28 and 7 months pregnant

I didn't sleep too well last night, so my birthday was off to a rough start and it didn't get much better until much later. Trung got Lydia when she woke up for the day, so I got to snooze for about fifteen more minutes. Throughout the morning, Lydia dashed to the bathroom to "go potty", but they were all false alarms. I've had to take the books out of the bathroom because I'm beginning to think that she just wants to sit on the potty to read and/or to have my complete attention. After a couple more false alarms and two time-outs, Lydia finally went to sleep at 7 PM.

Trung took me out to dinner at Truluck's after Lydia went to bed (don't worry, someone was watching Lydia). I had the stone crab platter and it was delish! The waitress also knew that it was my birthday and gave us some truffles and a couple slices of chocolate cake to-go. Trung also presented me with a necklace with an amethyst & diamond pendant...so sweet. It's funny how the first piece of jewelry he gave me was tanzanite, a purple stone, that one of our wedding colors was violet, that Lydia's name means "she who sells purple fabric" in the Bible (we found this out after we already picked the name), and that my birthstone is purple. Anyhow, what a great end to a tough day with Lydia; that girl must get her stubbornness from the both of us because she is quite a booger sometimes. :P
