6 am, just a little more comfortable

Good morning everyone. Well I should have listened to my coworker and enjoyed last nights sleep just a little bit more. Its been a long night, Chrissy probably doesn't remember much since she took an Ambient about 10pm.
The drugs they have been giving Chrissy to ripen her cervix have stimulated her body into going into labor by itself. I guess around 1 am Chrissy's water broke, not nearly as gross as you think its going to be, actually it was a little funny seeing it happen to a drugged up pregnant woman. Since that time though Chrissy's contractions have been increasing and getting stronger. The contractions at around 5:30 am had been running at about every 3 minutes. Chrissy decided then to get her epidural. She seems to be feeling great now, and She is sleeping a whole lot better too. Just before the epidural the measured her again Chrissy was measuring about 4 cm dilated and more effaced, I guess that's more from the 70% she was earlier. With the way things are looking they may not need to use pitocen.

There is the scoop from 6 am February 20th
