At 5:30 this morning (EST for you Vancouver folks!) Michelle's water broke. Woken up after a full hour sleep I heard her from the other room (yes I was sleeping in the other room...ever try sleeping with a large itchy pregnant woman?) "Hun...it happened".
My first reaction was to strip the soiled sheets off the bed and put them in the washing machine...which I did. Supportive husband right! Anyway we called the Dr. and he told us to head right to the hospital. My biggest fear for the past 9 months was getting lost on the way to the hospital...I'm happy to say we made it...without my GPS!! After getting strapped to all the necessary monitoring equipment the next thing Michelle did was order an Omelette with everything...mushrooms, cheese, ham, green peppers, onions..the works. She obviously has her priorities straight. The food here is actually very good, not like typical hospital food....this is all very important to us!
It's 12:30pm now and Michelle is doing great. She's been having contractions but nothing really significant has happened yet, which is normal. I have to say it's amazing to watch her as a contraction hits, she is able to bear down and focus away the pain...it's hard to explain unless you see it but so far she is able to put the pain aside.
The staff here at St. Joe's have been great checking her every 30 minutes. Either way by 6am tomorrow morning we're walking out of here with a baby...got to go...Michelle's Caesar salad just came in.....
More later....
