Don't feel silly...I had four children and it always confused me! lol Okay, here is a chart to answer that question.... The timeline is like this: Month 1 = Weeks 1-4, Month 2 = Weeks 5-8, Month 3 = Weeks 9-13, Month 4 = Weeks 14-17, Month 5 = Weeks 18-21, Month 6 = Weeks 22-26, Month 7 = Weeks 27-30, Month 8 = Weeks 31-35, Month 9 = Weeks 36-40. This is the way the doctor calculates it as well. So, if you are 25 weeks, then you are six and a half months along. When people asked me, I just told them how many weeks I was, so it wasn't as confusing to try and explain. ;) Hope this helps! Have a good day! BTW, how are you doing? Feeling okay? Keep us posted! God bless, Tracey

My belly is not so big today it seems to fluctuate..It is definately bigger though a bit like a shelf just below my navel lol. Nikki just wait it gets heavier lol. Oh man that last month is the worst isn't it Tracey?

[> [> [> Subject: lol, Luka! Author: Tracey [Edit] Date Posted: 07/26/06 7:52am Luka~ LOL! Yeah, besides the big belly in the last month, the waiting can feel like an eternity as well!!! I always said I wished God made pregnancy up to 8 months because that last month is just too complicated! lol The big belly, shortness of breath, back aches, peeing every 5 minutes, etc. But the wonderful news is that it's all for a good cause and a great reward at the end! ;) Have a good day! Love, Tracey

[> [> [> [> Subject: Re: lol, Luka! Author: luka [Edit] Date Posted: 07/26/06 3:06pm Oh yeah i forgot about the shortness of breath part, thats the worst. I allways end up in this weird head space where i think the baby is never going to come out at about 8 and a half/ 9 months lol.

[> Subject: thank you... Author: nikki [Edit] Date Posted: 07/25/06 5:33pm thank you so much. that really does help. i was only about two weeks off, so, it wasn't that bad. and i am doing awesome. tired of waiting and kinda bored with this whole pregancy thing. but that's just how it goes, right? still don't know if we're having a girl or a boy though. the only thing i'm not thrilled with is that my back hurts and it keeps me up at night sometimes. but it's always been that way. anyway. thanks for the help. and i'll try to keep everyone updated as much as i can.

[> [> Subject: Re: thank you... Author: Tracey [Edit] Date Posted: 07/26/06 5:25am Hey Nikki~ Glad to hear you're doing well! As far as the back aches and pains, I understand all too well. Are you sleeping on your side with a pillow between your knees and things? This made a world of difference with my back aches during sleeping. Please continue to come back and keep us posted! We LOVE hearing updates! God bless, Tracey
