I used to lament that my sketchbook wasn’t “pretty” (🙄) Now I’m just happy for a few moments to do anything in there at all.
This week has kicked our ass. The joy of getting to bring Mira home has been tempered with equal parts terror at the magnitude of responsibility being her full time nurses. The first night we dealt with two medical equipment malfunctions, Sunday we had a third. Indescribably nerve-wracking. This on top of everyone getting colds, sleep deprivation, and the general anxiety of being new parents and medical caregivers. Mira is safe and doing well, but Jake and I have had at least 5 mini heart attacks apiece. Even though Mira looks like a normal baby from the outside, we have to constantly be vigilant. She has an IV line going directly into her heart, which must be protected at all costs. It’s a lot. We are doing our best, hoping we get better.
After and before
Stayed up too late working on this like the irresponsible adult/dedicated artist I am
