baby bump, week 27

Somehow, despite all the eating of the Thanksgiving food and leftovers, I don't feel like I've gotten bigger in the past few weeks!  It's completely possible that I have, but I haven't noticed it, so maybe I haven't gotten bigger (or bigger enough to notice).  Or I'm in denial.  Something like that :)  However, the doctor said on Wednesday that my weight was good, so I think she's saying I don't need to limit Christmas treats and stuff...right?  You agree, right?

Despite my feeling of non-lots-of-growingness, here is a picture of what I'm looking like at 27 weeks:

Hey my hair is looking good in this picture!  Apparently it just needed a picture where it thought the focus wasn't on it...mwahahaha :)

Also I really like this off-white sweater thing I got from Motherhood Maternity.  The design is pretty hole-y so I can't wear it alone, but that keeps me cooler.  And I can wear it with a long-sleeved shirt underneath, as pictured, or with a short-sleeve shirt if I'm feeling hotter that day.  Versatility in a pregnancy wardrobe is awesome!  Also sales on top of sale prices is awesome - the only way to buy crazily-priced maternity stuff.

Remember how I said we ordered actual, real-people silverware?  Silverware that isn't cheap starting-college stuff from Walmart that bends like crazy, when you try to scoop ice cream?  Sadly we did not have it in time to make our Thanksgiving table look even more grown-up and official - but we have it now!  Ta-da!:

Pretty nice, huh?  I got to choose it and look at ALL the Oneida silverware options because I wanted to (and Morgan didn't :) ).  And so we got something pretty but simple and basic - and it's a stainless steel/some other metal mix, so it should hold up fine in the dishwasher.  Crossing my fingers!  But it's super-sturdy and looks pretty and can scoop ice cream well...all the stuff that really matters :)
