Bump Watch

Kate called this evening.

She and Baby Gizmo are both doing well. She's gained 3 pounds in the last month. The ultrasound a couple of weeks ago looked very good; things are going along just as they should.

The big question on everyone's mind remains is it Gizmo or Gizmo. Kate held her ground--much to the disappoint of James, our baby daddy--and did not find out the sex of the baby. I would have liked to know too, but the delayed satisfaction is character building.

Kate says getting to be surprised when the baby is born is her reward for the whole deal.

Spoken like a woman who has yet to birth a baby. She and James will find out soon enough that there are plenty of surprises to go around with the entire process of childbirth and parenting. To be fair, they have pretty realistic ideas about the whole thing.

On the other watch in progress--Butt Watch--Kevin is hanging in there. Not feeling great, not completely down and out though. And he's a sport about living on juice and applesauce.

(I, on the other hand, am plotting a secret run tomorrow for a BigMac...)

John called again for a progress report. That perked Kev up considerably and they had a good conversation. I appreciate John far more than he knows!

Another 17 hours or so until the doctor appointment. I think he's going to make it.
