Progress Report

I spoke with Clare around 11:30 am (PST), when she was having fairly strong contractions. It sounded like it hurt and she described it as feeling like really harsh cramps.

Ross just called to say that the doctors have given Clare an epidural. The contractions were getting very painful and more frequent and he said Clare is super tough, but he thought she held out longer than she needed to. Now they're working on taking it easy and trying to rest before the big action hits. Clare is five centimeters dilated and fully effaced.

Ross also said that Bucky is doing great. Bucky's heart rate is at normal levels and the baby is in the right place in the birth canal. Right now, the doctors are expecting Bucky to make an appearance any time between 8:00 pm and midnight, EST.
