Water Broke!!

Well, little did I know when I met with my boss this afternoon for my performance review, that I would not be coming back to work. I certainly hope that doesn't affect my rating! :-) In fact, the last thing we said to each other being leaving for my doctor's appointment was that we "would freak out" if he tells me I am close and need to stay home! But, he didn't get a chance to do that. I left work about 2:00, immediately after my EPR, and went to my normal doctor's visit. Dr. Mueller said everything looked great, as he always did, and actually said I hadn't progressed any more than I had last week. So, for all I knew, I had ten more days to get things ready for your arrival. However, you had a different idea in mind. About 8:00 this evening, I started to sense that my water was leaking. I got off the phone with Angie, and had actually had a discussion about my water breaking and how nervous I was that it might happen at work. Well, all that talking must have sparked something, cause later that night I realize my water had broke. I wasn't sure at first and actually took a shower...good thing...because I was just going to wait to see how it progressed. It wasn't a "gush" like you always hear about, but it was just leaking. In fact, I called Angie back and talked to her a little more about it. She thought it was a possibility and told me to walk around the house to see if it progressed any more. About 11:00 that night, Shane and I just decided to get to the hospital to check it out...just in case. Well, by the time we got the car loaded with our bags, the car seat, etc. I could tell it was time. When we got to the hospital, Angie had already called them to let them know I may be coming..what a great friend...and nurse!! They got us checked in and by that time, there was no question my water had broke. Although, I was not having contractions yet so they put me on petocin. About 2:30 in the morning, they got us to the delivery room and got us situated. We tried to get some sleep and talked about calling everyone at 5:00, knowing everyone might be getting up for work and would need some time to call in backups! Looks like tomorrow will be the big day!!!! There are so many emotions going on right now...we're happy, nervous, scared, excited, anxious...all of the above!! We cannot wait to meet you Olivia!!!! This is the last time I will look like this...
