MUSC update 2…

Did I mention that I love epidurals? Once the petocin drip was begun, the labor and delivery nurse asked me if I wanted to go ahead and have my epidural. I came into the hospital at 4cm, so there was no reason not to go ahead and get one!! Although, I have been having contractions for several months now, I have yet to feel any of them, and I’ll never have to!!

We have met so many wonderful people down here, and once again feel so confident in their abilities. Everyone is so kind and so compassionate! We are definitely blessed to have MUSC right here!

They say that Mary Clare is doing beautifully so far. She has been moving all night and her heart rate is perfect. Mel just woke up and has already managed to get to know most of the very large labor and delivery staff. My first L&D nurse, which happens to be a very beautiful, very young (most of the staff is, by the way), and talented nurse, even gave Mel scrubs. He has “wooed” everyone already …as usual.
