Oh goodness gracious, I can’t believe HOW tired I’ve been seriously sleeping LONG nights like 9 or 10 hours (and this from the me that usually does about 2am to 7:30am) then of course I have to nap in the daytime sometime, I think this weekend alone I took more than 6 hours in naps. I remember feeling drained with my previous pregnancies, but not anything like this, but maybe I blocked it all out.

I do know I’m feeling way less sick to my stomach this time (knock on wood) I remember at six weeks it hitting me like a ton of bricks, the puking and and that constant queezy feeling. I’m grateful for the random waves of nausea that don’t seem to get much worse yet, much much more manageable.

Although just thinking about that stinky sink full of dishes in there is making me feel a bit ill!

In between all the sleeping I did manage to finish a page, his one I did for the Recipe Challenge at SSD:

This is Shabby Princess “Rummage Chick” kit, Tiny Tags by Jessica Bolton, Stitching By Dani Mogstad (Coming Soon!), and NewsPrintAlpha by Retro Diva. Font is Problem Secretary. Click on the image to see it up closer and read the journaling

It is a great simple recipe, and I’m really so happy with how it turned out, I love the little expressions these guys are making, that Reece always manages to make me laugh.

I just want to take one more second to say THANK YOU so much to all of you for your support and your excitement with me about the pregnancy, I always get this warm tingly feeling when I think about all the people out there supporting each other being there for eachother and celebrating together the good times too.

And speaking of supporting eachother, there is a really really precious kit up this week at Sweet Shoppe Designs Manda Bean and Robin Carlton made it together to raise money for Manda’s sweet baby niece that was still born due to a cord incident in the womb. It is so heart breaking, and moving too to know that there is a way to help: By purchasing this kit & the Precious Child album, which was created by Sweet Shoppe staff & friends, You are contributing to the Esther Grace Slagle Memorial Foundation that will assist My brother-in-law and sister-in-law in paying the unforeseen expenses of losing their child. There is also a beautiful set of 12 quick pages that I actually was able to contribute to, that is raising money for Ester’s family.

Really really a gorgeous kit, and quick pages for a really special cause, you don’t want to miss it!

Okay, well it is time for me to get back to life, naptime is calling my name, but before I sleep I need to do some laundry folding and, (gag) some stinky dishes…. wish me luck!
