38w 4d
When Ben and I went on our honeymoon a few years ago, we stopped in Atlanta first. While we were there, we ate at Scalini's, an Italian restaurant. It was really good, but that's not why I mention it now. They had pictures of babies covering one area of the restaurant. Apparently they have a magical eggplant parm that will induce labor! The babies on the wall were all "Eggplant Babies"- babies whose labor came on within 48 hours of mom eating the eggplant.
Well, being super close to the end now, Ben and I wanted to give their eggplant a try; however, driving to Atlanta when I could possibly go into labor at any point, didn't seem like a great idea. We looked up the restaurant, and it turns out, they have the recipe posted! http://www.scalinis.com/Bambino.htm So last night, Ben and I set out to 'induce' labor with an eggplant!
It was actually a rather time consuming recipe, and I'm not a fan of eggplant, but we had fun making it! Now we're just waiting to see if their magic will work for us! (I probably should have waited a few more days..) The recipe was delicious (other than the eggplant part). If their legend is going to work, I should be in labor by tomorrow night around 9. My fingers are crossed!! So far today, I've had tons of contractions, but nothing regular or time-able, so not really anything new.
