4 more weeks as a family of 4

This will likely be one of the last pictures of us as a family of four. It's the end of an era!
I took these photos with the Korean camera app, Pudding, which I learned about from my favorite blogger, Nat the Fat Rat. Props to my sister for identifying the orthography as Korean!

I love the above pic for a variety reasons. Certainly because my girls are edible in their cuteness. I also like that Rosie is thoughtfully masking my pregnancy jowls. But more than anything, this rendering of Agapito makes my heart swell. You hang out with a person for several years, getting accustomed to their mien and manner, and then out of the blue, it hits you anew, what a face! 

I like the pic below because I look more like myself when I'm not pregnant. Ahh, the joys of pregnancy face, with all its attendant puffy swollen glory! My sister-in-law once complained that her nose would get puffy when she was pregnant, and I was like "What?! That's nuts!" But lately I feel like a drunken leprechaun. 
For the record, I'm wearing a strapless maternity dress, not lounging in hippie nakedness!
Well, I started this post to reflect on how strange the prospect of being a mother to 3 is. But there's not much more to say than, well, it's strange... and wonderful...and I totally dig it.
