How much does Emily Procter love being pregnant?

“I started crying the other day just thinking that the baby is going to leave me soon!” says Procter about her first child — she’s keeping the sex a secret — with her boyfriend, musician Paul Bryan.

“You have this relationship with this person in your belly and it’s really amazing.”

Procter, 41, is enjoying finally feeling her baby move.

“It’s really fun at night, because I can see the baby kicking,” says Procter, who is the new face for Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula stretch mark products.

“I can feel the knee or the foot. The baby is starting to get heavy, and it’s a really incredible feeling. I’m so grateful I get to experience this.”

She may be only a “few more weeks” away from giving birth, but that’s not stopping Vera Farmiga from stepping out in extremely high heels at the Grey Goose Entertainment’s Iconoclasts party Tuesday at LAVO in N.Y.C.

“You have to balance it out,” the fashionable actress, 37, tells PEOPLE.

Farmiga, however, doesn’t know if her future includes a daughter to lend shoes to.

“We don’t know what we’re having yet. I just want to have a healthy baby,” she explains.

Although she and husband Renn Hawkey both come from large families consisting of “seven kids each,” don’t expect them to follow suit.

“The world is [too] overpopulated to go that route and we met 10 years too late for that,” she laughs.

Tips to Making School Lunch Weelicious from Catherine McCord

Gabriel Goldberg

Coming up with new and exciting school lunch ideas can be stressful, especially when you’re already juggling your family’s busy schedule. That’s why we decided to tap Weelicious creator Catherine McCord for her top tips and tricks to create lunches that no kid would think of trading at the lunch table. Check them out:

Liven things up. If your kid’s lunch has visual appeal, better the chances his lunch box will come home empty. Remember, we don’t only eat with our mouths, but also with our eyes. If food is colorful, bright and exciting, it becomes much more enticing for little ones. Fruits and veggies are a great place to start adding the fun.

Try new shapes. Tired of fixing the same old white bread PB&J everyday? Before that sandwich goes in the lunch box, try putting it in a panini press or using a cookie cutter to cut it into a cool shape. Use a melon baller to treat your kid to bite-size balls of fruit. By changing the shape or form of fruits, vegetables, sandwiches and other staples, it keeps the visual interest exciting and your kids engaged with their food.
