Being a fulltime working mom doesn't leave me much time to draw, but I do my best to draw while I am on the bus or train. It just really helps me to channel all of the crazy pregnancy, new mom and baby moments into these cartoons.

You might ask yourself why I don't only draw the blonde character since that one resembles me. Well, I created those two fictional girls (Debi and Bebi) based on my friend and me. She is Pakistani and I am German.

I continue to always draw both because I want my daughter, who is half Pakistani, to grow up and see cartoons and characters that reflect her as well. Most of my stuff goes to my facebook page.

Not if you learn the baby that there can be noises when they sleep :) I did this with my son, and to this day, (he is 7 now) he can sleep from any noises or even music :)

Once I intented to tell my neighbour that she forgot to close the window on her car, made her extremely mad instead, because her son just fell asleep. I felt sorry and angry at the same time :)

    LOL. I remember when my kid was born she was very quiet for the first couple of weeks. And I was concerned as hell - babies are supposed to cry non-stop, aren't they? So I talked to my doctor to find out what was wrong with my kid and she just laughed and said "Enjoy it while it lasts!"

    Sleep deprivation is real... Yesterday, I came home from the grocery store and as I got out of the car, I noticed my grocery bag sitting right on top of it! I had put it there while strapping baby in his car seat in the store's parking lot and, obviously, forgot it there. I rode all the way home with last night's dinner car surfing. :)

    When you are pregnant, you have a person in your stomach. As the baby grows in your stomach, it stretches out your skin. When you give birth, congrats, you have a kid! But then, all that stretched out skin is left. As you can see, she is trying to kinda tape it up On to the rest of her skin so it doesnt look weird. This is just what I think, i am only in 11th grade...

    It's a feeding tube that you tape to your chest and have to line it up perrrrrrfectly to your nipple. The tube is attached to a supply of donor milk or formula. The female body can stimulate milk supply by the feeling of a baby trying to nurse from you. This device helps the mom and baby practice proper technique to stimulate supply while the baby still gets to eat. It's genius but a b***h to do and is so frustrating. I could produce milk but not quantity. We tried this and I eventually gave up due to exhaustion and raw nips. It is also helpful in adoption/surrogate situations. The new mother can train her body to make milk even if she didn't give birth

    Oh mine did with my first.... yer it was exactly like a movie... range the hospital, they said just wait... come in in like 5 hours.... go in... your fine. Take a paracetamol and go home.... go home... get stuck in bath... give up and go the hospital again... they tell you they will check but probably have to go back home... they hit a huge fking red button on the wall for a c section cause I’m 3cm and my babies heart rate is too low... yer.... that was about 12 hours after my water spontaneously broke... lol 14 hours later I had my baby in my arms... second baby was induced and a vacuume and the third was really quick labour, waters birst at last second and another vacuume. All are different...

    I've got a 21mo girl and waiting for a second one. They'll be both teens at the same time. Two. Teenage. Girls. At. The. Same. Time. It's gonna be soooo fun. I bet I'll love wine more than ever.
