Key word was were.
Since 9:00 Sara has been on Pitocin and every half hour the dosage went up.
The labor from 9 to 1:15 was tough and couldn't have been handled without the support of Sara's great friend and doula Janie. I thought this morning that it takes a village to raise a child and Janie is certainly one of the villagers.
As the contractions got stronger Sara made the decision to have an epidural.
A wonderful anesthesiologist came in and described the entire process before and as he was going through it and within minutes Sara got wonderful relief.
Still no baby... and we figure we are still on for later this evening.
But we do know he has hair thanks to Rachel's long reach :)
More to come later...

Glad to hear those Brownies to the nurses paid off and you were able to score your epidural! No need to suffer and good to know you'll be able to enjoy your birthing experience MUCH better now!
Hang in there you two are doing GREAT!

Yeah, Sara and Steve! You're getting so close to welcoming your little one into this amazing world.
It's been really fun (and quite an honor)to be a part of your journey!
Can't wait to FINALLY know what the Baby's name is!
Lots of love to you both,

Hang in there baby!
We are all pushing for you.
Well,I know that you ready to have this labor and delivery behind both of you, and have Janie take a picture of the two proud parents and their new son. I'm sure that you will be too busy celebrating to get back to the blog very quickly, but there are a lot of us waiting to see that the blessed event has taken place. I hope that Janie gives you each a big hug for all of us. It's so great that you have let us each share in the excitement via this blog. Love, Linda M.
