Dear Baby …

30 weeks, 5 days pregnant
Dear Baby,

I bought your playard yesterday on my lunch break, and couldn’t wait to come home and set it up. It has a bassinet on the top, and that’s where you will sleep when we first bring you home from the hospital.

Daddy was working, but I was determined to put it together myself. It was frustrating, because I couldn’t reach into it very well (on account of you), but I didn’t stop messing around with it until it was standing proudly next to my side of the bed.

I’m sure people think I’m crazy for setting it up — sheets and all! — 65 days before you are scheduled to arrive. But I don’t care.

Last night I went to sleep with one hand resting on the side. I can’t wait until you’re lying there, next to me.

xoxo

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.)
