Well, we've begun... The nurse started the Pitosin drip around 4:15 this morning and they have steadily increased the drip every half-hour. Around ___, the doctor came by to say hello and check things out. He confirmed suspicions that we may be in for a long day of it today and said he'd come back around lunchtime. At 9:__, Emily started to experience some of the discomforts associated with the contractions and we requested something to help with that. Only AFTER administering the Stadol did the nurse tell us that it wouldn't relieve the pain, but would help Emily to relax (which is fine) - the part that got us was that she then told us this would slow down labor progress... :( Ummm, tell us that SOONER next time please?!?!? Em wasn't hurting BAD; we just didn't see any reason to suffer through if she didn't have to. Oh well, now we know for next time!
Anyhow, here we are at 10 a.m. - taking things slow and steady. More updates to follow!!! :)
