But I Didn't Ruin The Bed!

by Kay
(Prairie Village, KS USA)

We moved into our home when I was 8 months pregnant with our second child.

(I recommend this to all pregnant women; you don't have to do anything!)

We bought all new furniture for our living room, and I wanted to buy a new bed, but my husband wanted me to wait until after the baby was born, as I was barely off the bed when my water broke with my first child and he didn't want to ruin a new mattress.

My husband was playing softball the night I went into labor; he was playing a double header, and, although I told him to play both games, as I felt fine, he came home after the first game.

I was sitting on the new couch waiting for him to come home and five minutes later, my water broke - on the new couch!

He took a quick shower, and took me to the hospital - sitting on several towels so I wouldn't ruin the leather on his new car!

Both my boys came within a few hours after my water broke, so my husband went home early the next morning to get someone to the house to clean the new couch!
