I remember when I was pregnant with Olivia she would kick, poke, turn which was surreal. I would record her moving to the sound of my voice. It was amazing. When you see your stomach moving the first time, you realize, there’s someone in there. As you grow each month you think, whoa it must be getting a little tight. I got used to the turning and poking and kicking but the part I wasn’t used to was the scratching. When Olivia was born her nails were quite long.
When I felt like I was being scratched, I was thinking, this feels weird. When I was pregnant with Carter I was thinking to myself, wow, he’s scratching me, just like this big sister. I wonder if he has some sharp nails too, then I thought of this idea for a comic. Maybe they had some crayon in the womb and wanted to doodle.
Nine months in the womb is a long time, I assumed they probably wanted to keep themselves occupied with something. Hahaha.
