Ever closer

My beautiful wife is sleeping peacefully right now. It is much needed sleep for her as she has already been through so much. As for me, having a tough time sleeping. Just took a nice hot shower and I am having a Miller light. Hopefully this will relax me enough to get a little shut eye.

The Dr's just came in and checked Liz's cervix again. This, comes an hour after the Nurse set Liz's Pitocin input to max again. Apparently this worked as Liz is now dilated to 10 cm. Our daughter still has not dropped all the way. She was at negative 1, and the Dr's want her at plus 5. They said they could manually get her when she is at plus 3, but Liz and I dont want them to pull her out for fear it could hurt her or cause more stress. So, the Dr. assured me she will not manually pull Nayeli out unless she sees a medical reason to do so.

So, the Dr. is going to give Liz another hour to sleep and will come back between 11 and 11:30 to check Nayeli's location. If our daughter had dropped, the Dr. plans to have Liz start pushing in our room. As Nayeli gets closer, they will move Liz to a different room and finish the birthing process. I asked the current Dr. staff about being able to cut our daughter's cord and take a photo of her. This Dr. didnt seem as enthused as the earlier Dr. that said this could be a distinct possibility. I am hoping this all happens, but I understand if it doesnt.

Thanks again for the continued kind words and support. We are truly thankful and love you all! Also, thank you to UCSF staff, they have all been amazing!
