To answer a few comments left in my previous post:
1) My face HAS gained weight. In fact, I gained FOUR POUNDS IN ONE WEEK ALONE. OMG.
2) It's true, the doctor was impressed that I don't have the usual stretch marks that come with pregnancy, especially with this being my third one. I attribute this to a combination of genetics and a generous lathering of a cheap drugstore concoction on the belly every morning, a heaping so colossal that I have to wait about 30 minutes for the white layer to soak into my skin before I can put my clothes on. I do it more for the itchiness than for the stretch marks. But I'm also not fond of the idea of tucking extra skin into my pants for the rest of my life.
3) No, I am not wearing normal pants in that pic. Thanks, Jeny, but are you kidding me?! Those are my favorite maternity pants, because they are the under-the-belly style... a FANTASTIC invention. Almost as great as the Toilet Wand.
I am so excited to meet our baby. I pray it is healthy, healthy, healthy. My ticker says I technically have 9 days to go and, hopefully, he/she won't come early since I have two projects left to complete for work. I definitely don't look forward to the first two weeks of breastfeeding and the jolly cracking and bleeding fest that it usually is for me. But I look forward to being done with pregnancy (hallelujah!). Most of all, I am struck with awe at the Creator our God is each time I see our baby for the first time. I am also in awe of how they always come out looking about 99% Kwang and approximately 1% me.

A typical conversation between Kwang and Eli:
Kwang: Do you love uhmmah (mom)?
Eli: (nodding yes) Uh-huh.
Kwang: Do you love ahbbah (dad)?
Eli: Uhmmah (mom).
Kwang: Do you love Jude?
Eli: Uhmmah (mom).
For some reason, it's hard to imagine Eli not becoming my favorite.
