Things are looking good. Either the anesthesiologist last time missed the nerves, or something was drastically wrong, because for the past three hours Kristin hasn’t felt a darn thing. The pitocin is working well and the contractions are regular and Kristin doesn’t feel them. In-fact she keeps trying to scratch her leg, but can’t feel if she’s hitting the itch.

Were about stage 1-2 and the nurse expects to have him in arms in the next half hour.

Cool thing that we found out is that the hospital recently changed their policy that as soon as the baby is delivered, he’ll go straight on Kristin’s chest for a minimum of an hour before they even clean him up. The last time, mostly because of the trauma from the whol ordeal, she didn’t really want anything to do with Maddy until almost the next day or later that evening.

You’re almost home, buddy! Keep on truckin!
