kaitlyn grace bowden has entered the world. details to follow.

we’re now at a 9, so things are starting to pick up. we may start here in 30-60 mins.

not much news here. we’re a 5, so the pitocin has been upped. we’re playing and reading with hannah to pass the time.

the doc is now here for the epidural. dana said this was more pain than she had with hannah since the epi was put in sooner. pretty heavy contractions starting according to the monitor. should be much better soon!

pain is more of a factor now. the anesthesiologist is a bit delayed by a c-section, but dana says he needs to speed it up. contractions are faster and harder. hanging in there, though.
