9:22 Another quick break
Jess was having some nice, semi-regular contractions for a while there, but less so, now. At least, according to the monitors. She’s still feeling something, and they’re slowly cranking up the induction drug bit by bit to help her ramp up. She’s definitely got some ‘uncomfortable-face’ going on, but nothing dramatic and painful yet. I’ve been reading to her to pass the time and let her relax her eyes and her...everything else, really. I do my best. Hopefully the real labor will start pretty soon and we can get on our way to helping Tyler get out.

11:25 Off to the races
We’re definitely in labor now. The contractions are periodic and regular, and Jess is pretty miserable. I’m doing my best with breathing and looking into her eyes. Not much more to report past that. We’re considering epidurals, and I think we’ve sent for the anesthesiologist. Other than that, we’re just trying to get through each contraction as it comes, offering Jess whatever support I can give to her.

Sounds like you are both doing a good job at your important roles today.
Can you give us clues about how far along she is? Should I sit on my hands for a while, or is it cool if I keep fake working and staring at my phone??
I think it will be several hours yet. Last we were told, she was at 3 cm. You start pushing at 10 cm, but the first 4 or 5 take the longest.
