I came across these illustrations just recently and really enjoyed them. A lovely very natural and honest as well as sweet approach to one of the most amazing experiences in a woman’s life – expecting a child.

Mie Frey Damgaard, based in Copenhagen is a designer, illustrator and visual storyteller. In 2010 she graduated from the Master Program at the Design Academy Eindhoven and also holds a BA from Kolding School of Design, 2006.

“Sometimes waiting is good, sometimes bad. When you are pregnant, waiting gets a completely new meaning. It is the most amazing time and the next moment it’s the hardest time. One moment you feel beautiful and elegant as ever before and the next moment you can sleep for a million years and you don’t even understand the meaning of elegance anymore.”

During Mie Frey’s own waiting she captured the beauty, elegance and exhaustion in her series – “Waiting”.

The print includes 15 moments pregnant women will experience. Each “moment” can also be purchased as a single print. And isn’t this a perfect baby shower gift?

“No more waiting” is the next chapter. The baby is born. You get to know each other, you feel vulnerable and your life and yourself are changing…

A beautiful gift idea when you go and visit the new baby and mum.
 

Mie combined the Waiting illustrations and the result is this pregnancy journal. To help you to keep the memory of your wonderful experience of being pregnant and becoming a new mom. The journal contains 68 pages with illustrations and pages for notes.
