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!

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...
