So last week, I woke up at 4 am and the bed was soaked.
“{Tank}! Wake up! The bed is soaked!”
“Babe, you probably wet the bed, don’t panic.”
“I haven’t wet the bed since I was 3!!! SOMETHING IS WRONG!!!”
And I started to panic.
“Does my stomach look smaller?!?! It is definitely smaller!!!!”
And sob.
And panic some more.
“Why isn’t he moving!?!? He is ALWAYS moving! Something is wrong!!!”
So after waking a dear friend (who doubles as a Labor and Delivery Nurse) at what would have been almost 3 am her time, and then having the doctor paged and speaking with most of the hospital staff, we rushed off to the hospital. The charge nurse said gently “it sounds like your water has broken dear, just come right in to Labor and Delivery, 3rd floor, I already have your file and a bed ready for you.”
More panic.
More crying.
After spending all morning there, they tell me in fact…
I peed the bed.
I am 33 years old and I just peed the bed. This is by far the best news of my entire life and then I cry more. From Joy.
My baby is ok.
He is still growing.
His water is looking great and he is still wiggling like a crazy man.
Everything
is
ok.
{deep breath}
Stress?
Didn’t want it.
Nope.
That was a really rough day.

I would be heading in as well. In fact I did that with Big Brother. Totally peed myself but thought it was my water. Into the hospital we went for testing and monitoring to be told I peed myself.

That is both terrifying and also a wee bit funny… but only because everything was ok in the end. I’m glad that everyone is alright!
I’m soooooo glad everything is okay with you and your little man. Whew! You are always in my prayers.

My sister’s water broke 8 weeks early…she spent 6 weeks in the hospital before little man was born at a whopping 4 pounds. He is a super healthy wonderful little sports star. :O)
Thanks for making me cry <—that was sarcasm…but at least there are smiles in my tears

Because your baby is fine I feel I can say this to you…..
Do you want me to send you some of Hank’s Pull Ups? I am sure they would fit you since they are bordering on adult diapers the kid is so damn big
