4 years ago tonight...

Four years ago tonight, I was 2 days shy of my 33rd week of pregnancy. Dave was in Texas on a business trip. I managed a student apartment complex and had been running around all day doing clean checks. I decided to treat myself to a cheeseburger, fries, and peanut butter cup milkshake from the Malt Shop, which I brought home and devoured in front of the TV. When I was finished with my meal, I stood up, and my water broke. I called Dave, and then the doctor, who told me to get to the hospital right away. So I drove MYSELF to the hospital (it was only 3 blocks away, ha ha), and soon enough my sister-in-law and my best friend joined me. Twelve hours later my adorable and impatient Spencer was born. He was 4lbs 13oz, and screamed as soon as he was born - best sound in the world. Dave got to hear everything on his cell phone as he waited for his plane to take off to come back to Utah. (He thought about chartering a jet, but the doctors kept saying that I may not give birth for a couple more days...they had no idea.) It was quite an entrance into the world, but then again, Spencer is quite the little boy. I cannot believe that was 4 years ago.

I don't have a picture to share yet. We didn't have a digital camera at that time, and we don't have a scanner now...so as soon as I can find a scanner to use, I'll post some pics of Spencer's day of birth =). But I thought tonight was an appropriate night to at least share the story...
