10 months? I don't think so...

A friend told me a while back that you are actually pregnant for 10 months. I thought no way, that can't be right and forgot about it. Yesterday I was reading a blog written by a friend of my Sisters and she too was told 10 months. So here it goes girls - it is not 10 months. Most people make the mistake of looking at the 40 weeks as 10 months, because 40 divided by 4 is 10. This would be true IF each month only had 28 days! So to make things easy, take the average number of days per month - 30.4. The 40 weeks of pregnancy is 280 days. 280 days divided by 30.4 is 9.21. So you are actually pregnant for approximately 9 months and 6 days.

Now that that is cleared up - is it ever going to be Spring or Summer?

New Beginnings!

We had our first doctor's appointment on 04/21/08. It was pretty exciting - we were able to see the baby and hear the heartbeat. It seems so much more real now! We go again on 05/19/08. We are still debating on finding out the gender of the baby - Chad doesn't want to and I can't wait that long! So I guess we will probably be finding out soon!
