7 months!


Here we are at 7 months! We are 11 weeks away from this baby arriving! I know what you are thinking. If there are 11 weeks left then how can you be 7 months? I wondered the same thing. Apparently there are an average of 4.3 weeks in a month. I am told that is why pregnant women always go by weeks instead of months. Because if you count only 4 weeks in a month, then I am 7 months (I'm 29 weeks on Friday). If you count 4.3 weeks in a month then I am more like 6 and 3/4 months. You are pregnant for 40 weeks which is technically over 9 months no matter how you do the math. They don't tell you this fact until AFTER it's too late. Bottom line: I have been battling heart burn, acid reflux and back pain for a while now. I pee every 30 to 45 minutes, I have gained weight, I can't seem to bend over gracefully anymore and now I am getting these weird leg cramps. If you try to tell me that you think I am not really 7 months yet, I may slap you. So here is my 7 month shot!!! Oh yeah. I cut my hair. I don't recommend doing that while you are pregnant. Wait until the hormones subside. I cut 4 inches off and cried when I couldn't get my hair in hot curlers as easily as before. I'm better now that I am getting used to it and can style it again. Brad thinks my new bangs are cute. So that helps. :)

HILARIOUS! I battled all the exact same things. I had the worst leg and TOE cramps! I cut and colored my hair really dark and was really really upset afterwards. It's crazy. I also had the worst acid reflux & heartburn, backpain...etc. Hormones are a bi$@& !!!
