We're going to a dinner party tonight with pretty much everyone Chris works with. Who wants to bet my water breaks in the middle of it?

Meet the Fish
I want to get a pet duck and keep it in the bathtub.

That would be cool! I had to have my water broken when was induced...then proceeded to a csection I was hoping it would just break somewhre and cause a "oh my god!" But here we are. I am having bad postpartum depression and they have me on all kinds of meds. Not doing so great....please keep me/us in your prayers or whatnot.

Since you're thisclosetotheduedate and I'm sure you want to hold the lil punkin' in your arms rather than your womb, I'll be rootin' for a water break at the party.
All for the sake of great blogging fodder of course!

It's sort of one of those once in a lifetime moments, though, isn't it? Well, I guess it depends...but yeah.
And Cheryl will be in my prayers.

Wishiful thinking ;-)

I think that would be SO COOL if it happened. Seriously, no one would ever forget Wally's birthday!

I know how you're feeling. When I was preggers w/ little bear I was convinced that my water would break during church and ruin the upholstered pews.
Doc scraped my membranes on my 38 week visit and never told me he did it. I left the office saying see ya next week. Boy am I glad I didn't decide to do any shopping. When that water broke it just kept coming and wouldn't stop. I had to ride to the hospital with handtowels stuffed into my pants because pads were SOOOOOO not cutting it. I recommend keeping a couple of black garbage bags and spare towels in the car for just such an emergency.

Perhaps it will come in the middle of some awkward silence or a really dull topic of conversation and will save you. Always the optimist...

I'm thinking you can pretty much count on it. Is Chris's boss going to be there? Because that'll just about guarantee it.
Posted by Dawn | January 19, 2008 11:45 AM
I wouldn't wish that on anybody.

Did I guess January 19th? I totally meant to guess that day.

Only if you've already lost your mucus plug ...

Ha ha! Do you know that tablecloth trick, where you yank it out from under the dishes? It'll distract attention away from yourself, and then you can wrap it around you on your way out.

You will set the precedence for all future dinner parties. :)
Posted by Kristie | January 19, 2008 2:37 PM
wow, mucus plug, membranes.. did I stumble on an iVillage message board!? haha! I think its a little too early, but wouldn't that be a great story. Especially given the 8 ball response. I'm a bit literal like that :)

Gravy!!!!
I'm sorry, the door was opened and I felt compelled to walk through, so blame yourself for opening the door in the first place.

Well then don't wear your favorite shoes! You'd hate to mess them up.

Any baby yet? (Oh, and by the way, Bloglines just woke up to your feed, although I had finally broken down and started using Google Reader just for you and Chris.)

Mine broke once while waiting for a bus in Buffalo.
It was even worse when it broke in the middle of my office as I was standing there typing a label.
Note: Your feeds are finally working on Bloglines. I'll let Chris know too.

Hey, your back on bloglines!
Posted by Maribeth | January 20, 2008 2:12 PM
So?
Posted by Aimee Greeblemonkey | January 20, 2008 2:38 PM
Not so much fun. Mine broke in Target. I rushed to the bathroom and had to call my husband on his cell phone, who was still shopping in the store, to let him know we had a bit of a situation on our hands. I seriously wouldn't wish that on anyone.
Posted by Suzy | January 20, 2008 3:02 PM
That would certainly make you the talk of the party!
Posted by Frank | January 20, 2008 3:50 PM
You would only be so lucky!
With both of mine I dialated to a million and my water never broke. So? they stuck a plastic spear in me and broke it, def my least fave part of labor! I'm rootin for the natural breakage for you, let me know how it goes!
Posted by mymilabean | January 20, 2008 8:13 PM
Hey! Hey hey! I don't want to speak too soon, but Bloglines just told me you had 15 new posts! Maybe they are reading the feed again! Now that I am finally in the habit of checking the site.
Posted by Swistle | January 21, 2008 12:18 AM
It's too early for your water to break. He needs to stay in there a week or so more.
Posted by ckirby50 | January 21, 2008 9:22 AM
You made it through! :-)
Posted by S | January 21, 2008 12:38 PM
