Oh Chris. It must be so hard for you to wait at the house with the girls while Laura is at the hospital. What a hard choice to make but probably the best one for all.

Birthing Update

Laura called at 7 AM to let me know her progress.  She said the doctor arrived and checked her up, she is only 4 cm by his estimates and that he will check back in with her in 2 hours.  She told me she already wants the epidural, despite mentioning yesterday about not wanting to "wimp out."  I told her to do what is best for her and the baby, and if she wants it, get it.  She told me that her next chance to get it will be in 2 hours when the doctor comes back to check her.  She has a hard time talking and has to take breaks and breathers every 3 to 5 minutes to labor.  She said the pain is more intense than she remembered.  She is determining what she wants us to do.  On one hand, she doesn't want to leave the girls, but she also doesn't want them to watch her in so much pain.  We should know more closer to the next update.
