Just in case you didn’t know, 37 weeks is considered full term. That means…well, nothing. Except that Baby is now fully developed, and just packing on the ounces. Something which I don’t need. With my tendency to be “overdue”, I end up having babies in the vacinity of ten pounds. The only *small* baby I had was Cole, weighing in fifteen ounces smaller than Luke - 9lbs.10oz - at 8lbs.11oz. Brett tipped the scales at 10lbs.6oz., and Ellie, though petite now, was actually our second largest at 9lbs.13oz. I grow ‘em big!

I wouldn’t mind being “early”. Especially now that we are not dealing with lung issues and what not, a few weeks earlier than in the past might get me a bit of a smaller baby. Dr. Adam said at last week’s appointment that “historically” speaking, third babies are usually the largest. So we shouldn’t have any larger than Brett. And just an FYI, he was not a section baby due to his size! It was his position. He couldn’t descend into my pelvis because of the way he was sitting.

So today, Greg went to Tracy for the weekly men’s breakfast. He’s been going for a couple of months now, and it’s so good for him to be in fellowship with these guys. Many of them are people who treated him rather poorly at one time, but have all given their hearts to Christ in the past couple of years. It’s amazing to him to see how changed so many of them are.

While he was gone, I busied myself with more cooking. I only got the lasagnas done yesterday. I did four, but needed to drive for Greg in the afternoon. I should clarify. He could have done it, but he had his last two clients, who both live in Tracy, going to opposite destinations, plus exchanging vehicles with drivers for the weekend. It would have made for a very late evening for him and us, so we pitched in and drove the non-special needs to Tracy.

So today I worked away at some more cooking. It’s so nice to see the freezer filling up!

When he got home we cleaned some, and it seems that I should be exhausted right now, but at nearly midnight, I’m having a hard time settling down. Thus the post.

Annie is no longer with us. It was harder on Cole than I thought it would be. He didn’t seem to be too attached to her, as we’ve only had her about five months, but he really struggled yesterday. He was fine today. He’s happy to know we’ll be able to visit her, as the couple know our neighbors, and live in Nackawic. They are quite happy to have us stop by to say ‘hi’. I have to say I feel a bit guilty at how NOT sad I feel. I’m sorry that we couldn’t make it work with her, but that’s about it. We do want a dog, but it’s so hard to know what’s going to work with a young family.

Brett is going for a few nights to Greg’s parents. We’ll drop him off after church tomorrow, and also stay for supper. Nice to know I don’t have to feed anyone tomorrow after all the cooking today. I need to get some more meat either cooked or frozen. I intend to make some more casseroles, but time and energy will tell. I had an unbelievable amount of energy today, and though I did have some back and hip acheyness, for the most part it was an extremely productive day, with not many symptoms making it hard to work.

Dr. Adam will be doing some “encouraging” at my next appointment, so there are a couple more bigger jobs to get done then I can relax. I don’t anticipate one appointment of stretching at just over 37 weeks will make anything happen, but I need to be prepared just in case. My bag is packed. Now it’s really just wait and see. And hopefully rest up.

And on that note, I suppose I should try to get some rest. I don’t like just laying awake because I toss, or roll, so much at this point that I’m afraid I just keep disturbing my beloved. He’s a pretty sound sleeper, and usually has no recollection of my restlessness, but I still don’t like to take the chance that I might be disturbing him.

Goodnight.
