31 weeks

Sorry this is a little late! I'm actually 31 weeks, 3 days today. Everything is pretty much the same, including my back issues. I've been struggling with back pain this week and have seen my chiropractor several times. She says that since I am so small and am carrying all my newly gained weight only in my belly, that it's putting quite a strain on my lower back. Her adjustments as well as massage therapy help a lot. I have trouble sitting for any length of time, though, which makes work difficult. Other than that, everything is great! I have an OB appointment Monday and my first shower is on Tuesday, hosted by my office. I'm excited! My birthday is Wednesday, and I'm having a celebration dinner with lots of friends and family on Thursday, so this will be quite a week! I'll be sure to update with lots of pics.

Yesterday, I had the nicest thing happen. I went to get myself and Mr. C. a milkshake at the Dairy Bar down the street. It's the kind of place where you park and walk up to a window to order. I parked right by the window and when I got my two shakes, a man behind me in line walked over to my car and opened the door for me. It was such a nice gesture by a total stranger and made me feel so good!

Here I am at 31 weeks:
