This has been lying around since January 2019 and never got around to upload it here. Life as a mom has been wonderful, but has also become a full time job lol. So here is my belated Summary of Art & Sewing 2018!

I will keep this recap short (I think, I was planning too lol), since it's been over a year ago O_O After that hectic year of 2017, 2018 was a year of recovery and huuuge life changing steps. I will start of with some sad news, I couldn't share before and so I can end with super good news. In 2017 I miscarried multiple times, the 3rd time by the end of 2017 was pretty heavy and ended as a missed abortion by the end of my 1st trimester. I had to get to the hospital after they found out I was blood poisoned and had to get a curettage asap. It gotten to me pretty heavy, not only had I become very sick but I also lost life. Then because of this operation I had a huuge back pain and shoulder pain (I have chronic back pain, but this was different). Going into 2018, I finally got a redirection to get in a program for my chronic pain. It was a pretty intensive program where I had 3 appointments a week to work with a physiotherapist, a psychiatrist and a combination of those 2. They would take over from my old physiotherapist (which I later would return to if necessary) and psychiatrist, I stopped with my chiropractor. It took over allot of my time and energy and was working with them until the summer if I can recall correctly and still had to come back for check ups in 2019. Mentally they helped me allot and made allot of progress, physically not so much to be honest. Still no answers, still pain on a daily bases.

So that was kinda a summary of the some less fun news :P Now on to the joyfull news! While I was working on getting better and recover from my burnout, we still wanted to get pregnant since that was in the planning for a pretty long time already (heck partly the reason I wasn't doing so well). So after about a half a year since my missed abortion we finally got pregnant again! WOOHOO! I couldn't be happier and this time, everything went so well. And with the help I was getting too I could get tips to stay fit and stay calm in my mind, in short to be mindful. And to be really honest, I think the pregnancy really did me good. Because of all the hormones my body felt fitter (well expect in the first trimester) and healthier then ever and my mental health was really great too. My head was more clear then ever and for the first time in my life I felt less to no anxiety in my body. When the program was finally over I was so happy tough, because I felt they couldn't really do much for me anymore since I mentally felt so much better and due to my pregnancy couldn't really do all the training anymore and a much needed rest was great to finally be there for me. I just went into my 3rd trimester, so the timing was perfect. Meanwhile I picked up Yoga and soon also pregnancy yoga and that helped me soooo much too! I've been doing yoga until the day I was due, I felt great! O________O A Super Women! I produced most of the work/projects in my 2nd and 3rd trimester including Ziri's room ❤️. I have been working until the last week before I got due and finished another onesie. Not as much as I was hoping for, but it was something at least! I felt I've done allot during my pregnancy, so in that way it really helped me to finish projects even tough the pregnancy took allot of energy from me and the program I was in allot of time. All in all busy and progressive year.....oh wait....

We're not there yet! My biggest accomplishment hahaha no but seriously O_O November 2018, this was life changing for me. My handsome little boy was born! Exactly on the date I was due :O I couldn't be more proud on my self and happier with my life while holding him in my arm for the very first time. The first months where extremely exhausting, but oh so worth it. You haven't been hearing allot of me since I've become a mom, well with a good reason. I'm a full time mom now! Buuuuuut that doesn't mean I haven't been creating. Keep an eye out on my next update for a 2019 summary and my plans for 2020! Again thank you all so much for the wonderful support and kindness. Happy to be a part of this fandom ♥ Love you all!
