NewBaby.com is sending out flip camera's to more Mom's to VLOG with

The best part of my day is connecting with other Mom's and seeing what they are up to online. This morning ACowboysWife inspired me to have an egg/bacon/toast breakfast from her Wooden Spoon photos. Warning! Never look at photos of food when you are hungry... fortunately, I had the required ingredients and before you knew it, we were eating that for breakfast. YUM.

NewBaby.com's promotion to give away Flip Video Camera's to a limited number of mom bloggers is also an awesome part of my day as I have shared some of the awesome blogs I have seen with them to review and contact. Anyone can contribute to NewBaby.com and there are a lot of mom bloggers there who have a big following along with adding content to NewBaby.com.

It's a great way to build traffic to your site!

Is it true that pregnancy really lasts 10 months?

(When my OB told me it's not uncommon for pregnancies to last 10 months, is this what he meant?) From SheKnows.com

According to most dating methods, pregnancy lasts approximately 280 days. Lunar months are considered to be roughly 28 days (4 weeks) — and 280 divided by 28 breaks into 10 approximate lunar months.

If you really want to get technical: A sidereal month is 27.32 days, a synodic month is 29.53 days, and an anomalistic month is 27.55 days. See why they decided to round?

Even with “normal” counting methods (”30 days hath September” and all that), every month would need to have 31.111 days for pregnancy to end when precisely 9 months have been completed. That means women usually go into the 10th month — but don’t complete it — during the course of your average, everyday, garden-variety pregnancy.

And if you really want to muddy the waters… If you’re basing your due date on a 28-day menstrual cycle, 14 of those days cover the time from your last period up to conception — so you’re not actually not pregnant at all. That brings the day count of actual gestation down to 266 days.
