We are admitted to the hospital. So far the experience has not gone very well. Nicole's contractions are extremely uncomfortable. She has not dialated very much at all (just 2cm), so we have a long labor ahead. Its been a difficult night. It doesn't help that we she is already exhausted. Far from ideal.

Priority number one has been and always will be the safety and health of the baby, but it is hard not to be concerned for Nicole's comfort. I don't doubt the staff here is doing their best for the baby, but bedside manner for mothers here at SCH is lacking...
