simple math

Thinking about all the new babies that are going to be around got me thinking about how long I've been pregnant and/or nursing for the last 5+ years. It's kind of scary when you look at the actual numbers. Since May of 2002 when I got pregnant with Emma, I have spent 54 months pregnant or nursing. That's 54 months out of 64 months total. This means that I have only had 10 months that didn't involve me sustaining the life of another human being. Those are some cray numbers and almost hard for me to believe, even though I've lived it. I have not loved every minute of those 54 months, but I am so thankful for all of them and that they have given me 3 beautiful healthy children.
