labor & delivery update

We have been at the hospital since 7:00am. Malia is getting great care from the nurses and staff. I am becoming reacquainted with my chair/bed. Malia is on a steady diet of Pitocin and ice chips. At the last check she was about 5cm dialated and 90% effaced. Contractions are becoming more intense and she is looking forward to her epidural after lunch. Things seem to be moving much quicker this time. If we are lucky that means an eight hour labor instead of twenty.
