My Favorite Things

(Pregnancy Edition)

 

Dessert

Dessert generally and ice cream specifically.  I only found this fabulous pumpkin flavor once but pretty much any ice cream will do.  And although ice cream has become a nightly staple, it should be noted that I have nothing against cake, cookies, or brownies.  This is actually true pregnant or not.

 

Black and Gray Clothing

I don't know if it's the pregnancy, the time of year, or living in New York City, but dark clothes just seem subtle and right.  So black and gray are the official colors worn by the baby bump.   Don't worry, the real baby will be much more stylish.  I tried on a hot pink sweater at Target and felt like a balloon at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Yep, that's 30 weeks for you.

Pants with Stretchy Waist Bands

I've always had a thing for elastic waistbands (who doesn't!) so it's super fun to have an excuse to wear them every day.  I might hang on to my pregnancy jeans afterward and just call them my Thanksgiving jeans.

Tiny Baby Clothes

To stick with the clothing theme, check out these strawberry and eggplant onesies from my friend Linda.  Gosh, how is everything sooo adorable when it's mini-sized?  Only cute babies can get away with wearing eggplants all over them.

And Randy's Current Favorite Thing...

Our Christmas Tree. 

Yes, it is 8 feet tall and, yes, it is hitting our ceiling.  Randy carried it all the way home (on foot) and is very proud of himself.  We had to buy more lights and stretch out our ornament collection to make it cover the whole tree.
