The epidural has arriven.
After, oh, countless (fourteen I think) hours of labor Val went ahead and got the epidural. She is currently four centimeters dialated — which is about .29 centimeters per hour. I hear tell it gets quicker from here on out.
Our crazy baby has show a rather forthright dislike for “strong labor” so in the even that we’ll have to go the ol’ c-section route its better to have the epidural befor hand. So in a couple of minute Val will have dead legs and won’t be able to chase me around the room when I say mean things about her.
Hurrah!
Also the best part was when the Scottish anesthesiologist came in and said hello, Valerie acusingly asked “And where are you from?” I swear the Catrows aren’t xenophobes!

Congrats on the epidural. Although it ruins the whole up and moving around thing… it will make things so much easier to handle from here on out. My thoughts are with you guys!
Hooray for hospital drugs!!!!
good point Leah, we do what we can. it’s a bit heartwrenching to not be able to be there and share in your joy face to face, so we’re glad to be represented by someone who will make Val’s life much more comfortable!
