We went to register Matilda's birth today at Coventry registry office. We got into town far too early and stopped off for a coffee at Starbucks to pass the time. She looked so tiny and beautiful and today she would officially be recognised as Matilda Grace Harrison rather than baby Harrison. There was a quick moment as we just checked with each other if it was the right name, there was still time to change our minds. But Matilda it was.
They ask how many other children we've had, but also if we've had any miscarriages or stillborn children. How sad and distressing it must be to still have to register. It almost made me feel guilty as we walked out with our healthy happy and beautiful baby girl.
