Kathy is a Champ!

Kathy's contractions had slowly been getting stronger through the morning. Around 11:25 am our nurse, Jill, checked Kathy and she was already dilated 4 cm. Way to go! At 11:45 am, Kathy received an epidural which helped to dull the pain, but it did not remove it. 12:20 pm rolled around and Kathy was still having pain with her contractions. Right before 1:00 pm Kathy was put on oxygen, for Kinley's sake, and tried to take a nap. Unfortunately her contractions were keeping her awake. At 1:20 pm Kathy received her second epidural and this one worked perfectly. By 1:50 pm Kathy was at 7 cm and no pain during her contractions.
