it happened.

so, think middle of the night.  4 am.  and then it happened. my water broke.  my immediate thought:, hmmm, am i peeing myself?  but since my water has broken before i knew what was happening.  my next thought: wait, the crib isn't up, nothing (i mean nothing) has been accomplished in the nursery.  it can't be time yet.  i was supposed to have 9 weeks left.  besides, i don't have any clothes washed for her.  no hospital outfit picked out.  we get ready to go to the hospital.  my bags aren't packed... i don't even know where a bag is that i could use to pack.  what do we do with hunter?  the dog?  we figured out everything as we were half asleep, half scared, half nervous, half excited, and made our way to the labor and delivery floor.  good thing, though, that today is april 1st.  : )   i guess the nursery will get done after all.  (it will be really funny to see how many people make it to the end of this paragraph... hmmm... i'm sure i'll get a few congratulations! he he!)

cait said...

funny funny...I have to admit I jumped ahead to make sure this was an April Fool's joke. :) That little one needs some more time to "bake"! Have fun getting that nursery together...so fun!

Sabrina said...

LOL, LOL, LOL!!! That was pretty convincing and for a split second I believed it. Perfect execution of an April Fools Day prank.

Teresa @ Grammy Girlfriend said...

That was funny...and I needed a laugh....

Lynnette Kraft said...

You ARE ornery, BUT, you are nice because you said it was April's fools right after you teased ... you didn't make anybody panic for more than a moment. I wasn't so nice. I waited nearly 24 hours to reveal my joke. ha! Yours WAS a bit more serious though.

So glad you can get the nursery done and that you won't have a premature baby. All's well that ends well! :)
