Longest Pregnancy Ever!!!!



Seriously this has been the longest pregancy ever, for me at least! I am now beyond 650+ days into our adoption journey. This idea got me to thinking, is it really the longest pregnancy? So here is what goofy me found out: The average gestation period:

Humans: 266 days (longest known is 306 days)
Chimpanzees, Apes: 260 days
Dogs: 60 days
Rabbits: 33 days
Mice: 20 days
Cows: 284 days
Whale: 517 days
Elephants: 645 days

Therefore, I am correct that I have reached beyond even the elephants painfully impressive pregancy of 645 days, making this the longest pregancy ever!!
