Week 22

It's hard to believe i am already 22 weeks . Doesn't it feel like just yesterday that i broke the news ?

Now that I officially look pregnant and people I don't know aren't afraid to mention it, I'm getting the"So how far along are you ?" question all the time . Unfortunately, I still don't know what the proper answer is . Depending on my mood , my responses vary :

1. Twenty two weeks ( generally only to women who've had children )
2. Five months ( since , based on the view that a pregnancy is 9 months , that would be 2 weeks past the halfway )
3. Six monthx ( because some books count every month as having 4 weeks and therefore a pregnancy is 10 months )
4. "I'm due the first if August " (that's usually for not very nice people; I love watching their foreheads wrinkle as they do the mental math while trying really hard to look like they're not doing the mental math .)
