We spent yesterday at UCSF. Am is doing as well as can be expected. Two more weeks to go and Am is continuing to have contractions. Nights are most difficult and uncomfortable for her.
We are adjusting to our new environment. We have a really nice grocery store - just a couple of blocks away. We have learned that the city bus is accessible and I can take my scooter anywhere the bus goes - just $2 - sometimes only 75 cents.
Nick is flying to SF this Saturday - Yeah - It will be nice to have him here.
However, he is flying back home the next day :-(
I am trying to talk Am and Nick into bringing Payton (he has a ticket) - a little selfish on my part bc he makes me smile! I think Payton would have lots of fun. There are toys and games - wagons to ride in and beautiful parks to play in...

January 23 - We move forward and pray for comfort, compassion, and health
I am feeling isolated from family and friends but I am making the best of our circumstances. Our new home for the next few weeks is a single bedroom with two twin beds. We share a kitchen and bathroom with other families receiving medical care at UCSF. The volunteers and staff at the Family House are helpful and very kind but it is hard to be so far away from our loved ones and in an unfamiliar place. Accessible transportation has been hard to find - but we are learning where not to go - no elevator service was a problem when we were dropped off at an underground train station. Amber has had the best attitude and it has been a pleasure to spend time with her. However, I think we both feel that February 7 and 8 can not come soon enough. Nick and his parents will be here with us and we are counting on having our baby Emma.

Yesterday - I was in a lot of pain. I guess I did too much the day before. Today was better. I stayed in bed until noon. I took Amber to the doctor because she wasn't feeling well. Everything is fine - just some pre-labor contractions. Two weeks from this Saturday - we fly to San Francisco. I am so excited to see Emma and finally hold her.
Today, I took care of myself by resting and taking my vitamins and Omega-3. Also, I scheduled an appointment for bio-identical hormone replacement therapy before we leave.

In 2 weeks, I need to be stronger and healthier to support my daughter. daddysprincessemma.blogspot.com
Today, I made my day count by relaxing, getting some fresh air and sunshine. I was able to walk from my door to my car, to the pool, and leasing office.
I read about the earthquake in Haiti and was thankful I had some money to help provide water. http://community.ob.org/site/PageServer
