OMG my water broke...well...not really

Now I know EVERY single one of you is thinking, "Wow, her water broke already?"
It's kind of a funny story. I'll start by saying no, my water did not break and my discovery was most embarrassing so I figured I would share it with you.
A couple days ago I was home from work before I got put on maternity leave. I was sitting on the couch talking my husband's ear off which is something I do pretty regularly. I went to stand up to get more water and I felt a trickle of liquid running down my leg. Since I have been having contractions my first thought was that my water had broken. I awkwardly waddle to the bathroom and began telling my husband that my water broke. My poor husband being such a concerned soon to be daddy was right outside the bathroom door asking if he could do anything. He was ready to call my doctor and just ready to take this on. Once in the bathroom I began to look closer at the situation. The liquid did not smell anything like I read it should smell like, in fact in smelled like urine.
So I got to tell my husband through the bathroom door that I was fine and we didn't need to call the doctor. He was confused because I had told him my water broke and in his mind how would I mistake that for something else. I had to explain when I thought was a little amniotic fluid turned out to be pee. Yes love, I peed my pants a little bit when I stood up.

I guess there are more embarrassing things that could happen and I could have kept this story to myself but I am a firm believer in laughing at yourself whenever you can.

Pregnancy hasn't been nearly as glamorous as I had imagined but I would and will do it all over again someday. John and I have already decided that we will have more children together after Lincoln is born and I hope to keep this blog going as Lincoln grows up and we begin to expand our family together. We don't have an exact number in mind as far as how many children we will have but I do know we plan on at least 1 more. Our plan is to start trying for a 2nd baby once Lincoln is 1 years old.
I hope you all continue to read about our family as Lincoln is born and grows up into a toddler :)
