Getting ready to push

We are getting ready to push. I'll keep things going soon

Making Progress

Well in the last two hours we have gone from 3.5cm to 7.5 cm. Things have started to progress, there is a lot of pressure and some discomfort even with the epidural. I would like to think that in the next few hours we will be pushing this little bugger out. I'll keep you posted.

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.
