So Friday night I was getting my dd Ashlyn ready for bed I figured it wouldnt hurt to put her to bed early so that I could rest and maybe watch some tv. I then I heard a knock at my front door I go and answer it and it's my neighbor and she tells me that if I want to rest or anything since my due date was getting closer that I could always leave Ashlyn with them that they wouldnt mind watching her for me (they are awesome neighbors)!!!! I thank my neighbor and  go about getting Ashlyn ready for bed again. Then my DH calls me and lets me know that he is getting off early I tell him ok and I will see him when he gets home.I finally get Ashlyn in the bathroom so that she can go potty. It is now 7:30. I go into her room to start turning down covers, and get her stories lined up when I feel this tiny gush of water. Silly me I think I peed myself when it happens again then I start to think hey that is so not pee oh crap my water just broke!!! I call my DH and tell him tell Ashlyn to get her slippers on because she is going to go play at her friends house grab a blanket and I walk her across the street as fast as I can knock on the door Ashlyn runs inside as soon as the door opens the neighbor looks at me and I ask her if she can take ashlyn now my water just broke she then says what water? I point to my tummy she grabs Ashlyn I thank her and tell her dh is about 5 minutes away. I get home and start throwing things into the nearest bag that I can find dh walks in the door he helps me grab the last bit and we head out on our way to the hospital. We get to the hospital it is almost 8:30 now I check in they pull me back and start asking me all the fun questions  do you drink, smoke, blah blah blah. Then the nurse tells me that since I ate  nont that long ago that my C/S would most likely be around 6 the next morning that is fine byme and she goes to confirm it with the dr. She comes back and tells me that since my water had broke and that the contractions were starting that the baby would be here tonight within the next hour it is now 9 pm. Dh mean while is horrified and shocked that she will be here that soon and starts making even more phone calls after he is done he sits down and informs everyone that he is sick!!! I turn to look at him and he is as white as a ghost lol poor guy all the attention turns to him and they move him to the next room. Then they take me over to the O.R. and start prepping me they also let me know that he my dh might not make it to see the birth of our baby they finish me up lay me down and then in walks dh!!! 10:32 pm my baby is born!!! She wieghed in at 5 lbs 8 oz and was 18 1/4 inches long!!! She is just perfect in every way I love her so much. She is in the NICU right now but she is doing great!!! She is breathing on her own and is even nursing already I am so proud of her!!! The Drs are all shocked at how well she is doing. I will be sure and post pics as soon as I can!! Thanks for reading  Wishing you all save and healthy pregnancies
