Thursday morning LaBelle (my sister) called me and asked if I can go to the hospital with her because she thought she may have food poisoning. I decided to go, just in case in was more severe than we thought. After a few hours of being there with her, I decided to go home. We had a previous conversation earlier that morning about me having a dream that I went into labor. I told her maybe it was her. We laughed and joked...Later I was home and using the bathroom (TMI) I thought I was constipated so I started to push(labor) than I felt my mucus plug come out, but not sure at that moment if it was it or not. I go out into the living room and start talking to my dad and water began leaking down my leg. I went back to bathroom to check and change. Came back out and it began flowing down my leg...everywhere. I called my doctor and he said my water broke. I started to cry and panic. I told my dad, he told me to grab my stuff and go to the car. I called Anthony crying and freaking out. I think he thought I was joking because he asked me more than once what I was saying. My dad rushed to the hospital passing every red light there was.

Once I was in triage, my whole family was there including in laws. For about 2 hours I had no idea what was going on until my doctor came in. He explained to me that even though I lost a lot of my amniotic fluid doesn't mean that he can not stay inside me, because it can be reproduced. I was relieved, which meant I would be staying in the hospital for about another month. I was transferred to L&D where I slept for my first night.
