False Alarm

I got out of bed this morning and felt a "gush of fluid."  It didn't feel like I had wet my pants, so I assumed my water had broken.  I called Labor and Delivery and they told me to come on in.  I got all hooked up to the monitors and such and they did tests to see if my water had actually broken.  The answer: No.  Guess I just wet my pants after all.  How embarrassing.  The nurse who helped us out was super nice though.  She said it happens all the time.  She told us that, since I am already three days overdue, she would call the doctor on call (mine is out of town), and we could possible start labor today anyway.  But after checking me again and talking to the doctor, they decided to just send me home to wait till Monday.  My cervix is just not ready for labor yet.  If it was, I would still be in the hospital.  But instead we are back at home eating lunch on the couch.  I'm not too bummed because I had kind of already gotten used to the idea of going in Monday.  So we're still here, Lia is still kickin around in my belly, doing just great according to the fetal monitors they had me hooked up to.  I'll post again if anything else interesting happens!

(Please don't think I'm weird or crazy for not being able to recognize whether my water broke or not.  It really felt like something new and unusual. so I decided to play it safe and call in. I feel a little silly about it, but what was I supposed to do?)
