Hope you get this before she gets here. I am thinking about you and am
so happy for you. You can make it through the pain. I won't tell you
not to do the epidural, but I did it both ways and if you can go
without, you will be very happy. Sorry to hear you HMO is such a pain,
I work for one and we have multiple facility for just your reason. Tell
Pete to keep us posted, I know you have both waited a long time for
this. Just one more bit of advise, you've had it before, sleep when she
sleeps, it will make a world of difference and you won't miss anything.
