false alarm...

So, we're BIG dorks! Last night I was having contractions - nothing major but pretty uncomfortable. I didn't sleep much, but went to work because I felt fine in the morning. Right after lunch I had a contraction that really bothered me (the menstrual-cramp, back-ache kind) and then I started to feel really bad. I was walking super S-L-O-W and I could barely keep up with my kiddos. I got back to the classroom and my co-workers were a bit worried. I called the OB to let her know and she thought I might have lost my water. I hadn't had a major gush of water(I argued with the nurse), but my discharge (TMI, I know), was much heavier and she said this was a sign that my water might have broke. So, my OB called Labor and Delivery, my principal picked up Mike (because we carpool), I called my Mom and sister, and we were on our way! Woo-hoo!

Long story short, they sent us home. I asked if I could stay since we were already there and in the lovely hospital gown, but the answer was "no". Bummer. After making such a fuss, I feel like the world's biggest dork! You'd think this was my first time to have a baby, but we induced Oliver a week early and I had NO signs of labor with him (until I got the pitosin drip - eek).

So, we're still waiting. And waiting. And waiting.
