Pretty paper...

Adam's asleep on the couch, and I was going to take my own Sunday nap, but I was pretty caught up in the book I was reading and couldn't put it down. So, now I'm up and feeling restless... and posting on my untouched blog!

We're hosting Thanksgiving this year, and honestly we really enjoy it. I love all of the busyness and preparation - well, maybe not all of it. I hate cleaning my house, but I love the tradition and the holiday feel all over everything. The one thing I'm doing this year that I'm having mixed feelings about is that I'm using paper plates and napkins, and plastic cutlery. On the one hand I feel liberated of the only thing that sullies this great holiday - the clean-up. On the other hand, my table is going to look pretty dull. I would love to us this occasion to get out the china we got as wedding gifts and polish the silver that I inherited from my grandmother, but not this year! I think the benefits will outweigh the costs significantly. At least, I'm trusting that they will.

Also, I discovered the Bean really loves quiche... random, but true. I ate a huge piece this morning for breakfast, and I could literally feel this little peanut doing somersaults and flips in my belly. I guess Bean likes eggs... or spinach...

I'm also happy to report that I'm actually kind of showing now. I'm not just feeling huge and bloated all the time for no reason! There's a bump that is starting to protrude in my lower abdomen and the maternity jeans I ordered could not be more perfect in their timing or their fit.
