38 weeks

Some statistics for the last 38 weeks: Mom has gained close to 40 pounds. Dad was up a few pounds initially (see the week 19 entry), but is now net negative--probably because Mom eats all of the food off of his plate. Mom's waist is now exactly 10 inches larger than Dad's (and it was "definitely" smaller than his before I entered the picture--at least that's what she says). Thankfully, for Mom's mental well-being, she still weighs less than Dad--although not by a lot.
