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

Sofia: Over the weekend we celebrated your second birthday over at your Grandma's house. You're an absolute water bug, very excited that your Gram hosted the party at her house with her big blue pool. All your friends splashed the day away with you. You're quick to tell us when something is not going the way you planned it to - just like any two year old should do. Getting you out of the pool at any given time was definitely not in said plan.

Alba: My sweet girl with the big lips and poof of strawberry blonde hair; not surprisingly, your hair has magically changed over the months from the dark brown set you were given at birth. You had no problems being passed along to all of our extended family members that haven't had the chance to meet you yet. You slept most of the day, like you usually do, but managed to give me one squishy stare before I put my camera down for the night.

    I love this series! I though about doing it for my own children, but wasn't sure I would keep up with it. Your babies are adorable.

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...
