hey, baby!


Can you even believe it?

After months of hoping and dreaming for a house filled with little ones, our family will be meeting its newest member in the warmth of the springtime. We are all completely over the moon with excitement! Oh, my... a family of four!  It's so fun to even say that.

I am grateful and humbled with the pregnancy journey, now venturing into my second trimester with a healthy (kicking!) baby in tow.  I have slowly been regaining some of the lost energy from the first few weeks, and little bub has been craving lots of freezing cold ice chips, smoothies, milk, raw veggies, and the occasional doughnut.  My heart has exploded into a million pieces in the moments Sofia asks to "kiss the baby" and runs to my belly to give baby "big hugs".  I know in my soul that she will be the best big sister, her insistent need to help me with whatever I'm doing is proof enough in itself!

Documenting this journey is so special to us both, trust me when I say we have some amazing things planned  xo

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.
