This week, we bought two white gold necklaces with diamond snowflake pendants. I will wear one once Lydia is born and the other will be saved for her until she is old enough to wear it. That way, mother and daughter will have matching necklaces (that match the nursery too)!
The next couple of weeks Mom & Dad Spencer will be visiting and helping us get the nursery done. We were able to get the walls, doors, and trim painted, along with getting the crib put together and the closet redone. We were surprised with a gift from Grandma Spencer who sent along a handmade baby quilt for Lydia. She hasn't quilted in years, but wanted to have this quilt done to give to her first great-granddaughter. We were so surprised and touched by this special gift. Thank you SO much Grandma Spencer! I have a really embarrassing story, but pregnancy is about the good AND the bad! Let me start out saying that I have heard of other women thinking that their water broke and going to the hospital only to find out that they really just peed the bed. I always thought, “how could you not know you wet yourself?!” Well, I seriously thought that my water broke the other night. Before I got into bed, I went to the bathroom one last time. On my way to the bedroom, I noticed that the front of my pj bottoms were all wet. I had just gone to the bathroom, so I KNEW that it had to mean I was going into premature labor! I remembered from my pregnancy books that if it was indeed my water breaking, that it might stop while I was standing/sitting (because the baby acts like a plug). So, I got into bed (after changing my pjs) and fell asleep figuring that if it was my water breaking that I would either wake up with contractions or wake up with an extremely wet bed (neither happened). It turns out that it is entirely possible to wet yourself this far into pregnancy and really not realize it! I am just glad it happened at home and not in public.
