Slow and steady

Things have started to move a little, its 4:45 and we are finally 90% and about 3 cm dilated. We were able to get some rest after the epidural and now feel a little better. Christina is still doing well. Her spirits are higher now, she feels like she can still do it and hopefully in a few hours we will be getting close. Thats all for now

Epidural

Well folks its about 2 am and the contractions got the best of us. Christina decided that she needed an epidural. The doctor came in and gave it to her about 5 minutes ago. Things are going better now. Hopefully we will be able to get some rest so that when pushing times come around we can make it. I'm hoping that in the next few hours he will be here with us. I'll let you know whats going on soon...

Slow Labor

Not much has changed. She has started to thin out but labor has taken its tole on us. We are really tired and wish things would speed up!! Still at 2 cm and about 75%. I'm trying to keep spirits up and will do my best to help the labor process.

Labor Sucks

Christina's labor has started to really pick up the last 20 minutes or so. We have had to work on our breathing and staying relaxed. Well back to it.

No News

No real news to relay. Everything is going slow. The contractions are starting to pick up a little. Pain is increasing, they are around about 4-5. We checked about an hour ago to see how things have progressed and we were still at about 2cm. I'll keep things as up to date as possible.

Pain

The contractions have started to get stronger. They are now starting to be uncomfortable. Christina is doing well. The baby will not sit still to save his life. They are having a hard time monitoring him because of it. Everyone is still here, my Mom, Christina's Mom, Sabrina, and Ashley. Things haven't get hectic yet the nurse did say that when things get going everyone has to be out!! Be back in a little while with some more news.

Contractions

Still here in the hospital. Contractions are about 2 - 3 minutes apart. Christina is still not having any problems. The pain is very minimal and I haven't really had to do much. The nurse just upped the pitocin to try to intensify the contractions and speed this process along I will let everyone know if anything changes!!!
