DATE NIGHT (WITH CAPTIONS)

After a long time of thinking about it, (and a few failed attempts)  Erick and I were finally able to sneak in a date night yesterday.  It felt so good to get out of the house for a few hours, but I'm not even kidding, the WHOLE time all we could talk about was our baby!  I'm sure that's a given now at this point, though.

The place we drove up to was Paddy Long's, a hidden little joint up in the Northside.  Three words- bacon and beer.  Paddy Long's has a special that is unique to their pub where you come and taste five different beers paired with five delicious strips of bacon from around the globe.  I never imagined how awesome of an idea it was to eat bacon as you drank a beer, but I AM AWARE now.  Erick and I shared a few rounds and ate way too much food... seriously.  Check out Paddy Long's menu and read the description of the bacon bomb.  Yeah, I told you.  That is some Epic Meal Time if I've ever seen it.  To top the night off, as we were having our last beer, the power in the bar went out and we were able to sit romantically by candlelight and enjoy each other's company for a few more minutes.

So what does Sofia think about all this?  Let's just say it probably won't be happening anytime soon.  The girl is smart.  It's like she knows when we're getting ready to leave her because the chill, well- mannered baby we had turned into an inconsolable crying troublemaker in the matter of a few days.  I could just picture what was going on inside her tiny little head:


OH HAI MOM AND DAD!  I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU!  ARE YOU GOING TO STAY AND PLAY WITH ME?


OH. YOU WANT TO GO ON A DATE, HUH?  LET ME CALL MY SECRETARY SEE IF I CAN PENCIL YOU IN ANOTHER TIME.


HI, SECRETARY.  MOM AND DAD WANT TO DATE.  AM I FREE IN A FEW HOURS?


HMM... I AM? ARE YOU SURE? CUS I REEEALLY WANT THEM TO STAY.


OKAY!  I LOVE YOU ANYWAY!  SEE YOU IN A FEW HOURS!

    I'll see if I can manage that... Lol. Erick has yet to stand infront of a camera for a pic yet let one write anything... Plus I only have one adorable person to take pics of while he's working! Haha. But I will try. I know too many baby pics everyday can get annoying!

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 : 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.
