Still Procrastinating on my Update.

Thing is, I LOVE that camera. I haven't taken pictures recently of... anything... and I always get really weirded out now even taking pictures of myself. It's like that borderline narcissism thing which I'm totally not at all, (but I just have a new CS5 that I want to play with!!) Totally not cool. Erick has been working downtown for the past three days so I can't bug him for photos, and well, this baby has been stuck in my belly for the past nearly 8 months so I still have to wait for her to make an appearance. Trust me, after that, this blog will explode in De La Rosa cuteness. And maybe I can snag the camera to do my video... I really need to make my 31 week update! I'm procrastinating so bad and we're getting really close here, folks! Plus. I feel like shit and I want to talk about it. Haha. I promise in the next few days I'll get it up, so let's plan on Friday or Saturday. Yay for Easter weekend! We'll be driving down to good old Essex, IL (never heard of it? don't worry) to visit my side of the family and eat some of grammie's awesome ham. I love ham. And with that, I'm leaving you guys today to go work for 9 hours and get a backache. YES!

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...

Easter Weekend

Hello! Happy mid-week to you. This is the roll of photos we shot over our Easter weekend , and oh what a wonderful weekend it was. It was so nice to have family here to visit - even if the weather was cooler than we anticipated! We visited the redwoods in Felton, ate vegetarian burritos, went to the epic shoreside in Montara, and the brewing company in Half Moon Bay. Our hearts are full and our home is feeling quite empty now ;) As a side note, I've found a renewed love with film. This is a post for another time, but it bears mentioning here! There has been much on my mind re: photography, and hopefully this will be the space I can share that. For the curious, all the above were shot on a Nikon FM10 with Fuji Superia 400 speed film.

welcoming fall: hiking together

A while back, I had posted about dreading the change of the season. I was so caught up in my whirlwind of a summer, the beautiful weather, the bare feet, the music and late night dancing in the wilderness, camping, and vacations that I barely remembered or welcomed the un-rushed pace that comes with the beginning of fall. Living in the middle of the city has been a blessing for finding new, exciting and bustling places to eat and explore, but so many times I'm wishing for the opportunity to do something a little less... urban . I grew up in the country, and Erick, in the city- so now we've been doing our best to give our child the best of both worlds. We took a drive about 40 minutes south of the city to a little place in the suburbs and welcomed the crisp and cool air that kissed our cheeks as we embarked on a tiny adventure in the forest. Hiking with a toddler is such an enriching exper...
