Labor Update

The epidural is in...Jessa says to mention that T Stanley was right.

The pain got to be pretty unbearable, and the staff all thought she was ready to push, but when they checked she was only 6cm...too small to push. She was ready to push, but it would have been bad to push, so the epidural was kind of necessary to keep her from pushing too soon.

So for now we're chilling, watching Jessa grin.

Hey can I be dumb and ask who T Stanley is????

Eric said...

This just in from Jessa...there are no pictures which are approved for distribution. So in the next post I'll try to get one from earlier in labor.

Is T Stanley related to Flat Stanley, by chance?

And what? You're not all made-up, hair perfectly coiffed, knitting blue booties in your pink, quilted bed jacket? What kind of a laboring mother *are* you?!

I don't know what contractions feel like, but if you've been crying I've been doing a good bit of sympathy crying. I'm wander around the office, randomly crying. When asked why, I just answer..."my friend is in labor."

OK, now I feel like I might consider this whole labor thing...if Jessa says do the epidural, then it must be OK!
