It's been a while!

It has been a while since I've popped onto the MN boards! (Sorry, ladies!) How is everyone? Any fun plans for Halloween tonight?!

Brief birth story:
As you can tell, I had my LO! Aubriana Lynette made her appearance on Oct. 16th, 2009 at 10:13pm at 8lbs 9.3oz and 20 1/2" long! I went in the day before (my EDD) for an induction because of PUPPPS. Everything went beautifully, save for nearly 13 hours of unmedicated back labor! I eventually got an epi for the pain and exhaustion it was causing (I had wanted to try to go drug free but also got induced to avoid exhaustion) and glad I did because I guess I was getting close to a c-section! Aubri wasn't going to allow it, though! Pushed for an hour and 15 min and she came out (no tearing!)! Now we're just trying to adjust to the beautiful chaos that is a newborn!

Hope everyone is doing well!!!
