<p>I love using ads for design inspiration but this one is all about the color scheme…hot pink, apple green and black - love it!</p><p>Journaling reads:</p><p>I had such big plans for this pregnancy. I was going to document every moment of it. Spend endless hours contemplating the miracle of this child growing inside me. Analyze the physiological processes that were nurturing and generating a new life within me. Haha! What was I thinking?!? I have a 5 and a 3 year old. There is no time for calm introspection. <br /><br />Every night, after the kids are in bed, I sit down and watch my belly begin to undulate as little miss wakes up and stretches her limbs. I marvel at the rolls and flurry of kicks. I play "guess the body part" as I rub my hand across the expanse of my belly and feel the tiny arm and leg bones, the skull, the back, the unidentifiable lumps and bumps. This nightly ritual is the extent of my dedicated time with her.   <br /><br />As the weeks roll by at an increasingly alarming speed, I’m constantly reminded that I’ve completely failed at documenting this like I intended. I’m already in mourning at the thought that in just a few short weeks, I’ll never, ever get to experience the wonder of pregnancy again. I’m not usually a sappy person at all and I almost hate to wax poetic on "miracles" and "wonders" but I LOVE being pregnant and it truly brings out the emotional side more than anything else ever has (and it’s not just the hormones!)<br /><br />As I write this though, I have just 8 weeks and 2 days until my due date. And there is so much I want to do in that time. So, I guess this is just a reminder to myself to do it. As much as I can. And not to look back and regret what I *didn’t* do. Because it just doesn’t matter. Time goes on regardless of how much I want it to slow down. It just keeps on slipping away.</p><p>5.14.08</p><p> </p><p>Gems are Hero Arts and the black paint rub-ons are BasicGrey.</p>
