IT'S TIME!!!!!! I think...? lol

Oh my goodness, it's 3:15am on July 2nd and I'm laying in bed questioning 'Is this it....could this possibly be...MY WATER BREAKING!!!!'

At around 1am I started feeling major period like cramps. I lay in bed talking it through in my head saying 'This is a good sign Devin.....finally some consistent cramping!!!!'

I went back to sleep, waking a few times in cramping discomfort. At around 3:15am in the middle of a dream, I was awoken to the feeling of a small little 'gush'.

I immediately woke up and in my head said 'That couldn't have been pee?!?! Could it? I don't even feel like I have to go to the ladies room?'.

I felt Sweet Pea moving and said to myself 'Sweet Pea are you awake? Did you just break my water?'. Loool

I used the ladies room and went back to bed. I lay there for seconds questioning what just occurred in my head when I felt a little wet again.

'OK!! I think this is it!!!!! My water is slowly leaking!! This can't be pee'.

I tapped Dennard on the shoulder and whispered 'Dennard, Dennard....I think my water is leaking!!!'.

Frazzled he says out loud while pulling the sheet back 'Ok, ok....we gotta go now!!!'.

'No, we don't have to go now...it's just a leak...it didn't break.We can go in the morning. When my water fully broke with Nya, we were sent home because I wasn't in active labour. Get some sleep; we'll go in the morning. Doesn't look like we'll be having a Sunday baby after all!!!  No work for you tomorrow either!' I said with a chuckle.

That was music to his ears. Lol
'Ok, just see how you are tonight and we'll go in the AM' he said pulling the sheets back over his head. Looool

It's now 3:42am and I just felt my first small contraction.

I should really be going back to sleep right now to rest for what seems will be DDAY!!!! :D But I'm to anxious now.  How can you sleep at a time like this?!? Lol

I went online and looked up 'Signs of water breaking'. I visited the Baby Centre website that almost perfectly described what I experienced called "The In-betweener'.

The In-betweener- 'No big gush; just a small gush like when you first start your period'.

Yup! Sounds like what I just experianced!!!!!!!

I can't help but think 'Oh my goodness!!!! I guessed weeks ago that Sweet Pea would come on July 2nd or 3rd. At around 1am this morning is when my cramping started; exactly one hour into July 2nd.

My older sisters 9 year wedding anniversary is today. I told her last week "Jenn, I think Sweet Pea might come on your anniversary!'. With a laugh she said 'Wouldn't that be neat!!!'.

I even said that I wanted my water to break in the night. Why, I don't know?! Lol I guess because it did with Nya and it only seemed fitting?!?! Lol I really have no reasoning behind my logic to be honest. Lol

Dennard even told me weeks ago that he for some reason always figured it would happen in the night as well like it did with Nya.

This goes to show you the incredible works of God; seriously!!!! I prayed for a July baby once we were told my due date was moved to June 28th.  In my prayers I remember even specifically saying 'God...even if it's the 1st or 2nd...I just pray I make it to July!'.

Although my body has been saying 'It's time!!!' for over a week now, it's like God slowed down the process and said 'It's not time yet little one....just a little while longer. I'm honoring your mommy's prayers and keeping you in until July'. :)

God is SO good!!!! He hears and He honours!! Never doubt the power of prayer and the faith of a believer. We can move mountains by our faith.

It's 3:57am now and I'm going to try and get another hour or two of sleep if I can.

Hang tight for my next post to see what the hosptial says in the AM :D


Second contraction: 4:09am; roughly 20mins apart
