We have moved on to a 5!! At 80%. So we are seeing progress!

We are at a 4!!! Slowly making it!...If you tracking with Caroline. We labored for 15.5 hours! We are now into hour 9. Allison is doing great. Wyatt is doing great!! The best news is that last time she was so "drugged up" she didn't experience Caroline's birth. This time Alli is fully aware which is awesome. We have moved on to our 3rd nurse Rachel. She is great. If you are fan of FRIENDS, remember the episode when Rachel was giving birth to Emma? She started to get frustrated because 6 ladies checked in delivered and were gone before her. That is what is happening to us. I think the count is 4 right now!

Water has broken!!! We are putting all the internal monitors inside. We are at a 3. To quote nurse Karen, "You don't care who the doctor is to deliver, he could be the janitor, as long as he can get the baby out." Try that in your deep southern smoker woman voice. Again, no pictures for you because this is a PG audience...For the record, trip #2 to McDonald's. First trip, was chicken Mcnuggetts. They taste the same as they did when i was 10. Lunch was cheeseburger and fries. Please bring a chick-fil-a sandwhich is you are going to stop by.

Everything is great. Allison is doing fine. We are waiting for the doctor to come back in to check her any minute. Contractions every 2 minutes, epidural is in and we are feeling good. Hopefully, I will have some thing to report. Now, I am off to find lunch.
