Happy birthday to me! After a prolonged water-breakage, 9.5 hrs. of labor, 1 epidural, 2 bolus doses added to epidural, one persistent hot-spot, and 1 hour of pushing, mommy got me out. All 7lbs, 5oz of me. Not too shabby. Everyone agrees I'm definitely the cutest baby my mommy and daddy have ever made.

On-hand at this blessed event were grandparents, one uncle, and one aunt. There were also lots of friends who visited us in the hospital, which made time there much more enjoyable!

I must say, however, that I was beginning to feel like a pin-cushion... and those awful bracelets, and anklets. Absolutely terrible. Thank goodness I didn't have the 'extra' appendage - Who knows what they would have done with that...
