I've been thinking of you.

Hi baby.  I've been thinking a lot of you today.  Your shower is tomorrow and we're seeing one half (my half) of the family.  They're loud, fun, and overpowering in a good way.  I'm sure you're going to have a blast listening to everyone laugh and tell stories and of course- eat some great food.  You've been getting so big that you're crushing mama's lungs and making it extremely difficult for me to breathe lately.  That's okay.  You just keep on cookin.

Your recent growth spurt also reminded me of another cool pregnancy symptom.  The boobs I have?  Yep- they're going to feed you soon.  I'm saying goodbye for now to the sexy side of my breasts and saying hello to your new size D 'yummies'.  I looked down the other day and thought, hmm, what IS this?  Milk?  Now?  Right.

Everything in my body is changing and preparing for your arrival.  Me and your papa have been getting things ready in your room and I'm constantly keeping track of cool things that I find, I want to show all of our friends on the blog.  We are getting so close, baby.  I still feel so calm.  I know once we see each other for the first time and I hold your little body close to mine, everything will make perfect sense.

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 : a thank you

Thank you all so much for the warm welcome on our littlest growing member of the De La Rosa family - we are so lucky and blessed, that is for sure!  Lots of time has been spent the past few weeks celebrating with friends and family, though a certain "weight" has been lifted now that it's truly out in the open.  (Ahhhh...)   Erick and I knew right away that this go-around, we were going to try everything we could to have the birth we wanted, so we've switched our prenatal care from a standard OBGYN practitioner to one of the only midwife groups in the state.  Although it is becoming more common, midwives and water births are still extremely difficult to come by.   In Illinois specifically, there are only two birthing centers in a 50 mile radius willing to offer this to us - and one of these didn't take our healthcare plan.  It's crazy how many long nights were spent researching on the web and phoning out to different practices, but I am so happ...
