It is now 6:48 A.M. on the next day and we are still at it. Crystal has been slowly moved up the Pitocin ladder and is now at the highest dose. She will remain on that dosage until nature makes things happen or they decide to break her water.
The night was awful until Crystal got an epidural at around 3:30 A.M. Despite some swings in blood pressure and vomiting, Crystal finally managed to get some rest. I slept on a pullout bed with a pillow over my head to block out the noise made by the heart monitor (it sounds like a mix between thunder and someone rubbing vinyl against vinyl). Certainly not the best sleep either of us have ever had but we are grateful for anything at this point.
Here are a few more images:
This is the foldout bed.
Crystal at 6:45 A.M., Tuesday morning. Poor thing.
Shot up every which way.
Contractions! Keep 'em comin'.
Ice chips. Food of champions...and women in delivery.
The staff here made signs for our boys.
