….And then three hearts became four. 💕💕
.
Our little family grew by one more last Monday, October 28th 2024, 7:08am Japan Standard Time, our baby girl little Miss Akira Megumi Symon-Yamaguchi made way into the world, here in Osaka, Japan.
.
Labor was insanely fast, only 5.5 hours after waking up to realize I was actually finally having regular contractions 5 mins apart! In Japan most hospitals do not offer painless childbirth, and with strict 5 day hospitalizations w/ no minors allowed to visit, we decided a private birth house was the way to go for us where I could birth freely & be home in 3 days, while allowing my son to visit right away. 
.
After doing my first via induction + epidural, I was nervous as hell to not have ANY pain relief options available… & honestly, it DID suck lol however I was remarkably surprised at the difference in PP recovery in that the first time, the drugs caused me to be manic & anxious & I was unable to sleep for a week after, & ended up having pretty bad PPD in the aftermath. Being in an American county hospital, the constant nurse interruptions & terrible hospital food surely didn’t help me get a good start in recovery either. 
.
This time around, w/ no IV, no induction, no epidural drugs… I felt SO normal, sharp, & VERY much myself immediately after. No anxiety, no mania, the meals were prepared w/ love & lots of nutrition, & baby & I were left to recover & bond in peace w/ very minimal interruptions which was a dream! My son was able to visit immediately; such a magic moment! Overall it’s only been a 1.5 weeks, but it’s been so much better of a PP recovery period! 
.
Akira is the sweetest little angel, & thankfully so far very easy baby! I’ve been able to sleep in 2-3 hour stretches despite cosleeping w/ both babies together, & overall this has been a huge redemption from my first birth experience!
.
Also, compared to the US, mom & Baby have a 1, 2 & 4 week PP check ups compared to the singular 6 week PP which I think is absolutely great! I actually feel supported and cared! 

Thank you to @purima_baby Birth House for such amazing & loving care! It’s made all the difference in my birth experience this time! 💕 #japan taken in プリマ助産院 by @mami_monster

🌸💖🌸Ready for you Little Bitty Pretty One! #babynumber2

Three days before this I had a dream…where I heard a knock on the door as I was cooking in the kitchen, and when I went to answer the door, there was a little baby girl in a pink onesie with big googly eyes in a car seat left alone at the door. I took her inside the house and my son was suddenly standing next to me as I instinctively introduced him to the little girl as his new baby sister….. then I woke up. 😳 

Looks like she announced herself before we knew for sure! 
.
I also knew before we found out for my son too, I saw him in a vision in a deep meditation as a little blue embryo and knew he was going to be a boy! 
.
Two for two I’ve been correct in my guesses!😁
.
Have any of you experienced a premonition or dream that foretold the gender of your expected baby??

🌴🥳🐉🐒✨I think most of you who know me, know my love for techno and how much Miami nightlife was a huge part of my time working and playing in Miami in the last decade of living here. 
.
Naturally after pregnancy, we haven’t been back in the party scene for awhile… but all year in my mom group (where many of us were/still are nightlife industry folks) we all talked about how come there isn’t a #babyfriendly party available for Miami parents???? 👀👀👾
.
So of course we brought the party to my house, to celebrate mine & @feli.bussola ‘s boys, Nari & Valen, to celebrate our “Wild Ones” for their FIRST Birthday and OUR first year making it through as new parents!! 🥴🥳
.
Inspired by our beloved @spacemiami and all the best the Miami Nightclub scenes, complete with red carpet entry, Animal Onesie dress code, a Guestlist, VIP wristbands, and even Baby Bottle Service… featuring DJ Dancing Cactus hitting the AB”CDj” decks… a First Birthday fit for two tenacious little Miami Boys. 😂
.
It was an amazing celebration to ring in our first year as parents and a great way to bring in this next 2024 of toddlerhood and more in this year’s Year of the Dragon! 🐲
.
Thank you to all who attended and joined us to bring the love and vibes! We love you all! 🤍🤍🐉🐒✨1️⃣🧁🥳 
.
Also thank you to @softplay4funac and rainy weather bc we were gunna put the soft play outside but bringing it inside was the best idea ever!! 😆🥳

Watching my mom breastfeed my sisters & me so easily, pre-baby I always believed “breast is best”. Then I had my baby & I STRUGGLED SO HARD to breastfeed. 😭

The struggle was real & my mental health declined fast over it. My baby ate well, but by 4 months I HAD to supplement w/ formula but that too was a struggle for me finding a formula w/ a quality I could trust! 

If u know me, u know I believe that food is medicine & minimizing seed oil intake in a world w/ seed oils everywhere in everything is very important to me! 

At home I only cook w/ butter & Olive Oil & venturing into the baby formula market, I saw even the best “pediatrician approved” formulas were formulated w/ low quality ingredients like canola oil & corn syrups! This was NOT what I wanted for my baby to be eating when even I avoid as much of it as possible as an adult! 

EU formulas I found to be better than American, but it still used seed oils as a base. My mental stress over this began to get worse in my PP mess, but then I found @myserenitykids. 

A newer American small business & family owned, they too saw the gap in the US formula market & made a formula made w/ only olive oil, coco oil & sustainably sourced palm oil, & #CleanLabelProject approved for its purity & nutritional superiority, tested for over 200+ contaminants often found in baby foods! 

By 6 mos we were fully formula fed & he was THRIVING in the 90th percentile! By Nov, this brand also was thriving but began having issues keeping up w/ their own demand. We began to having to call between 3-4 stores weekly just to keep up our own stock at home but not wanting to compromise quality. 😥

By December I became frustrated, wanting to still supplement meals w/ formula into toddlerhood, & reached out to the company asking when they will ever be able to restock & resupply their demand?

One of the founders @joepcarr immediately reached out to me & assuring me they had just boosted productions & were rolling out w/ a full restock any day now…but in the meantime to help out, gifted us an entire case of this amazing formula we trust! 

Thanks SO MUCH @myserenitykids!! We love you! 😍🍼❤️

12 yrs in Miami I can say I’ve really done it ALL now!! 

From gogo dancing at almost EVERY Miami club, beachcombing as a club promoter, bartending at some of the hottest spots in Miami, partying w/ the best DJs, performing live at Ultra twice, & now I can add showcasing my artwork as an artist at an official Art Basel event!

My husband & I had the honor of featuring & auctioning our work, both as a digital NFT & physical painting, finished LIVE on stage, which SOLD for a premium price that only I could have dreamed of! 
.
Our work tells the story of my bloodline background, the Akō Rōshi, aka “The 47 Ronin”. It is a sliver of a greater collection of work connected to an expansive NFT collection & future metaverse & more….as well as the first physically forged katana blades linked to the blockchain via #Bitcoinordinal.
.
Most significantly, it is honorably a part of the #LunapriseArtMuseum, a collection of art being showcased & sent to the ACTUAL MOON in partnership w/ Space X. Like the actual moon….in outer fuxking space. Not Club Space…😂 like NASA rocket blast off to the moon fuxking SPACE. OUTTER SPACE! 🤯 🚀 🌙 
.
It is the first of a wave of art being rocketed onto the Lunar Moon Art Museum!!! 
.
We created this collection, titled “Face the Dragon” under our art media company RyuzanXR, in honor of our son… to leave a legacy behind that will allow him to know who and where his bloodline comes from. 
.
This particular character represents “Fujin” The Japanese God of the Winds…..& is 1 of 7 Character Player NFTs… which are sort of anime versions of a larger more extravagant collection that is absolutely breathtaking & yet to be fully unveiled.
.
This was such an incredible experience to be able not only produce art that was participatory in Art Basel, but to create art w/ real depth & meaning that represents the legacy meant for my bloodline lineage, my son. 
.
If you wish to tune in & check out our project, please visit ryuxr.com & don’t forget to listen to the fire musical soundtrack that I had the pleasure to do a Japanese voice over on in the top of the track!
.
To the moon…And beyond!

If you’ve been following me for the hot miami bih booty pics from back in the day day, this ain’t that account no mo’. 😂
.
As you see, I became a mom and now I have no time to give any fucks about how I present myself…. So please enjoy my barefaced hot mess tired mom artist look complete with wild postpartum Sailor Moon bangs I never asked for. 😭😂
.
But I’ve been getting back into my art side thanks to my darling hubs, and this month I’m proud to say I did a thang and had a submission for an Art Basel event at the National Hotel, hosted by @bitbaselart. It was painted here at home and finished live on stage as a live performance paint show on stage at the event. 
.
This work has a lot of story and depth and background that includes an entire metaverse and storytelling that I won’t go into details too far yet in here, but it is artwork loosely based on my own bloodline background to the Akō Rōshi of Japan, better known to the West as the “47 Rōnin”. These are connected digital NFT images as well… and were presented as a pair as digital and physical. 
.
The most special thing about this work is that it is registered to be placed ON THE FUCKING MOON, as part of Space X’s upcoming launch for the #LunapriseMoonMuseum. Like the actual fucking MOON. In outer space…. Yes actual space. Like blast off in a rocket and out of the Earth’s atmosphere into space. Not Club Space. Not that one. Actual fucking outer space. I still can’t wrap my head around it…..all thanks to @spaceblue.club . 
.
If you’re curious to learn more about this project, please check out ryuxr.com and don’t forget to check out the awesome soundtrack I also got to do voiceover in Japanese for that can be heard on the site. 😄😆

Here’s a few pics of my process…. Because….content.

.
Please, humanity….please let’s not let each other down. We need each other more than ever.  Inshallah. 🤲🏼🤍#ceasefirenow #boymama #🍉 #savethechildren #godseesyou by @mami_monster
