hello there


Hello, friends.  It's been a while.  For any of you that have stopped by lately, I apologize for the absence here.  I miss this space.  I miss writing.  Most days I'm having an internal monologue with myself for minutes on end, trying to see if I can ever get out of my warm cocoon of a bed and head to work.  Erick and I both have been hit over the last two weeks with sinus infections and an extreme bout of exhaustion, so now our days have been spent primarily at home between blankets on the couch.  (It's been pretty cozy around here, lately!)  I do have some pictures from our time at Bengston's pumpkin farm that I'm planning on posting soon, and thankfully we've all been starting to feel better.

Now, it's off to go figure out why Sofia is wearing my old breast pump and tubing like a scarf around her neck...

Happy Tuesday! ;)

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.

"A portrait of my child, once a week, every week, in 2013." SOFIA:  You are my goofy child, my prankster.  You are the spitting image of your Papa, though every now and again I find some piece of myself in you and it makes me pause.  You are my lover, and you are my fighter.  You greet me in the morning with sweet, breathy kisses that only the mouth of a little girl can give.  I hope you will look back on this blog and find strength when you're feeling kicked-down, confidence when you're doubting your abilities, and daily reminders of how much love we have for you, for our home, for our marriage, for this little life we've made.  I am thankful for every day I get to be your mum, and you are certainly becoming the most beautiful soul I could have hoped to raise.
