35 weeks!

Thursday was the 35 week mark--holy cow I can't believe it. Our dear Sydney arrived at 35 weeks 5 days...so you can say I might be a bit over-prepared for a woman who should have 5 weeks left. I got my hospital bag packed as much as I can--I need to wash another pair of lounge pants and a shirt for myself and then I should be good to go! The baby's bag is also packed, all I need is a baby girl coming home outfit and then he/she is set too! I have a list of everything we need to grab as we're heading out the door. Now if only the little peanut can hang on until Aunt Bailey gets back from Virginia and my friend Marilyn gets back from all of her spring break adventures--we should be set! (They are the ones that will watch Sydney when the time comes!)

Here's my 35 week belly picture...I have had at least 4 people comment this past week about how I have "dropped." I was shocked that so many had mentioned it--I don't notice it but then again my belly has been in my way for the last 5 months or so. ;) See for yourself! All I see is that I am H.U.G.E. :)
And how can I make a blog post without something to say about Sydney? ;) Her Uncle Michael brought down a giant caterpillar (when he came to ride with Joe and Dad to Iowa last weekend) and she just discovered it last night. The picture doesn't do the size of the caterpillar justice, but she loves it!
