If last week no news
was good news, this week we can even confirm that officially. The
gynecologist who checked your mother at the beginning of this week
found that everything was fine - and we guess that that primarily
means you.
Actually, everything
seems to be going smoothly except the way we count the time that's
elapsed since you were conceived. Not that that probably concerns
you much, but we're always a bit confused about how the nine months
of a pregnancy (you probably didn't even know it was nine months,
nor exactly what a day is, let alone a week) are calculated. You
see, a month isn't exactly four weeks - usually it's about half
a week longer than that - so that a pregnancy of nine months is
40 weeks long when you're counting weeks. Does that confuse you?
It probably doesn't even concern you, but we're always a bit unclear
about this. Counting by weeks, however, as of this week we're now
two thirds along the way toward D-day, and that means that your
mother has entered the final trimester of your mutual pregnancy.
Congratulations.
