We got to the hospital at 7:00 this morning and the doctors put Melissa on a pitosin drip to dilate her. The doctor broke her water around 12:30, and she got an epidural right after that. That made her a little sick, but she's better now. Her mom just showed up, and she's sleeping now.

She hasn't dilated much, so it'll be a while before she delivers. The doctor had told us it might go over into Friday.

Oh, and Fort Sanders supposedly doesn't have public wi-fi, but I found an unsecured wireless network. The connection is pretty weak, so it could be from the building across the street. Hooray for insecure networks! They provide me with a job and a free wireless connection just when I need it.
