Best moment this week: Eating Pho with John and my mom and watching John and his cousins play/swim in the rain.
Miss anything? I am content right now.
Food cravings: Pasta was a favorite this week.
Anything making you queasy or sick: No

Looking forward to: Labor, birthing and meeting our baby!

Showing? Yes

Labor signs: As of today, I am having contractions that are very uncomfortable. 

Belly button in or out? Almost flat.

Baby’s fruit size: Let's just call her newborn size now. 

Yesterday, January 3rd, we had a non-stress test and I had a membrane sweep to try to get things moving along. 

I was 2 cm, 70 percent effaced and -1 station.

The sweep was uncomfortable yet manageable.
