« Que signifie devenir père pour la première fois? Comment tout va-t-il changer, à quoi ressembleront les journées et quelle sera la nouvelle routine?
La partie intrigante avant de passer par tout cela est la relation avec la mère. L’appréciation d’elle, chaque point de son corps qui change constamment, mais qui reste aussi le même. Quelque chose de familier qui se développe. Il y a aussi la peur de l’inconnu.
J’aime les changements. J’en aime l’impression et la sensation. Et le rappel constant que c’est elle qui est importante.
Maja, mon amour » – Matej Sitar

“What does it mean to become a father for the first time? How will everything change, what will the days look like and what will be the new routine?
The intriguing part before going through all of this is the relationship with the partner. The appreciation of her, every point of her body that is con-stantly changing, but also staying the same. Something familiar that is developing. There is also the fear of the unknown.
I like the changes. I like the look and the feel of it. And the constant reminder that it is her who is important.
Maja, my love.” – Matej Sitar
“[…]The book is a succession of small moments with different levels of concentration. We stay beside him staring at a detail of Maja’s body with the fascination of the changes of her forms, and then, we run outside with little bashfulness. It takes nine months to give birth and the changes of seasons work as a metaphor of the cycle of life.[…]
[…]One of the quality of the book is that it does not show us any chronology, it is all mixed up. We do not begin with a pregnancy test, neither end with the birth. When I was talking about a diary, it has more to do with feelings than with facts, except for a few photographs showing Maja’s belly, we would not even notice about her pregnancy and the changes that means for a couple. The book is about Matej’s love emphasized by his feelings.[…]” – from the book review by Christer Ek
