another funny story....

This past Sunday I had my final baby shower and at 38 weeks I was very uncomfortable and having contractions. After the baby shower I did my thank yous to my mother in law and headed out to go pick up my husband at the kickball field.
{A short back story on "kickball". My husband is the captain of our co-ed kickball team, Red Ball and Vodka that plays every Sunday at a park in Portland. Sunday afternoons are spent at the park with friends, food, and drinks. We both love it and once Lincoln is born he will join us for kickball Sundays}
So I head to the park and although I am exhausted I haven't seen our friends in a while so we hang out for a little bit before we go to the pizza place to celebrate our win.

Here is what the kickball field is like on a Sunday. Lots of fun :)

Back to my story. I am exhausted and starting to feel nauseated so I talked to my husband and we decided it was time to go to the pizza place with the other teams. I figured sitting down and water might help my contractions. So we arrive at the pizza place and I just couldn't bring myself to eat anything. I started drinking water but I was just feeling horrible. My contractions were getting closer and closer together and I was starting to wonder if maybe this big day had started labor. I was sitting at the table when I felt some fluid trickle down my leg. I get up and waddle my way to the bathroom to see what was going on. Once in the bathroom I am positive this is my water breaking. It didn't smell like urine and well I was having contractions. I go back to the table and tell my husband I think my water broke and we have to go to the hospital. Well being at this pizza place with a bunch of other people everyone noticed us getting up suddenly to leave. We told everyone my water broke and we are headed to the hospital. Everyone got excited. Everyone was clapping and cheering as we left the building. I contact my doctor and we start headed in. 

Once at the hospital I get hooked up to monitors and it's time to check me. I am no more dilated and effacement hasn't changed since my last appointment so the nurse does a check to see if my fluid is in fact amniotic fluid. After running a couple tests she determined I was dehydrated and that was causing the contractions. She also verified that the water breaking I thought I had experienced was actually my bladder letting out some urine. So basically I just left a pizza place full of friends announcing my water broke and in all reality I just peed myself a little bit.

So I drank a bunch of water and they sent me home in hopes I do go into labor soon.

Here is what my facebook status read that evening:

{To those of you who were at Mississippi applauding me because I thought my water broke...well...I was wrong...it was pee! Which is so embarrassing but I figured I should share that with you all! No baby yet! Let's hope soon!}

So I am hoping for a baby soon because I am still having contractions and more uncomfortable then ever. I feel like I am going to be pregnant forever! 

Well that is my funny story of the week. I hope you all enjoyed and have a wonderful day :)
