Petossin, Epidurals and Protein Bars

So, we’re sitting here in the hospital, epidural plugged in and Lady-Friend under the effects of its liquid magic. While she’s skipping through fields of posies and receiving butterfly kisses from the cute and cuddly creatures of  the enchanted kingdom of Lala, I’ll lay out the day’s history.

We arrived at 8 am this morning, Pitocin and Penicillin were introduced about 8:30 am and water was manually broken at about 1:30 pm. Now it’s just waiting for game-time. Of course, we’ve both had to sweat through some discomfort in the seven hours since arrival. While Lady-Friend is enduring some nice contractions and the anxiety of enduring discomfort that will go misunderstood by 50% of the population, I’ve had to endure a steady diet of protein bars and water.

Yeah, I know. Brutal!

Meanwhile, Little Sis is on her way… sometime.
