This has been a good week. On monday night Matilda Georgie weighed in at eight pounds fifteen ounces in old money. She is a lovely little thing and both mother and baby are doing well. It feels good to have both a grandson and a granddaughter and I am so happy for all of the family.
My great grandmother was Annie Matilda, though I suspect that had no influence on the choice of the name; in fact looking back through the family tree, it would seem that there was another Matilda in the dim and distant past.
Matilda Georgie does have a link with her brother whose name is Oscar Bailey. Their mother is a fan of the movie - It's a Wonderful Life - and the lead character - George Bailey. We will be watching it again this festive season as we always do, but this time with a real sense of completion.
Welcome to the world Matilda - I hope that it improves as you grow older.
