Big Love! Small Sketch!

Just a quick post to let you guys know that we are alive!! :)
Finding time to draw is getting more and more difficult, especially since I started school again. (taking an history class though...no practice!).
But the good news is that Alex is adjusting well and he is starting to establish a nice daily routine. He is a good sleeper at night but unfortunately he doesnt like to nap that much in the day time.
Here is a very quick drawing from yesterday. No time to finish it or to embellish it so I will post as it is and I would rather do a new one if i get some more time.

I love this baby so much!!! Having him smiling is always the best part of my day .

Things change...

Driving is not the same anymore ....

Crying record : 45 minutes ...  55 km

From Palo Alto to San Francisco, yesterday .   

Painful!

Three weeks of pure love. Digital drawing.

Three weeks today of pure love.
This motherhood experience is so much more than anything I was expecting. More love, more responsibilities, more smiles, more awaken hours (much more!), more happiness.
I am loving and enjoying every moment of it.
We are slowly getting to establish a normal daily routine that hopefully will allow me some drawing time too. Of course Mona fun time has priority on my art time! She is dealing so well with the little one...being patient, understanding, loving and protecting.
 Happy Monday everyone!

 Three weeks of being a mom.

Boobies time!

Hello everyone!

I am out and about :) ....(have been out for a while actually!)

Tomorrow I will be two weeks old...time flies when you are having fun :)
Life outside is awesome! I finally met mommy, daddy and the doggie.
It's fun!
Everyone loves me but I love especially  mommy's boobies!!

Life has been pretty intense and busy in the last couple of weeks....hopefully I'll get to squeeze some art time here and there.

Early morning are the best, before everyone wakes up, before the coffee effect wears off and before the tiredness kicks in :)

A clear example of multitasking, drawing and feeding my little man!

It 's baby BIRTH day !!!

Hello Alex....
you are on your way!
Exciting and painful at the same time :)

During the night we went to the hospital, after some exams they had us coming back home and wait for my contractions to get stronger.
And here we are, at home waiting.
Not long left though... contractions are getting closer to each other and stronger.
Could not sleep and I decided to draw instead...maybe I ll be regretting it soon! Everyone is talking ALL THE TIME of new parents sleep deprivation. We 'll see what is gonna happen to us :)
Time to drop Mona  at the doggie care and go and get you out of here!!

Is a another beautiful sunny day...incredible.
You are truly a summer baby!

Here is how they day looks like your BIRTH DAY.

Love you!
see you soon!

Pregnancy Fairies, part one: Nausey and Cravy.

40 weeks and 4 days (284 days)

We had a beautiful Sunday, sunny and around 80F .
Something special for Ocean Beach in July, maybe is just for you... and for me! :)


During these 284 days of pregnancy I saw my body changing, inside and outside.
At the end of this fantastic journey I am around 10 kg heavier and we are two people in one body.
(Pretty amazing!! )
I am a bit sentimental today since I have the feeling you are coming out soon, very soon.
Are you coming tomorrow? I bet YES :)

 What I am posting today is the first part of my pregnancy fairies project, each Fairy bring some kind of change with her, some are good some are less good!

Everything started with Nausey, the "lovely" Fairy who bringsvmorning sickness, nausea, stomach burn and similar .

Then there was  Cravy. Which is one my favorite.
 During theses 280 days is a good sign to put on weight so I indulged my self with all my cravings. Mostly pizza, parmesan cheese, bread, LOADS of bread, ice cream...more pizza and pizza again!

 I have 4 more fairies planned....let's see what happens tomorrow! :) I might to take some time out !!

Some photos from today :

Mona and me in the morning:

Me and your daddy in the evening!

 Have a good night and see you soon!
Love you!

Update from the bump: water breaking.

40 weeks and 3 days.
I am feeling really good! Fully energized and much better than yesterday. The sun is shining and once again I do not feel like today is THE DAY.
However the final decision is not up to me :) but up to you!!!
Flipping the coin might help you to decide if today is the day or not!
Please let me know!
One kick right is YES, 2 kicks left are NO.
Taking you and Mona out for a walk....please,don't make any joke !

Water breaking.
