We have been here all night, the midwife is here right now doing an exam and she says the baby has dropped down perfectly. It seems the Cytotech in combination with Gena's natural birthing abilities have worked together overnight. We started the Pitocin a little bit ago and Mary, our midwife, is bringing a birthing ball into the room for Gena to roll around on.
We didn't get much sleep last night, but luckily Gena had her own personal massage therapist in the room...

There is still a chance for us to end up in the ABC (Alternative Birthing Center). As long as Gena's blood pressure stays low and her blood tests come back clean, we still have the possibility of finishing the delivery in the ABC.
So in the end we didn't quite get everything we wanted, but everything is working out. We can be flexible and these are things we don't have control over, so we go with the flow and control the things we have control over, like how much intervention we receive or what Gena does in the room. This baby will get here one way or another!
Good luck guys, I hope everything is going well!
