The back seems to be getting better, though I doubt I'll ever be 100% again, well, at least not until this pregnancy is over anyway (though the back pain has little to do with the pregnancy and everything to do with having aggravated an existing problem, the weight gain and extra weight in the frontal regions are not likely to help matters any, though my butt seems to be trying it's best to even things out as I now appear to be carrying an extra baby in my ass). I am no longer screaming in agony with every move, instead it's more of a painful wince and a whole lot of hobbing about. Would you like a side of sciatica with that? Sure, how 'bout smack dab in the middle of my right butt cheek. Thanks.

Potty training continues. I'm sure my potty training updates are not as thrilling to anyone other than me, I can't help talking about it because it's pretty much consumed our lives these days.

The new king bed is like a little slice of heaven right in my own bedroom. I couldn't be happier about it. The three of us fit quite nicely in it now. Alex has taken to laying horizontally between John and I making us look like a human H. John has decided to sleep about three feet away from his edge of the bed "Because I can" he says. The problem is, now I don't have any more room than I did in the queen bed. John's also having trouble with our new pillows. We bought four new king sized pillows but none of them are firm enough for him. I'm thinking of wrapping up a cinder block in a layer of batting and having him try that out.

I've finally agreed with John that we should fix up the guest room (now currently functioning as a storage room) as the new baby's nursery. Originally I'd planned to have the baby in our room for six months (like we did with Alex), then move him into Alex's room. I figured the boys could share a room for a few years, mostly so I would only have to clean up one kids room instead of two. John's always maintained that the kids should have separate rooms because we have the extra space and it seemed silly to him to make them share if they could easily have their own spaces. My argument was, they're BABIES. I'm sure they don't care about having to share yet.
For whatever reason, I've changed my mind and now we have a nursery to paint and setup. I also want to do a little bit to Alex's room to make it look a little better. Right now it's just a mish-mash of different stuff he's collected over the last two-and-a-half years. I'm thinking a trip to IKEA will fix that problem in a hurry.
