Another Dialation Check

The student puts her at 9cm, and the nurse puts her at 9cm. It looks like we have a tie this time. Linda is on her way to the hospital. The game of hand and foot is getting closer, but Heather is still winning. I have a feeling, if I have a really good hand, Heather is going to start feeling the contractions more and the game will stand the way it is now.

Dialation Check

The nurse has a student working with her, so Heather gets to play guinee pig. The student says 5cm dialated. The nurse says 6cm. We are going with what the nurse says, since it's the bigger number. Heather is winning hand and foot by much more now. I'm pretty sure she's cheating.

Bring on the drugs

Contractions are getting stronger and closer together. Everything seems to be progressing well. The epidural is in. Heather is winning our game of hand and foot, but only because she got the count right.

At the Hospital

They broke Heather's water around 8:30 this morning and put her on Putosin. Now we are just in the waiting game. She is starting to have contractions, but she is not to the point where she is screeming for drugs yet.
