One Final Post

Dana is the world's strongest woman - at least for a day. She was in labor from 1:00am thru 8:00pm straight. After a couple showers, multiple trips in and out of a bathtub, and excruciating pain, Dana was at about 4cm. The doctor broke the "bag of waters" around 5:30pm, and the contractions and pain tripled from that point on. We made a decision to go with the epidural - which kicked in at 8:00pm.

Dana was so relieved - after 19 hours of VERY painful labor, the epidural took the pain away and progressed labor nicely. In less than one hour, she went from 4cm to almost 5cm...and contractions keep coming.

Pastor Dave was gracious enough to stop by. As Dana slept, Kristoffer got some much needed food. Dave was a good pastor - but even greater friend in helping us out and letting me get away for just a few minutes.

We are now in wait mode. The only question...will he be born before or after midnight? Probably after...but time will tell. God was definitely with us thanks to your prayers! Only a few hours left before the baby is here. I am going to take one little nap before Dana's next check-up at 10:45.
