    Woke up, made this face --> (5am) and ran to the bathroom leaving a trail of fluid behind me, *TMI* smelt fluid thought "ew" and "smells like semen"
    Then waited for DF to wake up and realise I wasn't there while still leaking like a burst water main. Then he cleaned up the "trail" (haha sucker) and called the hossy, finished packing bags and went in for a check up.
    Got sent home to wait for contractions, so had a snack at the shops, got some accupuncture to get things going, get lunch on the way home (freak out whoever asked when I was due by telling them my waters broke already lol).
    Spent the afternoon watching movies while waiting for regular contractions that never came.
    When I was getting to uncomfortable at home we went to hossy, the drive was horrible as MIL seemed to think we were in a huge hurry and every (very hard or at least it felt like it) acceleration triggered a contraction.

    Lol Um... Got a bit carried away there, sorry, but that's how it went- I'm kinda amazed I remember every little detail, especially since I cant remember yesterday or any other day of the last 11 and a half months
