Thanks. Don't worry about the baby being born, on schedule or not. There is not much science to due dates. In fact, they are little more than estimates. Just roll with the punches, for now. As to information about Calvin Robinson, maybe you will get lucky.

in 1968, we were expecting our first baby, much like you are now. My wife's father was a GP in the small town of West Frankfort, Ill, a town of about 8000 back then, in thecoal-mining area of Southern Illinois. We drove down to visit with them, about a month or two before the birth. He had delivered hundreds, if not thousands, of babies at that point, a lot right in their house where he had a subsidiary office.

So, I asked him what he thought the baby was going to be. Back then, there was no ultra-sound exams, etc, to show the sex. He listens carefully with his stethoscope, and with a big smile, says it a boy.

Our oldest daughter will be 50 this year. So much for medical opinion about matters related to babies and birth!

Regards, Mike
