Possible Meltdown Ahead

So #3 is on the way. I know this sounds obtuse, but I am stunned that this has happened. Aside from my irregularity and the healthy dose of work-related stress in my life, doesn't my age hold any benefits? Apparently not and my eggs haven't yet begun to shrivel up. I'm joking, of course, and know this is a blessing beyond measure. But I can't say the deliriously fatigued part of me isn't freaking out just a little bit. I think I'm only about 6-7 weeks right now, so it's still really early.

We took a trip this past weekend to Santa Barbara and the beautiful wine country to celebrate our anniversary, attend a wedding and, most importantly, get away for a bit. It's been a tough few weeks of Kwang working long days and nights and me feeling like a single working parent. So we packed up the fam and took a little road trip. It made for a really nice and enjoyable weekend. When I look at this picture of Eli below, all I see is roundness. Lots of it. Everywhere:

And Jude making the most of his hand-me-downs:

And finally, a picture I didn't even ask for and am still shocked I got. Pretty much sums up our weekend of family fun:

So why take the kids instead of indulge in a nice romantic getaway just the two of us? Judging from the surprise baby news we got on our anniversary, I think it's safe to say Kwang and I see enough of each other already.
