Or expanding, rather. They had to re-do the epidural, and it appears to be much better again. Dilated at 6cm. She’s almost here!

Epidural, sweet epidural. They’ll be kicking up the pitocin pretty soon. Heidi and the baby are doing great! Now my job is to have the chapstick ready at all times.

Contractions are steady at 3-4 minutes, and she’s having back labor… my duties continue!

I now have a duty: back counter pressure! The contractions are definitely picking up… about 4 minutes apart. Judging by Heidi’s breathing during the, I think it’s safe to rate them at a solid 7, if not higher.

Forget about pitocin to induce labor, just order some “medium” spicy curry from Gandhi Mahal! I don’t even want to imagine what “hot” spicy curry would have done. Yes, ladies and gents, Heidi’s water has finally broke. It broke as she was standing up from the table at Gandhi Mahal last night at about 9pm. However, don’t get too excited yet… still only 1-2 centimeters dilated, and the contractions are just now starting to be about 6 minutes apart, but they are getting stronger (6-7 on the pain scale). She will be getting some pitocin to try and get things moving a little more consistent and faster. Still looking at “a while” before things really start happening.

Well me and the spawn were back to the doctor this morning. She’s doing great. Passed her tests just fine. My blood pressure is up, but they’re going to let us wait it out until next Monday to Induce again. We’ll be 3 weeks past were they wanted me to go, so they will not let us leave on Monday without having baby. So she has 7 days to make it happen! Meanwhile “Baby Mug Hanzely” is keeping the crib toasty.
