*cue a blues harmonica while I complain*

Oh my goodness are we ever ready for Sophie to come out already! I say “we” because when Kelly does not get good sleep, neither do I. This week has been one big problem after another and frankly, we are ready for issues that are more productive than this last batch. Kelly has entered the final stages of pregnancy which includes, but is not limited to, being uncomfortable 99% of the time. (All you moms out there know what I’m talkin’ bout.) This uncomfortability extends through the night and interferes with sleep at will. It’s one thing to have pain because the baby is trying to come out and meet us; a whole other thing when it is seemingly unexplainable stuff that the doctors explain as “I don’t know, the baby just probably needs to come out.”

*sigh*

Anywhoo, on the bright side, Kelly and I are massively thankful for our wonderfully understanding jobs/bosses. I’m not exagerating when I say we feel like they are a blessing from God. I’ve got a whole system up and running so I can bring my work back and forth from my work computer to my home computer without hardly missing a beat. (Thanks ChronoSync!) Also, I was able to complete a coloring excercise tonight. Some of you may recognize this character as Asuka Langley Soryu from Neon Genesis Evangelion. I did this exercise based off of a custom figure someone made in Japan. It was fun to do and it taught me not to shade along the edges. (A mistake many beginners like me make.) I still don’t know how people can color without reference photographs but it’s satisfying when you blend some colors and it actually looks like a real shape. Next time I need to try a more painterly brush. Well, you can tell it’s late and I need to go to bed. Tomorrow is a sleep-in day and I need to get started!
