Well, I saw my doctor yesterday, and everything is fine & dandy. Aaron is the normal size for a 35-week-old fetus – so I didn’t or don’t have to get an ultrasound. She says he’s about 6 lbs right now and her "guesstimate" is now about 8½ – 9½ pounds when he is born. (4½ weeks!)She told K & I yesterday what signs to be aware of to call her and if I should go into labor anytime between now + Oct 12, then I’m far enough along to just let the baby be born. A couple of days ago Kevin made plans to go to the "Bluehill Fair" with his father, brother, and Aunt Kathy: to see a concert (Waylon Jennings) and I had no interest in going, so I had Bambi over for the night, and then on Monday afternoon I drove her home, and Mom + I visited for a while, and after her husband got home we had a B-B-Q. It was an okay visit – Mom & Dickie were trying to sell K & I a "pop-up" camper, so she was really nice to me – but guess what, Kevin + I decided we didn’t want the camper, so she was nice for nothing! I almost started to fall into her trap again – she has the "poor pitiful me" syndrome, AND I HAVE TO FIND THE STRENGTH WITHIN ME TO RESIST FEELING SORRY FOR HER. SHE’S GOT A LOT OF TROUBLE ON HER SHOULDERS – BUT SHE’S BROUGHT MOST OF IT ON HERSELF.
