41 Weeks and 5 Days

...is how long I was pregnant with Gabe, and is how old Gabe is today.

And even though:

- it was much easier to carry him around in my belly than it is to carry him around in my arms (those kangaroos really have a great thing going),

- I got a lot more sleep when I was pregnant than I have since he arrived,

- the most annoying thing he did in utero was press on my bladder (oh yeah, and refuse to come out near his due date) and now he's discovered whining as a means to an end,

I would much much much rather have him ex-utero than in.
