Got the laptop hooked up, but frankly, the phone blogging is way more fun! ;) Glad you all are enjoying the live blogging... I'm having fun doing it! So far, things are SO much better than last time. I have a GREAT epidural... I can feel my legs (mostly), but not my belly or anything else in between. I'm so much more comfortable in general... it helps that I don't have to lay on my left side the whole time.

The contractions are being augmented with pitocin, which has my contractions down to two minutes apart. They were a little concerned briefly because the baby's heartrate was going down with the contractions, which could mean Too was laying on the cord. But some shuffling around of my position seems to have cured that.

As I posted before, my doctor came in to try and break my water, but apparently I have a reallllllly strong waterbag or something because she couldn't do it! She's going to try again in a bit and hopefully (cross your fingers) that will get things going a little faster...

My mom, my brother and Tom's parents are here. They are in and out...

My nurse is awesome and SO sweet. She's here until 7, so hopefully, she'll be the one here for the delivery too. :)
She also said she had no problem with Tom's mom staying for the delivery, so she's pretty happy.

Stay tuned for more updates!! Woohoo!

p.s. Val, I did NOT get the corner room. It's CROWDED here.... and the nurse dodged my question about maybe ending up inthe dreaded West Wing. Shoot. I'll let you know. ;) OH! And they let you drink water during labor now! Woohoo!
