Time is standing still!

I just wanted to do a quick check-in on the blog to say TIME IS STANDING STILL! I am done with work, well almost. I have been working from home this week, and I must say - I could get used to this. However, it does get kind of boring and I think I would go crazy if this is what I did every day. I'm sure I will think differently once Bennett is here, I know I won't want to leave him!

I am feeling good. Almost too good. I thought the end of pregnancy was supposed to be torture? I can still sleep well, do things around the house, and am not confined to the couch! I am blessed! Bennett seems pretty content in there, but he still moves quite a bit. He moved literally all day yesterday, it was crazy! It seems like he wants to get outta there and stretch out a bit. Come on little man, we are ready for you!  My 38 week checkup I was making a little progress...but not as much as I'd hoped.  Starting this Monday if I haven't made any more progress it's time to start walking non-stop! 

Here's my 38 week pic - I don't think I am any bigger than last week. Bennett seems to have dropped a little and I might even be a little smaller. That's cool with me! I was feeling really massive there for a minute!  I also decided to cut my hair last week, it feels so much better!  No more 20 minute dry time for me!  Not complaining though...I will never, ever complain about having thick hair again!  It saved me a few years ago!  You can tell from this pic that I've got some swelling in my face finally...I was expecting that.  My feet still swell pretty bad at night...the left one is always more swollen than the right.  I keep them propped up but it doesn't seem to matter much!

38.5 weeks - 11 days to go!

My parents were in town this past weekend and we made Scalini's eggplant parm!   There have been a ton of babies born after eating this recipe.  We made it at home, but copied the recipe exactly.  It was INSANE...seriously, we were in awe of how good it was!  I will warn you though, it is NOT easy to make.  It took me, Ben, my Mom and my Dad several hours to make it.  It was a team effort for real.  But, if you've got the time, make this one night.  You won't be disappointed!  Here's a pic of me before completely devouring it.  Even though it didn't put me into labor, it was worth the effort!!

YUMMMMM!

Hope you are all having a great week!  We are just waiting around for our little boy to make his grand entrance...come on BENNETT!

Love to all!
