SHE HAS A NAME!!!

Well... we finally decided to name her: Sterling Renie Reid.
Renie after Sterling's mom Irene. I think it's cute. Can't wait to meet Sterling Renie Reid!!!

Christmas

Chistmas was great. I am glad it is over... wrapping presents was a real task with this huge belly!!Evan got his bat computer he's been wanting for the past 2 years and Nathan got his Nintendo DS. They both wanted the Guitar Hero 2 game, so Sterling got that for them. Evan was so excited when he seen it! I really didn't know what I wanted for Christmas... other than this little girl out of me. I willing to wait until she is done baking though...LOL! I want her to be healthy!! I got $$... which is always good! Baby Sterling got a pack of diapers, a diaper genie, a diaper genie refill, her first baby doll, a potty, and some socks!! :) We all went to Vince's Christmas evening and ate. I cannot wait until next year when we have Sterling here!!
The Christmas Cantata at Church was great. Nathan got sick the week of so he was unable to sing so he sat in the audience.

Nathan & Evan as elves..

Look alikes...

This is funny!!

The time is getting closer...

It's hard to believe in about 7 weeks I am going to have a daughter. She has already dropped and it is getting harder to walk not to mention sleep. I am hoping she will stay in until at least the end of January. We want her to be good and healthy. We are going to have her sleep in our room until we get the basement finished. We plan on putting our room with a bathroom down there. That way both boys will have their own room and Sterling will have hers. Until then she will get part of our room. We aren't going to set up her crib until she gets maybe around 3 months.

PIANO RECITAL

Evan had his first piano recital Thursday, Dec 14th. He played Jingle bells. He did a wonderful job. We are all very proud of him!!!!!

Baby Ticker!!

The Dancing pickle!!!

November Secret Mommy

Dec 7th I recieved my secret mommy pkg for November. I loved everything!! Esp this dress. It's so adorable. It even came with a green hair bow. The boys got some treats as well...and Sterling got a Chebacca motorized lollypop. :)

The Reid Christmas party

Saturday Dec 9th we went to the Reid Christmas party. We had to bring a $5 gift to exchange and did the Chinese gift exchange. I "first" had this blanket. Thought it would make a good baby blanket. I ended up with a red blanket big enough to wrap me and the baby in. :) We had good food and all got our belly's full.

Our Tree!!

I just wanted to post a picture of our Christmas tree!!! We decided this year to go with purple and gold. We even put Purple lights on it. It's so pretty!!

1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!! 11/18/06

We celebrated our 1 year anniversary November 18th. We actually did the Toys For Tots event in Spartanburg on the 18th, so we celebrated by going out on the 19th to Texas Roadhouse. It's where we went to dinner the night we got married. Mmmmmmmmm it was goood!

Thanksgiving...

Well this Thanksgiving was the first Thanksgiving we stayed in South Carolina. Usually we go to Michigan for Thanksgiving, but being so far along with our pregnancy we thought it may be best to not travel. We will go there after the baby is born. First we ate dinner at Sterling's parents house around noon, then we came home and I prepared a meal for us around 5:30. Everything turned out great and I even made Pumpkin pie!!! Still missed home... but there is always next year!

Star Wars Event Spartanburg

We all had a great time at the Star Wars Event in Spartanburg,SC. There were alot of Toys for Tots donated!!! Here are a few pics..

Our next event is November 18th (On our anniversary!!) at the Toys R US in Spartanburg, SC. We just hope it tops the Columbia event!!

Secret mommies

I have received my secret mommy package last week. Here is what I got!! Also my Secret mommy package from September.

Ultrasounds

Here is baby Sterling.
She is so beautiful!! We cannot wait to meet her!

Getting ready for Sterling

It's crazy to think in less than 12 weeks she will be here. This pregnancy has flown by!! I can't wait to see what she looks like. We already know that she has her daddy's feet from the Ultrasound scan. Last night I packed her diaper bag...just for fun. It has been so long since I have packed one of them I forgot what to put in it.
My babyshower will be in January so I will probably repack it before her arival. I just love to look at all her little outfits and think that someday I will see her in them.
So far she has a ton of clothes (Because I am addicted to buying baby girl clothes..), diapers, wipes, powder, lotion,diaper bag, snow suit, onesies, cloth diapers, ..... we just need to buy the big stuff now.
