For those of you out there who have always heard that pregnancy lasts 9 months, well... I guess technically it does, because by the time you miss a period, you're already considered 1 month along. But pregnancy is actually counted as 40 weeks, closer to 10 months total. As of today, I am 36 weeks, or about 9 months pregnant, and that's a freaky thing to say!!! It SO makes you think she could come at any moment! Full-term is anything between 37-41 weeks, so if we had her now, she would not be premature, she'd just be a week pre-term, and she'd be fine. No worries people, I'm pretty sure she'll be staying put for a little while longer. But, we've got the bag packed and are ready to go whenever she is...

You look amazing for being so close to your due date. I can't wait to see pictures of the new addition!!
Kelsey will be so relieved to see your packed bag. Nine months down...how long to go? Only Baby Wadey knows!
My dad emailed this to me, and I thought I would post it. I guess my main point is that the math is more complex than a simple "9 months"... but here ya go!
"I will comment on a previous blog by questioning your math. One year is 52 weeks, three months is 13 weeks, six months is 26 weeks, nine months is 39 weeks. Only one month is actually 28 days and 2008 is leap year, so that goes to zero. 31 days is 4.42 weeks. 30 days is 4.28 weeks. Anyways you get the picture."
