Baby K has decided that he wants to come out the day before Groundhog Day. We ran into an unfortunate incident - where Dana's epidural stopped working around 11:15. After having normal contractions (and 100% of the pain that goes with them), she received an increased dosage and a couple of big "shots" of epidural pain medication.
As I write this (12:30am on Monday), she is resting - with no more pain. Which is good... She was progressing until the pain started around 11:15 - and we have been stalled since. The doctor said that we should see some significant improvement within the hour. If the baby's not here by 5:00am, then we will have to move to "plan B"...
But...the doctor doesn't think that will be the case. She just thinks that Baby K is pretty big - making labor and delivery more difficult than normal. Another update in a couple hours...
Hang in there! It will all be worth it!!! Love you!
