Holy hell; what just blew through? The toddler tantrums from I don’t know where… Oh, Hello Tuesday-After-The-Long-Holiday-Weekend. You greet us with all of your reality and glory, expecting us to jump back into the swing of life as if we didn’t just indulge in the excuses of holidays to forgo real life for three days.

By 38 weeks along, some mothers are already holding their newborn, but most are still ‘baking’ them in utero. The average pregnancy length is 41 weeks and 1 day with many reaching 42 weeks.
