no one has ever questioned kim's pain tolerance or her athletically inclined-ness. well, people may have questioned both of those assertions, but let me tell you, she has a very high pain threshold. earlier today her contractions were about 3 minutes apart lasting 45 seconds. she went on like that for 5 hours. that is 60 contractions that she rated 6-7 out of 10 on her pain scale. and didn't complain about it once.
when we were in the hospital they were concerned she would be over-tired for having to deal with that for another 10 hours. so they recommended she get an epidural. kim was against it because she knew she could stick out the pain, but eventually decided that saving energy for the end of the day was a good idea.
after making a new bff with the anesthesiologist, edwardo, kim was amazed by the epidural. i think her exact quote was, 'why would you bother with the pain when you can just have this? it's awesome.'
and there you have it. pain thresholds are great and all, but when you have chemistry on your side - you can't lose.
