Ok so.. May be a
mega TMI but what else am I good for.
Woke up at 330 this morning, went pee, laid back down and couldn't go to sleep again.
Sat up to prop the pillows to play on the computer and felt liquid slide out of the privates. Not thinking much (pee maybe?) I got up and changed the towel that I have on the bed.
5am I get in the tub to watch TV for a bit and am out at 6am.
610am I'm brushing my teeth and can not keep liquid from rolling down my leg. Pee again? Discharge? Water?
I get my undies and put a pad on.
From 615 - time to leave around 650, I go through 2 pads.
The liquid feeling can only be described as what it feels like when your period blood flows out of you. That "running out of my vagina - dear God I hope my pad is centered so my undies aren't blood red!" feeling.
Got to work at 730 and had to change my pad again. It wasn't full but definitely wet and I don't want wet just sitting up against me ( blush )
It's now about 1 hour later and this pad is still ok to wear although the "period blood flowing" feeling has hit a couple of times.
My question - do you think baby boy is just seriously having fun with my bladder or should I call the dr?
By 5 pm, I was feeling contractions get stronger.. still dilated to 4 but 90% effaced (which I'm told effacement is more important than dilation). By 5:30, they were painful. By 6pm, they were unbearable so they checked and I was ready to push!

So I called the Dr's office and based on that conversation at 10:30,
decided it would be best if I went in to get checked. I told my boss that I
fully expected to be back but that it was at the recommendation of the Dr's
office to get things looked at.
Once at the birthing center, they did a check and it came back positive for ruptured waters. I asked the nurse "So now what?" She said.. "We're going to have a baby today!"
SHOCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I called my mom and DH and let them both know it was baby day! By 12:30 they both had arrived and we just waited for things to start progressing on their own. My initial check I was dilated to 2 and thick - an hour later, I was a 4 and 50% effaced. That never changed until they started Pitocin.
I decided on an epidural this time, just to be safe in the pain department - both the epi and Pit were in full swing by 3:30 pm.

Bram Alexander was born at 6:12 pm on 4/10/13 weighing in at 6lbs, 12
ozs and even though officially classified as a preemie, he's absolutely perfect
in every way!
I wish there were some excitement to my little man's story but
everything went as smooth and "expected" as can be for birthing a
baby! lol..
Here's a couple pictures that got captured on my phone.. we have more on the camera which I can post when I get a few more minutes.
