Showered with Love.

Today was one of three baby showers little DLR has. I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful family. There were so many people that loved and supported us- laughing, telling stories, playing games and eating food. It was a beautiful Saturday, indeed. Even the sun decided to come out and play for the afternoon.

We are still sorting out the tons of photos from today, and will hopefully have some video footage of all the (ADORABLE) onesies, tutus, sandals, bouncers, tubs and everything our little girl could have possibly ever wanted or needed.

My family is so hilarious- and creative! My mom and aunt put together the most gorgeous decorations that could seriously be right out of a Better Homes and Gardens magazine. Not even kidding. All I'm saying is... we Votta's definitely know how to party. I had such a wonderfully long day of driving, middle school musicals and parties. I'll leave you with a few photos from today's shower before I turn in for the night.

We had such a wonderful time and are more than grateful for all the gear we've gotten so far. It's so great knowing our little girl will be brought into the world with open arms and a lot of style.

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...
