Baby Seymour is Coming Today!!!!!

Yay! My water broke at 11:45 today at work. It was hilarious now that I look back on it. I went upstairs to eat lunch. Drug reps bring lunch most days. Today it was from Firehouse Subs. They usually bring warm subs and put them in a cooler on the floor to keep them warm. I squatted down to pick out a sub and felt a little pop. The next thing I knew I was soaking wet. I stood up said "oh crap" and flew out of the room holding myself like a 2 yo who had to go. I had to go downstairs to get to an open bathroom. On the way down I called for Debbie (she is a lady at work who knows everything and fixes everything). When I got to the bathroom of course I was still gushing (sorry, probably TMI). Well they got me a towel and Sandra (another lady from work) called Jonathan. Every time I thought I was done leaking and stood up, it started again. I had no idea there was that much fluid in me.
Well, Jonathan got there and we left with tons of well wishes and hugs from co-workers. They say that you are supposed to make sure you have half a tank of gas or more in your car from 36 weeks on. Well we have been very good about this until today. My gas light came on today on the way to work. So on the way home we stopped for gas.
Now we are at home waiting for things to really get started. I have had several contractions, but nothing too bad yet. We will do our best to keep you posted. Please pray that he comes quickly. If he comes during business hours then the Nurse Midwife that I really want will deliver me!
We are so very very excited. Thanks for sharing in our joy!
