My water broke!! (Yes, I’m blogging while in labor. So?)

1:30 am…. Pregnant Mary FINALLY getting some much needed Tylenol PM sleep. Ah, sweet relief.

1:40 am… Woken up to frisky hubbie kissing my back. I got mad because now that I was awake I realized I had to pee. That in itself is a huge ordeal.  Wiggle to the edge of the bed, rock back and forth to swing my gigantic belly to the side, try and push with one arm up to sitting, then stand. Groggy, instant heart burn and “oh my gosh I’m not going to make it!”. I did make it however and on the way back tripped over the dog in the dark and got even more mad.

1:42 am … Clenching my throbbing pelvis from the crazy trip over the dog, lying in bed, cursing Dustin in my head for kissing me (the nerve!). my water breaks. No, actually it pops and gushes. Dustin actually heard it pop and stood over me in amazement while water shot off the bed. Oh the drama!  At that point we both looked at each other, smiled and whatever grumpy issue I had made up melted away while we realized our third child was on her way into the world!

It’s now a little over 12 hours later and we are still waiting for contractions to start.  We called our midwife and she’s cool with us hanging out here at the house for awhile. I’ve tried to get sleep but I”m way to excited. The little girl is moving around a lot and everything else seems fine. I’m sooooo happy that in 48 hours I will be done being pregnant and holding her in my arms!

More to come….
