Well, I'm back to give you all an update on our progress!  :)  From 8am to 11am my water was broke and I was walking around trying to get labor started and progressing.  When the resident finally came in and checked me, she said I was at 5cm, 70% effaced, and -2 station.  Not a whole lot of change since I got here this morning.  So I told them I was ready to start the pitocin and that they could get the epidural ready as well.  Hooking up the pitocin iv took no time at all.  It took a little longer to get the epidural ready, but I still never felt any contractions as bad as what I had when I went in with Avery.  ;)  I now have the epidural in place and working.  Things are going very well.  I feel comfortable (and hungry) and am thinking I might take a nap here soon.  :)  Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers, today could not be going any better!  :D
