Leaking mommy

Last night I was casually reading my book "Cutting of Stone" in bed, while Taco was snuggling near my feet. I was in the middle of a great chapter when BAM! Taco pukes everywhere. At least a litre of digested cat food all over the duvet cover. Gross! I felt bad for the pour little fur ball, but at the same time I wished she would get this eating disorder under control.

I stripped the duvet cover off and tossed it in the wash. On the way back up from the basement, I felt some leakage between my legs. Then I sat on the toilet and gush... a splash of water and the "mucus plug". I'm guessing my water broke, I mean what else could it be. The mucus plug wasn't as gross as it sounds. It was literally a tiny bit of blood mixed with water that fell into the toilet. Then I started to wonder, how much more water can come out. It continued to gradually leak for the next hour or so.

I fell asleep as usual and woke up normally around 7am. I started to make some yummy cinnamon rhubarb muffins for my visit with Cari and Mike at 10am. It was going to be the first time I visit their new house with Julian and I was excited. But then hear came the sneeze, and ACHOOOOO, water all over the kitchen floor. Well maybe I'm being a little dramatic but I sure did leak again.

I called Laya, our midwife and described my situation. She asked me to squat down and see if any water leaks out. I did and sure enough a trickle of a tablespoon or two of water came out. She suggested I meet her at the hospital and we test out the fluid to make sure that it is indeed amniotic fluid. So off to the hospital we go for 10:30am. Will keep ya posted.
