Lost network access upstairs and I got kicked out, I'll explain in a moment...got to keep this short as there's not much time:

2:10 ML had her next pelvic exam and decision was made to rupture her membranes.
2:11 ML had lots of pain after the exam, as has been the case with all of them.
2:15 ML had her membrane ruptured ("snagged-her-bag" to use the parlance)
2:17 ML starts having SIGNIFICANT increase in pain with contractions, but is being stoic about it
2:19 EG talks ML into hitting the nurse-call-button and saying, "I'm ready for my epidural, please."
2:19.30 ML does exactly what I tell her for the first time EVER.
2:30 EG gets kicked out while the place the epidural
2:40 EG starts writing this blog while talking with fellow resident down in Radiology
Richie will almost certainly be born today!...I hope for ML's sake, at least.
