Something is starting to happen, but I don’t think there will be a Smudge appearance for a couple of days yet.

I had a resurgence of irregular Braxton-Hicks contractions, off and on today, and one or two "real" contractions — including one that involved my back even more than my front. But there’s no pattern, other than "more than the last few days."

I also had a burst of cleaning energy, but that could be because my M-I-L-Equivalent (she isn’t technically my MIL, since the IL part doesn’t apply) arrives tomorrow.

Fruit & Veg Count, 2/1: 1 cup carrot sticks, 1 bowl butternut squash soup, 1 small salad, 1 strawberry "all fruit" popcicle.
