Five ways I have felt REALLY suddenly VERY pregnant this week

Posted on December 15, 2011 by heatherlauraclarke

Heartburn. It’s here for realz. Ow.
I started sleeping with my nursing pillow between my legs again, and have that familar awkward-rolling-over routine going on again. Ahh, memories.
I find myself touching my stomach more, without realizing it
A big jutting-out stomach. Now 70% juttier!
I zipped up a super-tight non-maternity stretchy hoodie thing and then got stuck inside it. I had to wrench the zipper to free myself.

I’m Heather Laura Clarke. I’m writer living in beautiful Nova Scotia, I have a 11-year-old son and a nine-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 it from taking over my life. Making things isn’t just a hobby — it’s part of what keeps me alive.

Whether I’m writing novels, decorating a room, busting out my power tools to build furniture, getting muddy in the pottery studio, sewing clothes for my kids, 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 as a writer. (Spoiler alert: she got exactly what she wanted.)
