"A portrait of my child, once a week, every week, in 2013."

Cheeky smile, your favorite pants, your favorite window seat.  Mama has put up a late portrait this week, and you've been extra needy for both of us, not wanting to sleep in your own bed or take your naps when you're supposed to.  Your papa and I think it's because you know the baby is coming soon. We love you so much and sometimes it's even a little heartbreaking to know you might be going through a transition, but we're here for you and know how good of a big sister you're going to be.

    It took a second for this photo to load and just seeing her hair poke out made me smile.

    And the wedding pictures? I don't even have words.

    Such a cute photo. Funny that you say you think she knows the baby's coming and all will soon change. Polly was exactly like this before we had Emilia and it felt a little heart breaking at the time but she loves being one of the big girls now... she's just one of those kids that is more in tune with things going on around her and a bit sensitive to change.

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...
