Sleep: 

Much better since I've moved to the guest room but still not great. I wake up a few times a night and it's hard to get readjusted and back to sleep. 

 

Best Moment of the Week: 

Last Friday my co-workers threw me a surprise baby shower- it was so sweet and I was completely surprised.

Labor Signs: 

I am 1cm dilated and almost 50% effaced-  of course this could mean nothing so I'm not getting excited just yet.  

 

Belly Button- In or Out?:
