Cleared for arrival

HJ has been holding in a circling pattern, awaiting clearance for arrival.  Well, today at about 1pm Liz and I were picking up some groceries and her water broke.  Just a slow trickle.  No contractions.  We've been that way for about 8 hrs.  Liz has been baking cookies for the hospital staff, we went out to dinner, and we're just "preparing."  Our midwives want us to go in around 10 pm for a non-stress test.  If HJ and Momma are okay, we can head home for the early stages of labor.  Pretty sure the little fella will be born within the next 36 hrs.  We'll let you know.
