For Meelah's Birthday

A Sunday Confession: I am feeling like the world's most awful mom today! Last night, I was in bed at the late hour of 9:30pm. I thought Dustin had opened the door to the baby's room since we do it every night but he didn't. I didn't ask him, I just heard him close Brady's door and then I heard another door open and I assumed. Come 4am, I woke with a jolt and thought for SURE the baby had stopped breathing, why else would he have not woken up by now?? I ran to the baby's room to see the door was closed. He was fine, of course. But I'm not sure if he cried at all last night and I didn't hear him. :( His room is next to ours, he's just on the other side of the wall but still. I can't be sure and it makes me so sad!

On to the card. Yesterday, we went to Brady and Parker's friend Meelah's first birthday. She is so sweet and so cute! I wanted to make an extra girlie card for her. I used the sketch/product challenge from Limelight Papercrafts. The product challenge was patterned paper and I USED that as you can see. I also used the Paper Maniac challenge, to use ribbon. Those three purple strips are American Crafts ribbon. The pink paper is SU. The purple paper is PTI. The image is CC Designs.

Happy Sunday everyone!

  3. Oh, Ashley ~ You're such a sweet mommy! You both probably benefitted from the extra length of sleep!

  8. Hey Girl do not feel bad!!! We all have those moments and it is O.K. I am sure being a new Mommy that if sweet Parker was up crying you would have woken up!!!! We moms have that instinct and I am sure you would have known!!! It is probably just a coincidence that he happened to sleep longer the same night his door was closed, OR maybe he sleeps good with his door closed!!! My kids and babies have always needed their doors closed to sleep good so don't you fret even one bit you are a GOOD Mommy and you need to give yourself credit for it!!!!

    Hang in their girl and just know that your sweet baby knows you will be there for him keep him safe and well fed and taken care of!!!
