We think my water may have broke this afternoon. It’s very little wetness, unlike the two other times my water has broke, but since I tested positive for Strep B (dangit), I’m going in to have it checked. If it’s broke, they’ll treat me with antibiotics, and then we’ll fight as to whether or not they’re going to make me stay. If it isn’t broke, we’ll come home and I’ll post and tell you.
Since I’m not contracting yet, I figure I’m going to have to be induced again. Which annoys me to no end. So Nate is putting together a comprehensive collection of movies to take along. Dangit dangit dangit.
I really don’t know what to hope for. Broken water, induction, and a boring night of contractions and movies? Or water NOT broke, and continued waiting and discomfort?
Honestly, I don’t know. It’d sure be convenient right now, in that childcare for the girls is easily arranged, but I’d always rather be in labor during the day.

Good luck! I am so excited for you and I don’t even know you! I’ve been watching your blog to see when the superbaby is born!

I know it is too late for me to make a movie suggestiom. Hopefully, you had a super speedy labor and are holding the baby right now! If that isn’t the case, however, I would suggest “GI Jane”. Those scenes where Demi Moore’s character pushes herself through the training make me feel like I can handle any pain. Actually, I need to view it again myself to motivate me for exercise :-).

God bless! I’m assuming that since you haven’t posted again, you are in the hospital. God willing, it all goes well.
