She's here! [Life update + Art news]
7 years ago
I'm so far taking motherhood well, but I guess I was well prepared after never getting sleep during college. It's also nice having my husband's help for the first couple weeks, but he'll have to go back to Japan before too long.
That was a wild ride though. My mom came down from my hometown to stay with me until delivery on Mothers' Day and the very next day I had another fainting spell and my doctor agreed induction was best for me given the health issues and the proximity to my due date. I went in on the 15th for an induction only to find out our munchkin had flipped again and was in full breech position so my classic induction turned into a surprise c-section. I kept getting pushed back since neither I nor baby were in any danger. I didn't get anything on my stomach for 36 hours and my daughter was born with a mass on her gums so she had to be taken to the special nursery. I got to hold her twice in the entire 3 day stay after her birth. She was transferred to the Children's Hospital of Atlanta for surgery to remove the mass and got to come home yesterday. She's a little champ and a heartbreaker. She stole all the nurses' hearts at both hospitals and is charming the pants off her entire families on both sides.
I've got a a stupid huge amount of doctor appointments for both me and her coming up too.
I may be slowed down on art and uploading but I'm not planning on stopping any time soon. You'll get more updates if you follow my instagram since I post WIPs there as well as finished works. I tend to get behind uploading here since I can't do it from my phone very easily.
Commissions will still be available but will be more limited on slot availability.
