things that don't look the same.

So tonight edlr and I take my 23 week belly photos and I prance up to the LCD screen looking for a sneak peek. Oh. My. God. What the hell happened to my thighs? And my ass? And my boobs? I mean, I knew for sure my belly was going to grow with this pregnancy but nobody told me about the rest of my body.

I'm in shock.

So, I thought, how fitting for tonight's theme to be "things that don't look the same anymore." I cut my hair on Saturday. It feels good. It's dyed and I have bangs and for once it's just manageable and not out of control hippy locks.

(At least I have that to feel good about)

It's depressing seeing your body change. I mean, I know I'm creating a life here, but lil Sof is taking everything once good looking I had and becoming the most beautiful looking baby in the whole world. I just know it. Plus, it's the only reason I can justify for loving my newly expanded curvature.

Week 27 Update

Hello fellow internet peoples. Decided to give a HD video update for the beginning of my third trimester. (WE SO EXCITED!) It was a ton of fun to make, this time we were at home in Chicago. Erick had a bunch of lighting equipment after all the interviews he did with the chicago school councils, so before he had to ship them back we took full advantage ;) I'm learning more about codec and h.264 and prores 422 and although it makes absolutely no sense to me, maybe it will be useful knowledge in the future. What do I know? It was obviously a very gesture laden, emotional, 10 minute interview. I hope you all enjoy it. It really is longer than I expected but instead of completely chopping it up, I decided to leave it how it is. It's pure, natural, pregnant-y goodness of brain farts, odd humor, and searching for the right words. If you make it to the end, remind me to give you a gold star or something. I'll do it. ** A ...

bump : week 23

The sub-zero weather has kept us indoors, but it hasn't kept us from having the most amount of fun possible. I've been enjoying hot cups of tea served with teaspoons of sugar and condensed milk, curling up with my favorite blanket and enjoying the tap-tap, nudge-nudge of the littlest De La Rosa. Though I find myself playing catch up yet again (I'm 24 weeks!) I'm not complaining in the least bit. I've had this little family of mine all to myself for a full four days with no work, no emails, no agenda and no pressure. Ahhhhh... happy winter celebration, little baby. PS- did you know Erick finally launched his website ? It's up, it's responsive, and it's gorgeous. I'm a proud muma bear.
