False Alarm

5:30 I woke up to go to the bathroom, as I laid back down in bed.. a GUSH. What the? I thought to myself I just went to the bathroom... Jared woke up. We were both sure  my water had broke. But no contractions.. So I decided to go with it, as I had an appt at 9am with Dr. Savage. She listens to baby-- he sounds good, she checks me, and I've progressed to 3cm. She does the test, and it comes back positive. It was indeed amniotic fluid. She sends me straight to the hospital.

I get over there, wait a few minutes and they take me back to the room. 3 different tests were done.. All coming back negative.. By this time it's 11;00ish. WE call Mark and have him take Lexi and head to our house so that someone can be there when Landon gets home. They also do an ultrasound to make sure baby has enough fluid, and he does. Dr. Savage and the nurses, along with JAred, confirm I must have had a forebag this time. A bag, before the 'real bag'. SAdly the 'real bag' didn't break and because all tests came back negative-- there wasn't reason to induce, and we found ourselves checking out of the hospital, and heading home. No baby. False alarm. I'd be lying if I didn't admit I'm crying inside a little-- for just a couple of reasons. I've only EVER been induced and oh-how- I would love to go by myself. But with being the wife of a doctor, it's not easy for him to just get up and leave work (his patients don't like that for some reason?!) so we have always planned inductions. I as so excited at the thought of holding mysweet baby today. It took us so long to get pregnant, then to miscarry, then to get pregnant again.... WE just feel so blessed to have this little one joining our family. And after today, I'm just so nervous that something will go wrong this week. I just worry that something may have been missed. So I will continue to just make sure and be aware of his movements, and pray for this sweet boy. I think I'm going to have J give me a blessing. I feel a little bit 'train-wrecked'.... Anyways if nothing great happens this week. I go in on tuesday for my last appt, and my induction will be the 19th. I pray all goes well these next 11 days....
