Update #1

Hello All, this is Amanda's friend Kristen. I spoke with her a little while ago and have a quick update. She went to the hospital around 4:30 and they found that she was about 2 cm dilated. A little before 9:00 she was already 4cm dilated. She sounded comfortable and said that the contractions were no worse than bad menstrual cramps. She and C had done a little walking around to try to speed things along, which seems to be working. They are hoping to avoid having to use Pitocin. I will update as soon as I get any more information.
