send you one of those picture announcements
as soon as they are ready. It probably
won't be a very big baby, since I
seem to be sitting on most of the weight
I have gained. I don't even look much
like I've swallowed a watermelon seed,
more like a barrel with legs. I'm about
7 or eight pounds overweight, but I
lost a pound, which is a good trick at
the 9th month. The doctor is cheering me
on to similar great achievement. Now
that the rains have finally stopped I
am able to get more exercise, & I am
determined to get rid of that plump, pale
winter hibernation look I've had since
Christmas.

Please talk over coming up together
with mother. I know that business can
be pressing, but maybe you two could
fly up for a weekend.

Love,
Marcia
