another update

mary's contractions became a lot more intense around 11 EDT so at the advice of her doctor and the RNs she decided to get an epidural to ease the pain and help improve her dilation. within a half hour or so, she went from 1 to 4 cm, so we're headed toward the home stretch. we've got a monitor on the baby's head now because there is some meconium present, and they want to watch him closely before he comes out, but the doctor feels good about everything and has asked mary to rest a bit for now. more soon.
