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.

  2. Can I just say?.. This "bump" series is the best. Baby is already a part of the family and I adore seeing that in these photos. And you and Soph... oh man, you two are precious.

    1. He is quite the photographer, and his true talent lies in dealing with someone like me in front of the lens... (I can get a bit snippy when I'm overtired!) I admit, it's been really strange sitting at a computer color-correcting photos of myself, let alone SEEING myself so much on this blog. I'm not used to it at all! ;)

  13. Those photos are seriously spectacular. I'm pretty jealous that I don't have someone to capture some photos of my baby belly like that! Such a beautiful baby belly it is too. I'm going to be searching the cupboard for some condensed milk straight after this, so delicious in tea and I haven't had it for such a long time!

  14. I got little tears in my eyes looking at these! So damn beautiful! You're family is just beyond precious Kate x

  20. I love love love this series. Your home has so much beautiful light! (metaphorically and literally) :)
    Great colors also! My favorite week so far. I hope you're feeling as great as you look!

  21. Beautiful photos, gorgeous bump, and Sophia looks so happy! I love how little ones try to understand (or do understand!) - my two year old niece, whenever I see her, always pokes my belly and says, "Baby?" then tries to lift my shirt up to find him.

    Time is flying! But it's terrible that winter is finally here. Motivation: lacking.

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 FEW NOTES ** So there is a great shop fea
