We're getting very excited to see you and are so close! Kelly and I have been at the hospital for 10 hours now. Things are moving along well, although slowly, but everyone got a lot happier when your mom got the epidural.
The contractions were getting pretty bad for a bit, but Nurse Julie got someone in right away and I didn't have to use any of my planned strategies of getting the epidural guy in the room. Googling the epidural guy and getting to know his likes/dislikes so I could lure him into Kelly's room was one of them, glad I didn't have to use that one since Kelly is the real professional googler. Since then, it's just been watching some movies and feeding Kelly jello, popsicles and ice because contrary to what we thought when we bought her all the candy, she isn't allowed to eat anything. Nurse Julie pretended not to notice the jello since that's technically not a clear liquid, so she got on our good side pretty quickly.
Well, we may have a long day ahead of us still, but from the looks of the contractions it looks like progress is being made and I'm glad Kelly can't feel them anymore because they are literally off the charts. We can't wait to see you baby girl!
Love,
Aunt T
