Seriously, drugs are awesome! The epidural is in. She had another hit of stadol around 11:30 pm and decided that it was no longer enough. She was at 4 cm dilated at that time. They got the epidural in around 12:25 am. She was really scared about getting it (did I mention that she hates needles), but she did great. Throughout the pregnancy, she and I both just want to know what to expect. Jayme and the anesthesiologist were great about telling her exactly what to expect and she did great. It took about 5 minutes to take effect and, man, that is some good stuff!
Contractions are still cruising right along...typically 2-3 minutes apart. But now she isn't really feeling them. She can feel the pressure, but no real pain at all...just like they say in the book! She's VERY happy now.
Moms (Liner & Corn) have left for the evening to go home and sleep. Melissa is now taking a little nap and I will rest some too.
