They are going to attempt the epidural again.  Cassie is really nervous and wasn't even sure that she wanted an epidural anymore.  The nurse and anesthesiologist had to convince her that it would be easier to attempt the epidural now when she can help guide them in the placement instead of waiting until the pain is unbearable when she won't really be able to help.  They are also considering breaking her bag pretty soon because that should help speed things up.  After the epidural they are going to check her cervix and make the determination if they can break the bag yet.
