"Whoa, You're gettin' BIG!"

Of course my coworker told me that she meant "cute big" when the only response I could come up with was a quiet, "Thanks." I should have said something like, "Yeah well I made brain today! What have you done?" Or "Yeah the doctor said there's twins in there, and I'm ready to go any minute. So stay outta my way!"

On the up side of things is my belly button, my belly, my appetite, and my sleep. My belly button has slowly been turning its way up and out, peeking through my shirts. My belly continues to stay high and in the way of everything. I made sure to paint my toes and shave my legs this week- seeing as how I may not get another opportunity! Of course I want to eat everything in sight. And my former Gung-ho Gym attitude has sharply turned to kick my feet up and put my head down and sleep as much as possible.

That should all be just fine now that school is out! Hoorah! But I thought this cartoon depicted my 29 weeks of pregnancy very well.

Women ARE Perfect- Almost

So my very smart husband knows more than I could ever hope to know. It's great though- cuz he's a good teacher. He recently taught me that 28 is a "perfect number." Among other things, all the factors of 28 add up to equal 28. That is 1,2,4,7,14. They are the only factors of 28 and they all add up to 28. So cool. Apparently there are very few numbers like that.
Any way- so a woman's "monthly" cycle is really based on 28 days right? Just like the phases of the moon. Our cycle is "perfect." I'm already closer to perfection than I thought!
