M Is Happy

Posted on | March 11, 2009 | 49 Comments |

She’s happy because mom’s going to be sleeping with her more now. I am a terrible sleeping partner. Hubby has had as much sleep as I had the last few weeks. He’d wake up every time I need to go pee and every time I turn or go “ouch” cause the babe kicked really hard – which has been about every hour. He really needs his sleep. He hasn’t complained but I feel bad and he’s been tired more lately too. So I decided to move out… least on weekdays. Unlike hubby, M sleeps like a log, so even if I’m up late, like now, or when I toss or turn, she’ll continue to sleep. I had the option of sleeping in the guest room aka craft room but no, M’s more cuddly than the pillows he he… Ahhh… the joy of pregnancy. Oh, I am officially in my third trimester so 12 more weeks!

This card is actually for somebody. It’s for a friend who’s going through a bit of a rough time. The colors are based on Kristina Werner’s black, white, and basic gray challenge. I kind of went off of Laura’s sketch too at 2S4Y but dunno… what do you think? The stamps are Inkandido and the sentiment + frame came from my Scarlet Lime kit. The pom-poms came from Jo-Ann, the pearl K&CO, and the rest are SU. All the stamped images were trimmed out and adhered using dimensionals.

Have a great one! I see my OB Thursday afternoon. Still in pain but they said to just take it easy. So I haven’t been up much. The hubby’s been helping me a lot around the house. He’s so so the best!! Even M is super understanding. She’d insist on me sitting/laying down. I love my little family!!!

Can I just say that I have been stalking your blog for a while now and seriously admire your very unique elegantly quirky style. You have some serious talent, lady.

And about sleep – I’m with you there, went through 2 nasty pregnancies in a row and then decided that life is too short to be utterly miserable for 9 months and double my body weight again. :D So our family is complete. I was VERY clear about that with my beloved husband who luckily saw my point. It was hard not to after waking up for months to his wife angrily ranting about one or other nastyness he had done/said in my dream. :D

Have a eventless last trimester and get as much rest as you can!
