So, Jayme (the nurse) says that stadol is liking drinking a six pack in 2 seconds. Wow! I asked for a hit for myself, but she said no.
Melissa had the first dose at 10:00 and another about 11:15. She can have it once per hour. It definitely has helped. The contractions are still pretty rough, but she says that it's definitely better with drugs. Contractions are pretty consistent. Roughly 2 minutes apart. Still no epidural. She is being SO strong! They checked her around 10:00 and she was between 2 and 3 cm dilated. (Is that too much information here?)
Anyway, she's a real trooper. Her Mom and my Mom are both here. They will probably stay for a little while and then head to our house to get some sleep. Neither want to leave, but they'll need their rest too! Melissa's Dad is at the house with the dogs (our 3 plus their 2), so the dogs are very happy! Jayme still says that the baby won't be here until tomorrow morning sometime. Her shift ends at 7 am...she says it's 50/50 that the baby will be here before the end of her shift. We'll see. Stay tuned...

I agree that the dad should get his share of the drugs as well. Your getting blamed for everything so you should get some of the benefit. Keep the posts coming. We are checking every hour here in Charlotte.
