After 5 hours of 60 sec. contractions at 1 minute a part, Lindsey has dilated to 3 cm. and has had her epidural put in. I have never wanted to hug another man so bad in my life. It was like an angel had walked into the room when the anestheseologist came in. He put the epidural in and in about 10 minutes, Lindsey was feeling nothing. No contractions, no kicking, no nothing.

I have never been through something like this. It is definitely something I’ll never forget. Probably the most humbling terrifying experience I have ever been through. I cannot even put into words everything that we’ve been through thus far.

As I was typing this, the nurse came in and checked Lindsey. She is now at 4 cm. and station -1 which means the baby has moved even further down. She also explained that textbook-wise, she will dilate 1 cm. per hour which would put us at having the baby at 6:00PM tonight. Now I’m really excited.

So, that’s where we’re at right now. I’ll be posting as things progress.
