What A Night?

 Last night as Mike and I headed to bed, I used the restroom before going to bed. Once out of the bathroom and near the bed I realized I was wet. I waddled back to the bathroom to see if I had wet myself or if I had broke my water. I believe I wet myself, but I wasn't sure. I waddled back to bed after changing, I hadn't wet myself much if that's what it was.  I told Mike that if it was my water we should know soon, and we went to sleep.

 Michael woke up crying at some point in the night, I don't remember when. We consoled him and he went back to sleep after a good while. Poor little man. Then it was back to bed after another bathroom break.

 I woke up again at 5 am needing to use the restroom, so I went. Then I stayed on the toilet and trickled fluid for about 5 minutes. I finally got a pad and stuffed it in place before turning on my computer to research about your water breaking. I had a high leak last time with Michael and I thought maybe my water broke with another high leak. I was having contractions of some kind, I believe they were braxton hicks, but there were one or two that were very slightly painful. About 20 minutes later at 5:24am I felt like I had to pee again. So, off to the bathroom I went. I "peed" but I couldn't tell if I was actually peeing or if it was a collection of water that managed to leak out from the high leak again. While still using the bathroom, Michael woke up crying and screamed, "Mama!" Mike woke up and noticed me missing and called for me too. I let him know I was in the bathroom, and then I went to check on Michael.

 Michael got up out of bed and headed for the door (of the bedroom) I shut the door not wanting to chase him through the house, but that made him scream and cry so I opened it up. He stood right outside in the hallway next to the bathroom (which still had a light on) and said, "Water?" as he looked in there. I told him that yes, there was water running (still going in the toilet) and then he looked at me and asked, "Peepee?" Seeing his diaper wasn't wet I told him that I had indeed gone peepee. He accepted that and then looked out the hallway and said, "Vroom Vroom?" I agreed that our vroom vroom was out there. We continued to talk about the vroom vroom and when that didn't get us anywhere, he told me "Outside!" I told him it was "night night" and that we didn't go outside at night. He didn't want to accept that. I finally asked him if he'd like another baba and when he agreed, I got his bottle from the room while he stood in the hallway. He walked with me into the kitchen and his face lit up right away when he saw the keys to my car. He grabbed them and insisted that we go outside to the vroom vroom. I poured his bottle for him and knowing he wanted it, I asked him if I could have the keys. He gave me the keys as I gave him the bottle. I picked him up and took him to bed with me. He laid down between Mike and I and passed out for the rest of the night. (Oh and as for the reason I believe he woke up the first time, I think he was having gas pains, because as we were standing in the kitchen there were quite a few long toots).

 Then, at 7am this morning, I got a phone call from Lori, almost sounding panicked asking me what was wrong. Granted, the panic in her voice I think was from the way I sounded when I answered... very groggy and sleep. Apparently, my phone called her and she barely missed the call and she called back immediately. I told her there was no way my phone could have called her as it was on the night stand next to me, the cats weren't scurrying about they were curled up asleep and Michael was sound asleep between Mike and I. My phone has no record of it calling her, but I heard her tell John that I didn't call her. There was a bit of confusion among all of us over that, but whatever. Then at 7:07am I heard a woman's voice say, "Ash?" I jumped and looked behind me to see who was standing there, but no one was there, so I looked out the window that was right at my head to see who was there and no one was there. Neither Mike or Michael stirred though so I know they didn't hear it.  It took me a good minute to realize that I must be that exhausted, but I'll tell you, it tripped me out. It was very realistic.

I finally got back to bed and slept in and out until it was time to get up. Then Mike and Michael went to the auction and looked around, while I napped some more to get some good rest after a very weird night!
