The third inning

Pre-registered, checked-in and now situated in our room, we decided to walk the halls for what seemed to be hours. Well, I guess it did last a few hours! Amanda and I began walking the halls off an on around 1:30 am. By 2 am, she was still just 2 cm dilated, but was 90% effaced.

Earlier this week on Tuesday, Amanda went to the doctor's who told her that she was 70-80% effaced. All that time had passed -- including laboring at home -- and we only gained that?!

We walked the halls until 3:30 am or so. She was experiencing some good back labor and, by then, it was getting to the point where walking around wasn't helping any more. Time for some medication!
