Three day weekend

It's Memorial Day weekend, and I'm on call! :( I was suppose to be on call July 4th, but I switched to Memorial Day b/c my hope is to have a baby by then. We'll see. I will probably still be pregnant on July 12. (July 11 is my due date.) We have been very busy at the Sims' household. We had Mother's Day, which was nice. We went to Magnet Cove and saw my Mom, Patrick's Granny, and my Grandma. I had my first swelling of the feet. It was weird. Never had that with Syd. I got two new pearls on my necklace and some great Yellowbox sandals.

The next weekend we took a small family vacation. That was our only chance to take Sydnee anywhere before the baby is born. We went to Branson. Silver Dollar City was fun for Sydnee. She is tall enough (45 inches!) to ride all but three of the rides. She is fearless and loved all of them. We ate at Lamberts in Ozark, MO. If you haven't been, you need to go. Lot's of great country cookin' and they throw rolls at you! YUM! Sydnee remembered that we went there when she was 2yrs old, so we promised we would go back. She has a memory like an elephant! We stayed at Welk Resort which has an indoor pool/water slide. It was nice to be able to swim when it was raining. Sydnee went down the slide many, many times. I hope she had fun. It was fun to watch her and Patrick do things. I was the official picture taker, since I couldn't ride rides.
On Monday, May 18, Sydnee had a graduation picnic for Montessori. She was so proud to get her certificate. She said, "Mom, now I can go to Kindergarten." I think she wanted to go to Kindergarten on Tuesday! I was a happy, but sad moment for me. My baby girl is growing up.

Now we are preparing for our new baby girl. We are cleaning up and cleaning out. Washing clothes, dusting off toys and carseats. It won't be long. less than 7 weeks!
