Confusing Numbers

It's a natural questions when you see a lady that is obviously pregnant...How far along are you? Most people are referring to the "out of 9 months- how far along are you" question?


I always hesitate before answering but here lately I have just been saying I'm 6 months along. Well today I am officially 3 months from my due date (it's December 16th and also a Friday). So based on most people's timeline I'm 6 months along. But a human pregnancy is actually 40 weeks long. By a lot of people's judge of time that is 10 months. So even though I love numbers and was even a math teacher for 2 years of my existence, I don't really like answering the "how far along are you" question because frankly, the numbers just don't add up. So today, I am 6 months or 27 weeks. Take that for what it's worth.


Side note- hubby and I started work this week. He has started an optometry practice in southwest Wichita. It's been a lot of fun working together. The learning curve is steep, I'm afraid, but we're doing it together. I am his secretary and I even heard him refer to me as his "office manager". Sounded pretty fancy for what I do. In reality I think he just wanted whoever was talking to him on the phone to talk to me instead, but I'll take the title. In case you were wondering, I'm pretty sure the pay is the same regardless of my title. :) haha


Hope you all are enjoying the cooler weather. I know I am welcoming it with open arms...this year. 


Happy birthday today to my BFF :) Riley! 
Also, happy anniversary to my parents-in-law!
