Epidural

The Epidural is on it’s way. yeah for drugs.

7 a.m.

Well things are going well, from the sense that the baby is moving along. Jill is very uncomfortable, but knows that this is all good now. They are not going to administer potosin to help speed things along now, since Jill is doing things on her own now. So we get to [...]

5 a.m.

Jill has had her second dose of Fentanyl. this is basically to take the edge off the contractions she is having since they are happening about every 1-2 minutes. They will be calling the doctor now to figure out what she wants to do now, but we should be starting Potosin in about [...]
