At the hospital...

We are here! I was admitted at about 5pm. When checked I was 3cm and 50% effaced and baby is at -2 station. I can't have my epidural until I am 4cm, which thankfully is not that far away. I was able to get a shot of Nubain in my IV to take the edge off the pain and it is a LIFESAVER. I totally feel loopy and sleepy and have to keep correcting my typing because it's hard to see all that straight. But the contractions are totally bearable and I have been doing this visualization thing that they swell and recede. It really works pretty well. I am quite content at the moment.

Doctor wants me checked again at 7:30 to see if I am ready for that epidural. Happy Happy Joy Joy!
