Hanging in there

Well for the first time since around 8ish Joanna is finally able to sleep. She was given the epidural and that seemed to help with the pain for a while, then it got strange. Depending on what side Joanna was laying on the other side could feel the contractions. Of course these are what we call "chart toppers". I came up with that name because when you look at them on the screen they are at the top line.

They came back in and checked the epidural and then gave her a little extra boost. For the time being that worked and like I said Joanna is asleep. She is already exhausted and we have not even gotten close to pushing. She and I both agree that Ruth needs to come on out after about 20 min of pushing. Of course she has been difficult so far so I am not sure this will be any different.

Not sure when they will come and check her again but once we have any additional news I will update you all. Thanks for the e-mail and texts, sorry if we are not responding but know Joanna is getting them and appreciates you all!!
