Kylee Ann Wehrman was born at 7:30. She weighs 8 lbs, and is 20 in long. 

She's at a 9!

She's been struggling the last few hours with the epidural not working but we finally have some progress!
Hopefully the next update will be soon and be a birth announcement.
Continued prayers, as always, are appreciated.

Update from Emma

Ok so here's the deal. My doctor said to take me off the pitocin about 1 pm to see how my body would do on its own (because it wasn't needing a high dose of it anyway to have some good contractions.) They kept up for a while so I decided to get my epidural then. They weren't unbearable yet but I was starting to get so fatigued from lack of sleep that I decided a nap was in order.

While waiting for the anesthesiologist, the contractions became very mild. Then he came in and the "fun" began! He couldn't find the right spot and had to use lots of numbing shots, and I had shooting pains in my back most of the time. After a while, I started shaking and couldn't stop. Then, the nurse asked Greg if he was ok. Apparently he was white as a sheet (from not eating) and he was nauseous and had to sit down. After being unsuccessful in finding the right spot in my back for probably 10 minutes or so, he had me lay on my side, and thankfully found it pretty fast on that side. Then after everyone left, I cried. But, praise God, the epidural is working to make the contractions pain-free (although I can still feel and move my legs...weird!)

Since then I have had to be hooked back up to pitocin because my contractions totally subsided. However, I know God was watching over me with the break in pitocin. There is absolutely no way I would have made it through the epidural sessions with the contraction pain I was feeling before they stopped the pitocin, so I know it was no accident that I was taken off of it for a while.

Thank you for your prayers; I can definitely feel them!!!

Watch Out!

Am I the only one that thinks it's funny that I'm a "fall risk?"

"Help, I've fallen and I can't get up!"

Update #2

She's still pregnant.  They stopped the Pit to see if she'd still progress, since she wanted to try and go natural but she's too uncomfortable and just asked for an epidural.  She's really needing some rest.  Hopefully (her hopes) once the Epi's in place they will restart the pit and get things moving along so this doesn't "take all day."

Before the "Pit" kicked in!

1st Update

Well, for all you who are waiting and wondering...Emma didn't get hooked up to Pitocen (I have no idea how to spell that word!) until about 9am, but it started working right away and progressed her contractions to 2-3 minutes.  They just broke her water (11:15), but I didn't get an update on whether the Pit actually caused any cervix progress :( 

That's all I know right now!
