I will be 9.25 months pregnant by Christmas day, so I'll be doing a lot of ass sitting.

Hopefully, baby won't come early and I will be home and not in the hospital. Family will be coming over and we'll be cooking (what else?) seafood gumbo.

Oh thats great the hatch came on thru for you Id like to add not trying to be bossy but just a little helpful you might ought to get another thermometer and check against the one you have as it may be off a little usually a later hatch is due to a slightly lower temp not enough to do damage per say but just to linger a little longer than normal.

No, that's precisely what happened (thought I explained it earlier, but maybe I didn't). When the cold snap came through last week, them temps dropped to 96 or so a few times. My husband said they were all dead. I said they just needed more time. Major household dispute.

Oh ok I either missed that one or it simply did'nt stick in the ol brain cell there tabithatoo well anyhow great your hatch came thru its little set back then all's well and good then

9.25 mths pregnant at Christmas that's alittle bit over the time limit huh?

Correct me if im wrong I know every one says nine months but isnt technically 10 months?

ok research it and this is what I came up with.. I know nothing better to do, im bored.

A 10 Month Pregnancy?
Is a pregnancy nine months or ten months long? This is a popular pregnancy debate with many women across message boards and in pregnancy communities today. Most people know that a pregnancy consists of the first, second and third trimester. The definition of a trimester is “A period or term of three months”. If this is the case, why do so many people consider themselves pregnant for ten months? The answer is simple, even if not actually correct. Pregnancies are considered full term at 40 weeks, and many women count four weeks as a month while they are pregnant, making the result a ten month pregnancy. On average there are actually 4.33 weeks in a month, however that a third of a week tends to get lost in the pregnancy shuffle for much of us.

Many women also find it easier, when asked how pregnant they are, to answer in weeks instead of months, because pregnancy is generally a count down. “I am 24 weeks, only 16 weeks to go!” The most general deduction by a bystander would be that the woman is already six months pregnant, when in actuality, per the Gregorian calendar that most of the world lives by, she is only about five and a half months pregnant.

Women who consider themselves 10 months pregnant usually use this form of calculations:

WEEKS MONTH
1-4 1
9-12 3
17-20 5
25-28 7
33-36 9

For those that live by the Lunar calendar, this not only makes sense, but is absolutely correct. The Lunar calendar, which is the four weeks it takes for the moon to go from a new moon, to a full moon and back again, would make a pregnancy last for ten months.

For those that live by the Gregorian calendar, and counting by the date you started your last period (let’s say October 15), you would not be one full month pregnant until November 15 and the calculations generally look like this:

DATE MONTH
November 15 1
January 15 3
March 15 5
May 15 7
July 15 9

However, neither of these calculations is exactly accurate. The most common way to figure out your due date, including the way that most doctors calculate it, is to add nine months and seven days to the start date of your last menstrual period, which would actually be a week before you would have ovulated with a 28-day cycle. Therefore, if you started your LMP on October 15, you due date would be calculated as July 22, not July 15.

DATE MONTH WEEKS
November 15 1 4.33
January 15 3 13 (start of second trimester)
March 15 5 21.66
May 15 7 30.33
July 15 9 39

This would make your due date of July 22 be at 40 weeks exactly, or nine months and one week after you started your LMP. This being said, why would someone CHOOSE to be pregnant for ten months?

Another way to look at it is if you consider a pregnancy of 40 weeks to be ten months, and that a year has 52 weeks in it – which you also count four weeks as one month – wouldn’t this mean that your baby would be 13 months old before he turned a year, and you could celebrate his first birthday?

This is hilarious. And, no, it wasn't a typo. I will be 37 weeks and 3 days on Christmas day, which if you take four weeks to be an average month (which I do), you get 9.25 months. Baby girl is due on January 12th, which is exactly 40 weeks into the pregnancy, and by my math, 10 months. At any rate, by 37 weeks, they are considered full term and safe to deliver, but not only do I not want to be in the hospital for Christmas, I also don't want her to get stuck with a Christmas birthday. So, I plan on beaching myself on the couch.

And, speaking of babies, here's a couple pics of the ones that hatched yesterday.
