whew. wasn't ready anyway...

{12. 7. 2010}

i was pretty darn sure my water didn't break but i did have some leaking of fluids. i know at this point in the pregnancy it's normal to leak some urine {eeew, i know} but because of the pre-term concern the advice nurse had me go into labor and delivery at st. vincent's. i REALLY didn't want to go in but we did.
we packed the car as if this were the real deal and checked in on the 3rd floor from the purple elevators. the lady showed us the doors in which to go through and wished us luck...i was not ready for this. at least not tonight...
they had me put on a hospital gown and hooked me up to the monitor...one to follow baby and one for contractions. baby was doing beautifully...i had two contractions and lot's of irritable ones. the nurse was SO incredibly nice...after being there for almost an hour i was sent home after being checked - it was fluid...not my water breaking {and thankfully not urine!!}.

now i'm back at home on the mattress watching the blazer game...enjoying my "normal" tuesday evening once again with scott and charlie. wonder if i'll be here next week...
