Happy birthday to me! Weekend of 35 things

Today I am 35 years old. I am now officially geriatric – at least in terms of my pregnancy. (You would not believe how much pressure the perinatology department put on me to have all the extra genetic testing done because I’d be geriatric when I gave birth…I mean, if I had been due yesterday, I would’ve been fine; but 5.5 weeks from now? Clearly my genetic material is going down a long, steep hill between now & then. Also, I hate everything about every interaction I’ve had with the perinatology department at my hospital, but that’s a post for another time never.)

So – since I am now 35 years old, ~35 weeks pregnant, and have ~35 days left until my due date – I declare this the weekend of 35 things. If I were not extremely pregnant, I would do something athletic, like run a bunch of miles (maybe even 35!) or bike 35 miles (great suggestion, John, but, uh…no).

So, I am going to do 35 thing in the next 3 days.
