Baby makes Five

She/He looks so innocent... and yet by the third time around we're fully aware of how much disruption one little life can cause. We're still four months away (we hope) from the arrival of our third child, but today is one of those days that I'm not entirely sure we're up for it.
Just arrived home from a fun but exhausting weekend away at a friend's wedding. Mostly exhausting for the kids - lots of late nights and missed naps makes for kids a little more high-maintenance than usual. Which translates into exhausting for mom and dad too. They are, thankfully, sleeping peacefully at the moment. And it only takes me a few seconds to remember all the reasons I adore them, to recall all the times they made me smile or laugh out loud today, and to feel overwhelmed with gratitude for the gift of two healthy, happy children.
But still... 3?
