bump : week 33










The cold weather made being able to see my burgeoning baby bump over the layers of clothing nearly impossible, but it didn't stop us from going and having an adventure.  Yesterday Erick, Sofia, baby and I took a hike in a muddy forest just outside of the city.  Baby is stronger than ever, jabbing and kicking with such force that sometimes all I can do is just sit down and laugh.  My belly will bounce and ripple, and every now and again I'll catch Sofia or Erick looking over with a wide-eyed stare.  We can't wait to find out who it is that's growing in here and causing such a ruckus!

The reality is truly starting to set in, and I've been reading up a lot on water birth and catching up on episodes of The Midwives I've downloaded (I cry every time!)  This pregnancy journey has been so much fun.  Relaxed, exciting, and fun.

Huge smile!

    I'm interested and curious about The Midwives. Is this the show on BBC? I want to watch it. I simply cannot get enough information this time around. I just had a mini-marathon of all the business of being born documentaries and a friend of mine gave me another short documentary that was interesting.

    You guys are the best family and I'm so excited for your upcoming adventure. Sending lots of hugs and hopefully a little bit of springtime your way!

      It is! I've only been able to find episodes online to download, but it is such a great show. I'm already hooked. Lots of insight into midwifery and natural labor/birthing. Hoping you all have a very happy easter, big hugs to you!

    Beautiful! I am ever-so-distracted by those baby shoes though! Too much. Is it too much to be jealous of Sophia's shoes?

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.
