I had a dizzying conversation with Mommy Inc. regarding the whole “I’m 6 weeks pregnant” thing. Of course; I being the thick headed goon that I am; I insisted that my interpretation was right and she had no idea what she was talking about. What’s sad is that this being our fourth pregnancy we should have this figured out by now. I think we’re both still a little confused. Okay, maybe it’s just me.
Soooo. Today Mommy Inc. is six weeks pregnant but that is a complete and utter conspiracy by doctor’s everywhere because when you are 1 week or even 2 weeks pregnant you’re not actually pregnant. What?!? So you’re not really pregnant until you’re two weeks pregnant? Okay, remind me to explain to my daughter that when counting at school you can just skip numbers one and two. Or that whereever my next job is my employer should pay me for the two weeks preceding my start date.
But it get’s worse. Let’s just accept that you’re six weeks pregnant. Let’s say you decide to look up on the internet or in a book what exactly is brewing inside of you. Here we go, page 86, week six. No, no, no. You may be six weeks pregnant but hey we need to look at week seven because your first week of pregnancy is actually days 1 through 7 (again, even though you are not actually pregnant).
So, I’m pretty sure that Mommy Inc. is four weeks pregnant unless you are talking to a doctor in which case she is six weeks pregnant and if you want to look up what is going on inside she should look up week seven not week six. But then again, maybe not.
So to avoid any further confusion we’re just going to say that Mommy Inc. is pregnant and install a pop-up turkey timer.
