The doctor broke Kara's waters about a half hour ago long with upping the pit. Contractions are rolling one on top of another right now. Michael and I are trying to be very supportive. She has decided she will need an epidural. She is in the cue but it maybe a long wait. Its so hard seeing her in pain right now. Brings tears to your eyes. Michael is quick to try to make a joke to brighten her up. Or asks her to make comparisons of pain. For example does it hurt as bad or worse than a fall while snowboarding at Winter Park? I asked her about some old soccer injuries but she is saying nothing compares to this. So we are patiently waiting for the anesthesiologist trying to support her and give her words of encouragement.
