As mentioned before, the last few days have seemed to drag on forever... and there is nothing I can do to make it go faster... The nursery is as done as it can be right now (although I have decided to change the paint color, but after Hailey comes)...and unlike my sister, I have no desire to bake away the evenings, I really wish I did though.... delish...
When you think about it, 9 months is a LONG time, and technically women are pregnant for 10 months. For nearly an entire year your body is constantly working, changing, providing for this tiny person that you harbor from the outside world, but really you don't even know all in the name of procreation. Don't get wrong, I have actually enjoyed being pregnant and treasure the special time that I have had with this tiny person who has not only filled my body but my life to the fullest. BUT.... my bladder, spine and uterus are calling for an eviction notice to be posted.
Bringing me to the photo... I was ASTONISHED to find out that African elephants have a gestational period ranging from 660-760 days.... quick math.... that's almost 2 FULL YEARS! CAN YOU IMAGINE! I mean, you're already an ELEPHANT and now you have to lug around BABY WEIGHT through the Savannah? for 2 YEARS!!! I think I'll count my blessings that I am not, no matter how much I feel like one, an African elephant.
