9 Months Today!

Wow, you'd think that being 9 months pregnant would mean that a baby should be here. Nopes. 2 1/2 weeks more to go! And, that's even going to be an early delivery (by 10 days). The whole "9 months" thing is a myth. I guess it just sounds prettier than "10 months." It's a cruel little joke on us new mommies :)

Either way, it is pretty cool to say that I'm finally 9 months pregnant...

Congrats on this MAJOR milestone! It's so much easier to track pregnancy based on lunar months (every 4 weeks = 1 month; 40 weeks = full term; 40 weeks = 10 months) rather than the # of days in an actual month (which the other "non-pregnant" people consider 9 months as full term). I'm VERY MUCH a lunar month tracker. It just SOUNDS better to me.

It's hard to believe I'm 5 months this week (20 wks!!!) YIKES!

I'm sooooo proud of how you handled your pregnancy- you've been a trooper with a good attitude! You are gonna be a wonderful mom- I'm not just saying that. I know you--very well--20 years of really knowing you! Isn't that cool...
