Well, its now Day 3. Beth is still having pretty strong contractions, and feels as though the baby has dropped more. So thats good. Also good is Beth's marked shift in mood. Up until this morning she's been handling her contractions with grace. Today she woke up, shall we say, a little crabby. I mean, can you blame her? But this is good news, despite the fact that I am the recipient of this crabbiness. The midwives say this is a sign that things may be progressing. and any progress at this point is welcome.
