Well, Leigh is having stronger contractions and more regular, about 2 minutes apart. I'm watching this chart to see how 'big' they are. The bottom graph is measuring the tension of her uterine muscles and the ones that go up steeply are the ones that feel the biggest to Leigh. The top graph is the baby's heartbeat monitor and its been sitting around 130 bpm for hours.


They've started getting to the point where they take her breath away, but evidently not to the point where she can't update her facebook status...I waited to take this picture until one was just beginning...typing away!


Leigh has decided that since she's been here for 3 days, she's going to go with an epidural but is waiting as long as possible and wants to get checked before she gets it so she knows how dilated she was when she got it.
