HAPPY WEEKEND!



Hey everyone!  We hope you have a swell weekend, we sure are ready to enjoy a little time off together again.  We're so excited that in less than a week, we'll finally be on the road to Michigan to enjoy music, art, sustainability (and LOTS of hooping) at the Electric Forest Festival.  Until our departure, we'll be busy trying to round up lots of camping supplies and spending as much time with our little before she stays on a 5 day excursion at Grandma's house. ;)

A few things we think you should see this weekend:

• Where we'll be spending most of our time at EFF
• 21 pictures that will restore your faith in humanity
• How to make the most of the silly things that children do.
• It's almost too much cute to handle over at Tam's blog.
• Making sushi can be something fun for the kids too!
• This gentleman's work is so ridiculously awesome it hurts.  So good.
• Any of my single friends, if you haven't read this column you're missing out!
• And finally, though you may have seen it- it's still one of my favorite posts from this girl.

Talk to you soon, friends!

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...
