Nayeli has arrived!

After 20+ hours of labor and over 4 hours of pushing. The Drs. told me that Nayeli was not going to come out vaginal birth. They wanted the position of the baby to be at a 5 and she went from -1 to a 0 in those 4 hours. The Drs. didn't think there was going to be much of a change. I asked at this point what is the safest for our baby and me. They said C section. I didn't want this but knew if I didn't Nayeli could face complications and I could get complications too. During the pushing Shane didn't leave my side and was such a great coach. I think I squeezed his hand so hard that he didn't know what to do. He was by my side, I am so lucky to have such a wonderful husband.

At 6:54am Nayeli arrived. Shane was by my side during surgery. We heard Nayeli cry and we know this is a great sign. I bursted into tears and all of the physical pain I was enduring disappeared. The pediatricians were waiting for Nayeli. They quickly stabiilized her. They brought her back in for me and Shane to see her. We were both so happy. Nayeli is a miracle! Thank you God for giving us this miracle. We know the storm isn't over so we are praying that God gives Nayeli the strength she needs to fight CDH. We are waiting to hear from the Doctors about Nayeli's update.

We were waiting in the recovery room to hear if we could go visit Nayeli. The nurse told Shane he could go but I couldn't because there was not enough room for a gurney in the NICU. I told the nurse I could go in a wheelchair. The nurse thought I was crazy. I begged! She said not until tommorow because of my surgery. I begged once more. She said if I got dizzy or sick that would not be good. She also said I would have to stand on my own. With only four hours of sleep in two days. I prayed for God to give me the strength to see our baby. Once I see her I will try to sleep and rest. I got the strength not get dizzy, sick and stood up to go in a wheelchair. The nurse told me she has never had anyone do that 3 hours after an abdominal surgery. My love for Nayeli and with God giving me the strength I did it! I am now going to rest and get some sleep. Shane will too. He has been taking care of me and he has less sleep than me.

Thank you for your continued support prayers. I would post pictures but I am not allowed to get up and Shane stepped out. We will post soon and update on Nayeli.
