Bummer news is that means we're playing the waiting game until she comes.
And boy is it an interesting waiting game!! I've slept wonderfully through this whole pregnancy so far (I will totally chalk it up to the sleep number bed we have - best investment we've made!!). Two nights ago, I had probably the worst nights sleep of my short life so far. Went to bed at 11:30, awake at 12:30 (for like a minute), awake again at 2:30 for about 15 min, again at 3:45 for about 15 min, and then at 4:15ish was wide awake again - so much so I didn't go back to sleep until a nap around 12:30 that afternoon when Jackson was taking a nap!! None of this from discomfort or potty breaks mind you... just awake! Funny part is, I felt pretty good until right before the nap!! The "saga" continues through last night when we went to be around 11 and I didn't wake up until my alarm went off at 7am - not even for a potty break!! And guess what!?!?! I felt like I was in desperate need of more sleep and/or major caffeine help most of today!! How does one get hardly any sleep at all and feel totally fine one night and then a solid nights sleep the next and feel like she only got an hour!? Anyway, moving on...
Last night, a friend reminded me with a great idea that my water could break at any point (although I think it's only like 8% or something of women have that happen before they get to the hospital but whatever...) and she had heard from a friend that putting a shower curtain under your mattress pad is a great, inexpensive way to help protect your mattress. I thought that sounded easy enough and great in helping protect one of our favorite belongings so Billy and I proceed to disassemble our bed to put this brilliant plan in action. Just a tidbit for those who could use it, either now or later. I'll let you guys know if it works or not!!
So now we wait...
