Alright...Melissa's epidural has fully kicked in and she is on cloud nine!  She has finally been able to get comfortable and is loving life.  The nurse just barely checked her and she is dilated to a 4+.  That means in the last hour she dilated more than a centimeter!!  WOOT!! Hopefully that means she will progress fast from now on!  Thanks for everyones prayers and thoughts.  I will continue to keep you posted!
