How Long is Nine Months?

As I was laying in bed last night, exhausted, but not able to go to sleep - I started thinking of just how long I've been pregnant. I started thinking of the fun events that have happened, the holidays that have passed, and even some of the sad things that have gone on. I thought I'd share with you just how long nine months is. From beginning to end, here is everything Leah has experienced with us:

At our friends wedding, clueless as to what was going on in my stomach. Leah was about 2 weeks old. I was about 30lbs lighter, and her dad was about 40lbs heavier.

Halloween 2010. We carved pumpkins the night after we took the test.

Thanksgiving 2010. About 7 weeks. I threw up Thanksgiving dinner at 2am.

Throwing a party for my pregnant sister and baby Ali. 9.5 weeks.

                                    

                                                 Christmas 2010. Leah was almost 13 weeks.

New Years 2011! She was 14 weeks, and the two of us stayed up way.too.late.

Her cousin baby Ali was welcomed into the world. 21 weeks.

Her dad started and finished a 12 week transformation. She celebrated weeks 14-26.

I turned another year older. 26 weeks.

 

We ushered in opening weekend for baseball - 26 weeks.

Easter 2011. We took maternity pictures. 30 weeks.

Leah's room was officially complete at 31 weeks.

We celebrated our first wedding anniversary with a 32 week old Leah.

Sweet Buddie went to be with Jesus when Leah was 36 weeks. I can't wait to introduce her to Bella!

 

Nine months is a long time. A lot of really good things have happened while Leah has been growing herself. But with only three weeks left, I am so very excited with the thought that we won't experience much more without her in our arms!
