Happy Times Return!

After several hours, it was once again time to assess our progress. With active labor well under way, we were expecting some pretty significant changes. Unfortunately, that was just wishful thinking. Stacy had only gained a cm. We were now half way there, but there was still along road a head of us.

After some careful consideration, we decided now would be the time to get an epidural to ease the pain of the contractions. It made a night and day difference for Stacy as misery turned to relaxation. I think it helped us all relax a little.
