32 weeks today and still confused πŸ˜‚

So, we were raised knowing that a woman is pregnant for 9 months. Since being pregnant I understand that it is actually 40 weeks. 
Can't seem to grasp my mind around the fact that I am 8 months today,  but still have 2 months to go! πŸ˜– 
I understand the terminology and reasoning, but heck! Why not just raise us saying 40 weeks ( or even 10 months) so we aren't surprised??
Trying to switch up my mindset now is basically causing smoke to come out of my ears.
