Its a waiting game.

Emily is doing well still. Contractions are 1.5 – 2 minutes apart and pretty hefty. She’s bearing with them though and putting off the epidural. Water broke around 8 or 9 am (i think?) and that sped things up. She’s “relaxed” on an exercise ball for a while because the contractions seemed worse when she was laying down.
She’s pretty hungry right now and was relieved to find out she could eat 30 minutes after Sean joins us – as long as she keeps her juice down after the birth. I suggested that I could pick up some Jeff Ruby’s for her…but the nurse said we should stick to something easy like a sandwhich…shows you what I know 🙂
More later!
update: epidural is coming. we are now 5cm. 10:45am
