11:00 pm Update from the Birth Center

Well here we still are.  Kristen, Jeff, and Emma are all doing wonderful! Kristen is now fully effaced, and dilated to 4 cm.  After 20 hours (several of those involving pitosin), she has decided that it's time for an epidural.  We are awaiting the anesthesiologist's arrival, and a bit of relief for Kristen from the constant pain. We'll let you know when the epidural is in place and she is resting a bit more comfortably.
