So the cervadil didn't work and the pitocin drip yesterday didn't do much so the doctor decided to give your mom a break and take her off the pitocin for the evening and start things back at 3am. We ordered dinner and watched a little TV before turning in to bed. Another night on this horrible hospital chair bed thing.
This morning I woke up to see that your mom had been on pitocin for about 4 hours. Mild contractions but still nothing to heavy. Around 9ish the doctor showed up and decided to rupture the amniotic sac to speed things along. Once that was done your mom's contractions definitely started increasing in strength! Finally some progress!
Around noon she had finally dilated enough that they were comfortable with giving her the epidural. Not a moment too soon might I add cause those contractions were really starting to hurt her. I didn't like seeing her in that much pain and not being able to do anything about it.

So now here I sit while your mom naps updating you on the whole process. My dad pointed out the irony that this weekend is LABOR Day weekend. You are certainly putting the Labor into it. Things are looking good though and after a day we are seeing progress so the hopes are that you'll be born tonight.
Just in time too. If you are born tomorrow then you have to wait an additional year to start school. Bummer, right?
Love,
Dad
