i’m seeing a lot of baby fever on the dash lately, PLUS a lovely nonnie asked for angsty pregnancy prompts and i wasn’t able to, so have some lighter baby prompts instead! love to all!

“ is… is it mine? ”

“ have you thought of any baby names? ”

“ i thought the doctor put you on bed rest? ”

“ hey! i got you starbucks! decaf, of course. ”

“ have you had any cravings yet? ”

“ ah… i know. morning sickness is no fun, huh? ”

“ i’m pregnant. ”

“ you’re going to be a mother/father/aunt/uncle/etc. ”

“ i saw the pregnancy test in the trash. ”

“ the pregnancy test… it’s yours. right? ”

“ does the father know? “

“ who’s the father? “

“ it doesn’t matter about the father. i’m here to support you and this baby, no matter what. okay? “

“ you’re not alone. it takes a village to raise a kid, right? “

“ i want… a cheeseburger. with fries. and a strawberry shake. and onion rings… ”

“ that was a kick! ”

“ was that a kick? ”

“ is it a boy or a girl? ”

“ what color paint do you want? for the nursery? ”

“ we need to go shopping! baby clothes, maternity clothes, furniture, all of it! ”

“ i… we should get married. right? that’s what you do, when… when there’s a kid? ”

“ i know it was just a one night stand, but… i’m gonna support you. whatever you decide to do. ”

“ shit… um… i-i’m the dad. right? ”

“ you got that pregnancy glow. ”

“ hey… this is new for both of us. but i reckon you’re going to be a terrific mother/father/parent. ”

“ i… i slept with someone else while we were separated. they won’t pick up their phone, but… i’m not sure if you’re the father or not. ”

“ maybe we should move in together. n-not permanently. just until the baby’s born. ”

“ wait a minute. heartbeats?! plural?! we’re having twins/triplets/etc?! ”

“ woah… this pram costs more than three months rent. ”

“ ikea really knows how to make building a crib stressful… ”

“ god, i’m a mess. i cried yesterday while watching an advertisement for fence paint. hormones are something else… ”

“ can i have your fries? don’t judge me, the baby’s hungry. ”

“ my back’s been killing me for the last month, and i have four more months to go… my chiropractor’s gonna have a field day. ”

“ i know we want this to be a secret, but people are getting suspicious. i can only turn down champagne so many times… ”

“ wanna go with me for the next scan? it’s a big one, we get to keep a copy for the baby book. ”

“ oh, you best believe i’m signing up for all the babysitting duty. ”

“ would you like to be their godfather/godmother? ”

“ i’m their honorary aunt/uncle, let me spoil the little kiddo! ”

“ they have the instructions for this crib in every language except english. they have it in irish! who has it in irish?! ”

“ no! no mayonnaise! it’s bad for pregnant people! ”

“ i took the test nine times, okay, and all of them are positive. this is real. this is happening. ”

“ i always wanted kids… ”

“ that kid’s gonna be the most insanely loved baby in the world. ”

“ don’t look at me like that, okay? we’re going totally tee-total until the baby comes. ”

“ i swear, if i read one more baby book… ”

“ i wouldn’t mind, but all the women i meet when i go outside the door, all have different advice for me. the bump is like a magnet to them… ”

“ i wouldn’t blame you if you walked away, you know. you never signed up for a baby. ”

“ one thing’s for sure… everything’s going to change the minute people find out about the baby. ”

“ here! i got you some take-out. and i researched like, fifty mommy blogs to make sure this stuff was totally safe and healthy for you. ”

“ i don’t know if i ever had a plan for my life, but… if i did, i think pregnancy was later down the road. ”

“ my love, starting a family with you… it’s my greatest wish. but if you’re not ready, that’s okay. what will be, will be. ”

a few years ago i made this post about fancy tags to give some examples of tag styles you can use for your blog. now, while i was going through my inbox, i saw someone had asked for an updated version of it, so i figured why not? just like in the previous post, feel free to use or edit them however you want to. and once again, even though they are separated into single muses and multimuses, they are interchangeable. this time, i've also added some simpler styles for those who want something clean and easy without too many symbols or too much stylization. these are just some examples in case you need a little inspiration for what to use.

cal taking a nap with bd after they come back from an adventure.

my ancient computer finally died in a way i couldn't fix and finally, finally...i am set up to do digital art again. i've tried a couple of practice pieces but this is the first one i feel is close to good enough for the art blog.

not perfect, but better than anything else i've made for WAY too long. so hopefully this is the beginning of this blog becoming more active again!

(this is based on pictures my mom took of me taking a nap with my favorite cat years ago. i miss that little guy.)
