labor has begun

This will be my last update until after I have this kid. (Excited?) WARNING: this will gross some of you out.

Around 10:30p, while playing Pictionary and just after going to the bathroom, I felt a surge of liquid. I assumed it was me peeing my pants, because as of late I have to go to the bathroom every couple of minutes and often leak a little. When I shifted my weight, though, I felt that my dress seemed soaked. So when a round of the game ended I excused myself to the restroom, sighing "I have to pee AGAIN!"

Needless to say when I went in there and pulled down the bikini bottoms (underwear doesn't fit me anymore) another surge of liquid (cloudy and thick-looking) rushed out in a stream and I knew then what I'd been suspecting for all of a minute: my water had broken.

Thankfully, my mom had foresight enough to buy pads at the store just in case, and she says she planned our family night not only to get my mind off being frustrated about being pregnant and miserable but in hopes that by me relaxing maybe progression would happen. I'm also putting "blame" on my sister-in-law, Christa, because she made me laugh so much and so hard I think I laughed myself into labor (not a bad way to do it).

Well, now my phone is blowing up and I know Josh is going crazy because he's making Lindsay blow up my cell phone and run down my battery. I'm busy timing contractions so answering texts and phone calls is not a possibility right now even though I'm receiving many. (Thank you, by the way, and sorry for ignoring you.)

DIRECTIONS TO ST FRANCIS MOORESVILLE:
465 to Kentucky Ave (I-67), turn left
you're going to drive for a good 15-20 minutes towards Mooresville
pass Meijer and car lots
there will be a Lowe's and a Walgreen's at a stop light, go through that
the next stop light is HADLEY ROAD, turn left at that light
immediate right into St Francis
park in the yellow parking lot
the maternity ward is just inside those doors to your left

See some of you there and the next time I post, there will be a baby using me as an all you can eat buffet and demanding I wipe his ass :)
