After my water was broken at 6:30 they came and did my epidural - - it was AWESOME! MUCH stronger than what I had with Kylie - I barely felt any contractions all day which let sleep come easier! My blood pressure, however, did not think the epidural was so awesome and dropped slightly which made Gregory mad so they kept giving me meds to raise the blood pressure and make Greg happy but then couldn't give me the pitocin to speed along the pr...
