Hello again !

It has taken me longer than I thought it would to get back to art and all social things around it. But now after long months have passed I am finally back here, I am slowly creating and I am gathering ideas and starting new projects, I cannot wait to share the process of it all with you. So much has happened in the cottage too and my art style has also found its rightful place.. so welcome back !

The whole pregnancy was pretty easy for me and I did not have anything big to complain about but birth was a different disaster,, 2 weeks overdue – induction full of panic attacks, black outs, way too much pain and it still ended in good old c – section,, that was just my luck. Fortunately that went well and we were home in a few days. Not to go into too much detail but in the end I was happier to get the C – section and be done with it and the recovery wasnt as bad as I expected it to be. But perhaps that is a story for another time if that is something that you all are interested in. Let me know in the comments. All is well now, we are healed and happy and we are celebrating our babys 6 month anniversary.

Meet our baby girl LARA LUMME,,,,

Our girl was born on Valentines Day which is a lovely gift for me and my husband. Every year we get to celebrate the day twice. She is a little stubborn firecracker like myself already crawling around looking for trouble and she definitely is not a fan of being told No. But we get along just fine and most days are happy and full of adventures. It is such a wonderful thing to witness, they are so helpless in the beginning yet they grow so fast and every day you can see them learning something new. Our girl is a fast grower in the turning, sitting and crawling department. We did not expect her to develop so quickly and we have had a few falling scares in the beginning. I am sure we are not the only ones,, hehehe,, but life goes quick and you have to adapt.

I myself have blossomed into another level of being,, a sort of serene calmness has washed over me now that I am a mother and it makes me feel stronger than ever. But do not get me wrong, being a mother is not for the weak or for those that in truth do not really want to deal with children,, you lose your freedom for awhile to raise, nurture and LOVE another totally helpless creature and I can understand why women become depressed so easily during the first year. I am lucky enough to have a support system behind me to pick me up when needed. The most important thing is to have your children with a good strong partner next to you, otherwise it would be easy to crumble. Doing ordinary things like going to the store, driving, or even just having friends over is so much more work and extra stress that I was not prepared for. But you get used to it and like my doctor jockingly told me in the hospital during a panic attack,, you wanted a child, now you are having a child, there is no real problem right ,, Harsh maybe, but true. Things are actually pretty simple we just blow things up ourselves sometimes. Things change but what matters the most is how we collect our own thoughts and feelings. Nobody else can make you feel good or calm besides yourself..

I hope that you have that amazing partner next to you, that you have love and warmth in your homes and I will see you really soon with my new vlogs, blogs and other artistic projects that are waiting to be let loose.

Til then my loves,

Brita and little Lara Lumme
