As some of you know, I'll be heading down to the SXSW festival in Austin tonight and have developed an all-around guide for anyone traveling to a music festival this summer.  SXSW isn't a camping festival, so you don't have to worry about tents, food, or any other outdoors-y gear like that.  I'm actually remotely thankful that we'll be in a hotel this year because my growing pregnant belly wouldn't enjoy sleeping on cold ground much right now.  (As much as I do enjoy that).

Here's what's coming with me to the fest:

- DSLR AND SLR camera.  (Told ya I couldn't make up my mind.)
- Sunglasses  because you can never find them easy enough or cheap enough once you're down there.
- One zip up hoodie  Austin is 80 degrees during the day but it's 60 at night.
- Thrift store skirts   Don't blind fellow concertgoers with your white, Chicagoan gams.
- Backpack purse     So much easier than a shoulder bag.
- Flats and Sandals  We know you like to party, but SXSW is all walking, lady.
- LED hoop   Gotta show Austin what I'm all about, even 26 weeks pregnant.

I hope you all tune in for the ride, I'll be updating frequently!  All the digital photos I'll post, and my film prints will follow once we get back.  Hope you all have a lovely week.  Here goes!

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.

bump : week 22

I've said it before, but if I could pack up and move my entire family straight into the By The Barkers studio space, I would. Absolute heaven! As for our little one, he or she has been giving me strong, swift kicks - especially around bed time.  Waves and ripples dance across my belly as I lay in bed waiting, watching.  I'll admit, it's been difficult for Erick and I since we've decided to keep things a surprise as far as the gender.  We were both so used to the feeling of knowing with Sofia that it's made this pregnancy a completely unique experience.  My intuition keeps swaying back and forth wondering if this little one is a boy or girl, and judging by the way that I look, feel and eat, my best guess is that we have another little lady on the way. (Though, if you ask Sofia, she's already told us she thinks baby is a "bruh-der")  !!! Mamas out there, was your intuition right? Any tell-tale signs or...
