So after blogging, Zach walked in and I busted out crying. We decided to break the rules and go to Jacksonville for the weekend…I mean it’s only an hour and a half away! After he left again I started looking up some cheap hotels and woosh…felt a bunch of leakage.
I stood up to go to the bathroom and it was a TON more. Ran in there and took off my pants and it went through my undies (completely soaked) and my jeans. It was clear so I was pretty sure it was my water breaking!
I called Zach and he came back home and smelled it and said it’s odorless. I called the dr. just to check and while waiting for the call back I felt a lot more contracting. Nothing where I’m doubled over in pain but enough where it does hurt. OF COURSE Stacy is gone…and something I didn’t think about when she left was that I may NEED her.
When the dr. called me back she said I needed to go to the hospital. That is NOT my plan lady!!! I told her Stacy said I can stay home as long as it’s clear but she said I need to go so they can monitor everything. Sorry, I’m not going. Instead we’re going to pack everything left to pack, I’m going to shower and look my best, and we’re going to clean the house. Then we’ll see.
The contractions are getting pretty intense…but if 2 hours ago I was only 1 cm I DOUBT I’m more than 3 or 4 right now! I’ll post again if I can 🙂 If not, keep us and Clover in your prayers and I’ll blog as soon as I can when I get home!!! At least it’s finally happening 🙂
