Anthony - I was drinking water when I read your post and I nearly spit up the entire mouthful on the computer screen. Thanks for the laugh! I could see myself doing the same thing. :)

Claudia - you're very welcome and thank you!

Robert - might need to bring my own flask. In fact, might want to add that to the birthing bag (making note to myself)

MarnaLou - we figure we'll get it placed when we get to 4 cm and then have them turn it off if Amanda's really comfortable (Ha!). That way, we still have the option of using it if she becomes more uncomfortable.
