Labor Alert!

Well, I am home without a baby. It's about 10:00 p.m. now. My water
began gushing at Mass this morning around 10:00 a.m. (I will tell the
full story when I'm less tired...I promise!!!) I went home, called my
mom to come watch our toddler, and around 12:00 began having some
contractions. They seemed to be about 10 minutes apart, then they got
closer together. My mom was kind of bugging me (I was stressed out
being at home), so we called the midwife and she said to come over. I
think we arrived at the birthing center around 2:00 p.m. My water
continued to leak a lot (probably went through about 10 Depends), but
no contractions! We stayed until 9:30 p.m. and then we all made the
decision to go home and get some rest since labor wasn't progressing.
My fluid is still leaking, but no contractions. I'm hoping to go to
bed and to wake up in active labor. They were monitoring me and the
baby closely, and both of us are doing well, so we're comfortable with
this decision. I have a terrible head cold right now...I'm all
congested which is making it hard to breathe and relax, so I'd LOVE
prayers. Hopefully I'll have a baby tomorrow.
