Sunday, 5:00 p.m. Update

34 hours into it. Not much happening. Still taking the pills every 4 hours. I've taken 2 doses of Phenternel (sp?) - pain meds, just when I needed to sleep. I don't like the way it makes me feel. I refuse an epidural- those things are evil (for me)! Anne (Dr.) has put in a "foley cath" in it is in my uterus to help open up my cervix (I think it gives extra weight to help it open). I was checked at 2:00 and was a "2" and 90% effaced. We've walked every hall close by and even ventured outside for a few minutes- it was cold but refreshing. The walls have beautiful quilts framed and hanging on them. There is one that is so beautiful I might just steal it. Ironically one of my neighbors helped make it.
