Thank you all so much for all your wonderful baby advice. As expected, some of it was contradictory. But I know that’s because every family and every baby is different. But I did get lots of good information to go on. So thank you for taking the time to share your insight with me!
And just so a certain few people can stop e-mailing/texting demanding photos here is a photo of the bump. For the record, I think it looks bigger in a dress than it does when I’m wearing regular clothes and Jacob agrees. I really don’t feel big at all but looking at the picture makes me feel big!

27 weeks!
You look beautiful! I love bump pictures.
GORGEOUS!!!! You wear pregnancy too well. I’m thinking that its a good thing we are not neighbors right now (the only time in my existence I will ever say that)…I would have to feel really bad about myself.
What a pretty mommy-to-be!
You’ve got the baby mama glow!;) It’s so fun to see a picture. You really do look great!
Beautiful! That’s a girl belly for sure.
You look so cute! What a great picture.
I think you look great!
You look radiant, Emily.
Oh wow! You look amazing! I agree, pregnancy suits you.
