5 WEEKS, 2 DAYS PREGNANT
I’ve never had one specific sleeping position. I rotate like a chicken in a rotisserie, from my left side to my back, to my right side, to my stomach.
But now, it’s all about the left! According to the wise and powerful internet, pregnant peeps should sleep on their left side.
Here’s why:
  • It improves circulation to your heart and kidneys
  • It allows for the best blood flow to the baby
  • It helps keep the baby’s weight off your liver
I’ve tried it for the last few nights, and it’s not so bad. They also suggest putting a pillow between your legs, which I haven’t tried yet.
I kind of want one of those pregnancy pillows. But I’m not sure if I want one because they look cool, or if I really need one?

I’m Heather Laura Clarke. I’m a writer living in beautiful Nova Scotia, I have a 12-year-old son and a 10-year-old daughter, I married my high school sweetheart, and this is the story of my handmade life.

I have depression and anxiety, and I fight like hell every day to keep them from taking over my life. Creating things helps.

Whether I’m writing novels, decorating a room, busting out my power tools to build furniture, getting muddy in the pottery studio, sewing clothes, or cross-stitching a swear word, I’m all about using my creativity to craft a life I love.

I’ve been writing this blog since 2009, so if you dig deep into the archives, you’ll meet a bright-eyed 25-year-old newlywed who was basically obsessed with having kids, buying a cozy house, and supporting herself full-time with her writing. (Spoiler alert: she got exactly what she wanted.)
