It’s morning already!
I was up too late last night. I caught a second wind and with things so quiet and my studio was almost even a little bit clean, I got to playing. I had eric take a few pictures of me. I am feeling bad that I didn’t take more photos specifically to show the belly growth over the last several months. I think that I kind of stay OUT of photos if I can. But these pictures he snapped turned out cute and so I got playing after I my work was done- well, after I did what I felt was enough for last night! (is my work ever DONE?). It then got me journaling and thinking about all my feelings and emotions and where I am at with 4 more weeks of pregnancy. Gave me a lot to think about. It felt great to write.
So I unpacked a box I got from simple scrapbooks last night and read through the July/ Aug issue of SS. It probably came awhile ago- but it was fun to look through it last night. I have to send a shout out to the SS team… I think that the magazine looks beautiful! Cathy darling… you must be doing something right! And donna had this article about using trash and I thought it was so inspiring! I loved it. and there was lots of sightings of my prods and that makes me happy! So … good job you SS folks! I am going to stop hitting the space bar twice after my periods!
last night when i was 'working' i was using some awesome gorgeous 'art institute' glitter. i got new ceiling fans and man they work really good- well... note to self: TURN OFF the ceiling fans before you start working with glitter. especially the airy art institue. my room is covered in lime glitter. it's emily's and - well, sorry about that! i owe you more!

















Love it!!! Sooooooooo sweet!!!

Congrats Heidi. That is one beautiful layout. You and Eric must just be sooooo thrilled. I'm crossing my fingers that baby Swapp arrives on my birthday (Aug 16), but I am wishing your family all the best as you prepare for baby. If only every expectant mother played with glitter till all hours of the night - the world would be a MUCH more exciting place. Love it.

Mmm, lime glitter! I could handle that all over my house.

Wow, you look incredible, and it's so great you made this amazing page! I love to see "preggie pics", I don't even have ONE of all my pregnancies....such a shame!!! I think I got 2 of the 4...but who knows where they are...I am so happy for your family, you will ALL enjoy the new baby sooooo much! What great memories it brings...please get some rest in there somewhere! A new baby means T-I-R-E-D!! LOL Take care, and I'm wishing you the BEST!

Too Cute!! I just adore this lo!!!

You look absolutely MAH-VELOUS, DAHLING! If I could have looked that great when I was pregnant, I would have had more pictures taken of myself!! I have thought of you recently and wondered how the pregnancy was going, and I'm glad to hear that you are doing great, AND happily waiting the birth of your little one (and I assume, you're counting down the days until baby gets here).
Thanks for sharing, and I am so HAPPY for you!

Your husband did a GREAT job taking pictures. You look really beautiful! I'm glad you took the time to jounal how you feel right now. You'll treasure that later on. My daughter in law has 10 more weeks...I think I better take some more pictures of her. She looks so darn cute! http://jolenegeorge.blogspot.com/

Golly...if I hadn't already had five myself, I would start thinking about another! Your layout has it all, beauty, depth, emotion and insight. THAT'S what I am learning scrapping is ALL about. Thanks for inspiring me and so many. You really are a magnificent "SHE". Good luck in this last month. It is sure to fly by. Enjoy it. Sweetly~
