Another update - more details

Without dwelling on the details, it is 5:30 AM as I type this and still no baby.. We are both really tired now, but excited to hear that Heather has opened to 7cm and that the baby continues to drop.
Thankfully she got hooked up to the epidural early, before they gave her pitocin so she has been able to sleep and she told me that she felt much better after sleeping.

The baby is showing some slight signs of stress -- the doctors are on it and if it continues they might -- might -- have to do a C-section. They are tapering a bit on the pitocin to see what her contractions do on their own.

The latest word is that the baby monitor is showing good signs after the took her off the pitocin and inflated her with a little extra water to pad the baby.
