How Far Along: 31 Weeks…9 left to go, single digits!
Baby Size: Head of lettuce…17in. and almost 3.3 lbs.
Gender: My little man!
Maternity Clothes: Mostly maternity, occasionally some things that are not.
Sleep: Good and bad…I will sleep really hard and not move for a couple hours and then I wake up stiff and needing to switch sides. The main problem is that when I go to roll over onto the other side I get ridiculously bad ligament pains and back pains and have a hard time falling back to sleep. When I am asleep it is good though.
Best moment this week: The shower at Nick's office was incredible! We are so blessed to have so many people who care about us and Mason!
Movement: He still loves to wiggle a lot! It is more wiggling and rolling that kicking now.
Food Cravings: Fruit, and oranges in particular.
What I miss: My back not hurting, I have never really had backaches, but they are in full swing now. Other than that I have loved being pregnant!
What I am looking forward to: My best friend is throwing us a "friend shower" this coming weekend that we are excited about. Plus, we are making real progress in the nursery!
Milestones: He is starting to fatten up!
Pregnancy Symptoms: Some seriously painful ligament pains and backache
Stretch Marks: Not yet, but we are using Palmer’s Tummy Butter more frequently then before and may actually have to buy another one.
Belly Button: It is flat across, not really in or out.
As I mentioned the shower that Nick's office gave us was amazing and here are a few pictures...

| Scott found the perfect potty! It actually says GOAL when you use it! |

| Super cute "cake" that Nick's team lead got. Each little slice had something in it! |

| It was a Dynamo themed shower, in case you can't tell! They really went all out, and made it special! |
ok, that potty is pretty funny! When I roll over at night I lay on my back for a few seconds and I make sure I don't stretch. Then, I use my arms more to roll over than my tummy muscles and that seems to make it a bit less painful. Also, this may sound odd but it really helps with back pain. I get down on my hands and knees and sometimes I put the front half of my body in a comfy chair or ottoman...so your belly is below you. Then Jonathan massages my back for me while I'm still in that position. When I first heard of doing back rubs that way I didn't think it would make that much of a difference but it really did for me.
