Babywatch: Liveblog Part 7

16:36 Holy crap 9 cm!

Jess was complaining that she was hurting a little more, and we had given the epidural button a couple of pushes. The nurse came in to check and it turns out that Jessie is at 9 cm! Out of nowhere! No wonder she’s feeling a little uncomfortable. Also, he’s definitely dropped into position. The excitement level has shot up from ‘mom still napping’ to ‘oh, man, so excited!’ Jess is eating some ice chips to store up ‘energy’ because before too long now, there’s going to be some pushing and then a BABY!
