Blog candy: here {::SMILES}

Hope you’re having a great weekend! I just want to post this really quick and go back to spending the weekend with the family. My ultrasound came out a-ok. I’ve got a mover but she’s normal size and it seemed like all body parts are in there. The tech said I’m just carrying her inside me. That’s why I don’t quite look 29-wks and hurting everywhere — including a hard time breathing. I think if I were 2″ taller I’d be better… more space he he…

Material: Making Memories paper pack (I JUST bought it at the lake where my conference was at — what a coincidence, butterfly from Stampin’ Up! (mini catty), ribbon from Jo-Anns (the cheapy ones they carry, on sale for $1), felt flower from American Craft, button and twine from stash. Color inspired by Kristina Werner, #46, black, regal red, riding hood red, pretty in pink, and bashful blue.

More laters!

M Is Happy

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!!!
