After a long wait and a long labor, Aubrey Jean Driscoll Hurda was born at Tuesday July 25th at 2:26 in the morning. The original due date was July 16th, so Aubrey was a little late. We were convinced that the full moon on July 9th would do the trick, but no such luck. It took a lot of walking for this baby to finally come out. Walking was the one of the only things that gave Kelly any comfort, and I swear that we logged at least a thousand miles in the weeks leading up to the big day and another 100 at the hospital during the labor. We actually made a couple visits to the hospital, Abbott Northwestern in Minneapolis, before finally delivering our bundle of joy via c-section. Aubrey was 8 lbs and 19 and one half inches. Labor was also long but due to good doctors and drugs, Kelly was not in a lot of pain. We started labor at about 11 pm on the 23rd and by early on the 24th, we were pretty sure Aubrey was coming. But things progressed really slowly the rest of the day and finally we made the decision for a c-section. Here is Aubrey in some of her first pictures.
