My water broke

This is for Ashley.
Unfortunattly I've been in a kind of stalled labor all week. I'll have contractions, they'll get promising, and then they stop and laugh at me. So this morning I woke up and BAM! It didn't full out brake until just a few minutes ago, but I can officially say my water has broken for the first time before my kids heads have been coming out. I was answering my door for a lady who lost her little yorkie dog and it broke all over. She was a little surprised when I suddenly said, "Oh my gosh! My water just broke everywhere!"
Well, now all we have to do is wait for labor to start. I just took a nap so I think I'll make a run to the store and get a french silk pie to celebrate! I hope labor starts before soon, I'd like to have this kid out before bed time. I suppose I could go check into the hosptial when I get ready for bed so I'm there if I go into labor during the night. That way I won't have to get up and go anywhere.
Yeah! So excited this is finally over! I told Ethan and Lauren this morning that the baby was coming today. They got really excited because they know Grandma is coming to stay the night with them. Ethan wanted to know what it means to have my water break so I showed him a picture of the bag of waters and told him it poped kind of like a balloon and the liquid came out. He's been pretending to be a poping balloon now. Then he remembered when he watched a horse have a baby and he thought it came out of it's butt. So he asked me if the baby was coming out of my butt yet. Ha! Okay Ethan, the horses baby didn't come out of it's butt! What do you say to this??? I just told him it comes out kind of where I go pee. He's a smart kid and I've never met a 4 year old so interested in anatomy. He knows where all his basic insides are and his favorite is his bladder because it fills up like a balloon when it has pee in it. I tried to just tell him that baby will come out of my tummy, but he instantly said that wasn't possible because there arn't any holes in my tummy so it had to come out of my butt. Wow. I can't wait for the more fun questions to come! I'll be back posting pictures of the latest Ross Rat in a day or two. Wish me luck!

congrats! I am so jealous. Not that I am ready to have my baby... but because I loved that new time with Lucy. Is it going to be a girl or boy? Or do you know... I can't gather from your blog, but I might be deficient.

Good LucK!
