JUSTINA AND OMAR (PART ONE)

Certain people out there-- beautiful people-- you know, the type you think can't possibly get even more beautiful with age or while expecting or any of that?  Well.  I can say without a doubt that I've proved this to be wrong with Justina.  She is expecting her first baby who we know is a little girl, and I don't think I've ever witnessed a more gorgeous glowing soul than what I saw during the day with her.

We spent the sunny afternoon hanging around the house, talking about similar fears and hopes we've had as expecting mothers, adventuring out into the (freezing!) snow and eating delicious buffalo wings.  I was able to witness a friend that I've grown up with during this exciting transformation and I couldn't be more proud.  Justina, you are going to be a fantastic mother.  Thank you for letting me share your story.

* note: these aren't even half of the photos we took today, there will be much more coming throughout the week in separate posts. stay tuned! also- justina happens to be a fabulous photographer and you can find her website here.

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 26

We traveled to the Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art this past week for their children and families day to take some quick photos and watch Sofia explore the artistic activities they had provided for little ones.  We had the best time, and I have become increasingly aware of just how important these moments of family time are to all of us.  I can say I have officially reached the stage where my normal jeans are starting to feel too tight and coming home from work quickly means "no-pants".  Can you believe that in just 12 short weeks I could be giving birth?  I know I can't! I feel ready. WEARING:   POLKA DOT CHIFFON DOUBLE-LAYERED FULL LENGTH SKIRT IN CREME + BLACK BY AMERICAN APPAREL  |  PHOTOS: BY ERICK
