I just completed and shared this illustration on my portfolio site, LL Creative. This was a particularly insane week at work, so spending some time working on this was a much needed mental break. I have always loved babies in animal hats (who doesn’t?) and I can’t believe I’ll have one of my own.

We’re heading back to school this weekend with back to back baby classes at Northwestern! Up first is infant care, and tomorrow is the hilarious and optimistically named Great Expectations, Northwestern’s version of the birthing class. I’m weirdly excited about it all. It feels nice to be actively doing something (besides adding things to my Amazon registry) in anticipation of the little guy’s arrival.

It also looks like a beautiful weekend here in my beloved/temperamental hometown, so I’m looking forward to some mocktails outside and a chance to wear something other than maternity jeans.

Cheers to the weekend, friends!
