No Pain, All Gain

After having contractions for about three hours and trying to fight through the pain, we opted to get an epidural for Michelle. The process started about 5 PM, and took about 45 minutes to get everything done. She is still feeling the contractions a little bit, but is able to deal with the pain now. We are now waiting to get examined by the mid-wife and hopefully the labor will progress tonight quickly, and with much less pain. I feel a lot better now knowing Michelle can relax and not seeing her go through that intense pain. Stay tuned for more updates....
