What a night. The Mavs look like they are going to take a 3-2 lead in the finals. Nicole is sleeping, a steady stream of Pitocin flowing in her veins. The nurse said she is surprised that Nicole is taking in so much but is not yet feeling painful contractions. We hope that is ok. Pitocin is the synthetic version of Oxitocin, the natural hormone that gets the contractions going, breast milk flowing, and other pregnancy related female needs. Nicole is getting 47.9 Milligrams/hour right now. She seems to be having contractions 3 minutes apart, but she is not feeling them painfully yet at all. We expect that to change. I am going to try and get some rest.
That Mavs win was awesome but I'm sure pales in comparison to finally meeting Dylan! Congrats again!
ReplyDeleteThanks Matt - that is true, the Mavs winning a basketball game is not as awesome as creating life. However, teaching her that it is ok to route for the underdog will be an important lesson (I think that is something we all got from growing up in Syracuse)!
