A Weird Way to Wake Up in the Morning

I know a lot of you have heard the news, but now that I'm settled into a room with my trusty lappy (Glenn managed to pack not one, but two laptops this morning) I wanted to just give everyone a rundown on the day's events.
This 4:00 this morning I was having a weird dream where I kept hearing doors shutting and then I suddenly awoke. About 20 seconds later I felt a gush of fluid. In our birth class they said that most of the time most women had more of a leak or a trickle, but this was definitely a gush. That's about the time I went into shock. I remember saying, "Wait, I could have a baby today?"
Ironically last night the last thing we talked about was what I needed to pack and the plan was I was going to do it today. Thanks to this I didn't have to do much directing and Glenn was able get most everything we needed together quickly. We left as soon as we could and got to the hospital around 5:40. We were thankful for the lack of traffic and precipitation and made really good time. Good thing I finished all that paperwork yesterday!
Dr. Maly met us at the hospital and we spoke briefly after we got to our room. He will be working with another doctor who does more of the higher risk stuff. We met lots of nurses and everyone was so great. They had me on the baby monitor for hours and are really happy with her heart rate. It took them 6 tries to get my IV in because my veins refused to cooperate and finally got in a smaller one that they will have to eventually replace. My arms look like I've seen time on the battlefield and I have bruises and band-aids all over. Apparently I have a high pain tolerance and they nurses were impressed by how still I could hold while they were torturing, I mean helping, me. Lucky me...I guess.
They did some tests and confirmed that I have a slight infection starting which is probably why my water broke. They started me on antibiotics and steroids. They did an ultrasound that confirmed the Olivia was looking good and this is also when we learned that she is in the breech position. Thanks to this they are scheduling me to have a c-section on Friday. This was not what I was hoping to hear at all, but at least now we know. Olivia will most likely spend 2-3 weeks in the hospital if all goes well.
I got to take a quick nap before a tour of the NICU and getting settled into a new room in the OB section. They let me change back into my sweats and t-shirt and I am much more comfortable now. Beats a hospital gown any day!
The weird thing is that other than the fact that I am still leaking some amniotic fluid I feel pretty much normal. Well, as normal as you can feel in this kind of situation I guess. It's funny that I was 7 weeks early and now I'm going to deliver 7 weeks early. I even joked about it last week but I never really thought it would happen. I guess I can get that Baby's First Christmas ornament for 2009 after all. This waiting thing is not my strong suit and knowing that I'll be in here for probably at least 5 days isn't my favorite plan. Having to figure out what we'll do once I'm discharge
The one thing that is overwhelming to me is the amount of love, support, and prayers we have coming our way. Facebook has been such a blessing (who thought they'd ever hear that?) and I'm so grateful for all of you that have been posting and/or asking for prayers on your own statuses. Thank you also for those that have called or texted. It means a lot to know that we have so many people in our corner! We still have a lot of things to go through and a lot of things to figure out about how we'll manage after Olivia is born but I'm not freaking out. I have awesome family, awesome friends, and an even more awesome God.
