So I'm actually 6 months pregnant. Of course, I get really confused with this whole month numbering system...because pregnancy is 40 weeks--and that is really more like 10 months. Whoever started that 9 month rumor didn't know what they were talking about. or maybe they were counting from when you "conceived" rather than the date when they actually turn on "the clock"--cause those aren't the same dates either. Or maybe it's like 9 FULL months...not "you have the baby when you're 9 months". Very confusing. Luckily--it doesn't really matter EXACTLY how far along I am. I am 24 weeks--and when you divide that by 4 weeks--that makes 6! 6 months means another belly picture--and since I can now take these with my phone, I can present month 6 picture to you today. Oh--and by the way, if you skipped my last post because it looked boring and the picture was uninteresting, you're missing some surprise pics at the bottom of the post. I didn't want them showing up on people's Google Reader summary screens, but if you actually read this blog, you are welcome to view them.
We have been taking a monthly picture in the same clothes since 2 mths, and will put them all together for a collage when we're all through this. I saw the idea on Pinterest...where else? I'm also adding the first two - because they were passed on to me. Hopefully I'll be able to put all of them on here at some point together--makes for a better slide show :-)
6 months
3 months
2 months
After seeing these three together, I am going to go ahead and make the call that I like the ones from Adam's phone more. I will retake the 6 month tonight and that way they'll all be consistant.
Ps. Mylan's Turkey Noodle Soup is really good.
Alison did the same math fail when it comes to pregnancy "months". You're assuming that a month is four weeks (28 days). It's not. 365/12 = 30.41666667.
ReplyDeleteSo, 30.41666667 * 9 = 273.75 days
273.75 days / 7 days = 39.1 weeks
And more importantly:
Delete40 weeks * 7 days/week = 280 days
280 days / 30.417 days/month = 9.2 months
Also, remember that they're counting from the start of the last cycle, which was technically 2 weeks before you even got pregnant. :-)
