11 days (or so...)

Hopefully less than 11. I am so impatient! I feel like this time it went by SO much faster, but I'm still anxious to just have him here and play with him. I finished up my externship on Friday so I am DONE with school until the 12th of January. Woohooo!

The due date is 11 days away as of today... Here's a picture of my big ol belly at the park this Sunday. And a super cute one of Jason and Ben.

Also, the day after Thanksgiving I intend to make Scalini's (supposedly) labor inducing eggplant parmesan. We'll see how that goes!

My parents are getting here tomorrow, so that's exciting. They'll be here for Thanksgiving, and of course the baby, and then they are staying for Ben's b-day (on the 17th) and Christmas. And my mom is staying all the way till Amelia's first birthday on the 25th of January. Ben is beyond excited to see them... I am too!

36 weeks!

This week we had the 36 week checkup with the midwives! Today I'm 36 weeks, so I can have this little dude anytime now. I'm thinking November 29th sounds good. That's my bet. I wouldn't mind if he showed up before Thanksgiving though.

Here I am looking gigantically huge....

Change has come to America...

(Obama rally in Portland in March)


Finally.
I am so proud of our country tonight!
I still can't believe that anyone even voted for McCain... but I am so happy that the vote was overwhelmingly Obama. It's beyond awesome.

Finished!

I decided to go with brown sleeves. And I made a little hat to go with it. I made it to fit him right away... so I think this will be his first outfit. Maybe. That's another awesome thing about having him at home, I can be indecisive because we'll have all his clothes there :)

Kid Wolverine.

Ben was Wolverine for Halloween. He has been getting pumped up for trick-or-treat for weeks now, and decided his name was no longer Ben, it was Kid Wolverine. He even told Jake that he was growing the blades in his stomach, and when he grew up they'd come out of his hands just like real wolverine. If I made the mistake of referring to him as Ben, he'd say "What did you call me? That's not my real name. My real name is Kid Wolverine."

Here he is the night of Halloween before he went out...



I guess it only lasted till Halloween though, because this morning he said his name isn't Kid Wolverine anymore, it's Hot Lava Man.

Ben and Amelia...



She was a cute little fat panda. She passed out halfway through trick or treating though. She couldn't hang... maybe next year.

Oh and here's the belly. I was going to dress up but I was too lazy.
