Since I officially exhausted every viable Netflix series during my third trimester, I’m trying to find ways to occupy myself during naptime besides binge watching terrible daytime TV and watching the new Instagram stories. I’m getting better at napping when Hudson naps, but only for ONE nap a day, and Huds is clocking in six daily naps at the moment.

Creating this illustration made the lulls in between baby snuggles fly by, and I hope to keep going with these.

I think the best advice I got while I was still pregnant was from a friend, also a new mama, who said: “Always shower. If you have the choice to sleep or shower, choose the shower. You’ll be tired no matter what but if you shower you’ll feel better the rest of the day.” So true! But most days it ends there. Working on this illustration made me want to get out of pajamas, put some makeup on and maybe even… blowdry my hair? Definitely tomorrow. Probably. Maybe. 🙂
