motherhood is a rich experience

Today my colleague has her last day at work. She is expecting a baby boy this summer and the doctors want her off of her feet. I will miss her, and I know that she is torn about leaving earlier than expected. So I made her this card to remind her that some experiences are richer than others and so, as a result, have a price to pay.

I hope the card has a feeling of movement to it. My poor friend has to stay in bed  for the next couple of months and I am trying, through imagery, to convey the surge of movement that will define her future.

I could go on and on about bed rest, but since I never had to do it, I shouldn't joke about it.

But... darn it! I am so tired!

When did I last do bed rest?
