Happy LOVE Day!

Honestly I have never really been a huge fan of Valentines day but it is a fun day when you have a little one and a Valentine:)!! We spent the day helping Annie pack up their apt and then we ended the day with a yummy meal of crock pot lasagna and salad and then just hung around the house! No big plans but it was fun!
Vera Kate and I started the morning early making crafts!!

Vera Kate's Valentine crafts!! It is a little hard to be all nice and neat when you are dealing with a 19 month old and fingerpaint! HA! But it was fun and she enjoyed it!

Meme made us these Valentines at her painting class! She was soo proud and I think they are just so special!!
Vera Kate checking out her V-day happies! I have been wanting to start doing more crafty activities with her since she is getting older! So this was the perfect opportunity for a little fingerpaint and paper pad things! And of course stickers and Barney and Veggie Tales DVDs are a must!
Giving daddy his Valentine! She was so proud! Vera Kate made it for him to take to work and put in his office:))

He has a NAME!!

Well the little man finally has a name!! We have decided to name him Reid Thomas Ray! He will go by Reid! There is no family name significance to Reid but Thomas is Brian's middle name! It was actually and surprisingly a pretty easy decision! The Sunday night before we were going to the specialist Brian and I were sitting on the couch and I said do you like the name Reid... he was like yeah I do actually (we don't agree on names most of the time)!! I was like oh well that is it! HA! Just kidding! But that night as I prayed over and over about the upcoming ultrasound the name Reid Thomas Ray kept coming to my mind and I prayed specifically for Reid by name! I just knew that was it!! Brian was totally on board also!! We are soooo excited and cant wait to meet him!! Stuart informed me that Reid's initials are RTR which is also short for Roll Tide Roll. HA! Stuart and Kacie did not approve!! HAHA! Just kidding!! But I informed Stu that on most monograms it will be RRT! And since he is a boy I will probably not be monogramming as much stuff as I did for Vera Kate!!! He was better with the decision after knowing that! HAHA! Stu was just kidding but I thought it was funny that he thought of that! I hope Reid never says Roll tide Roll!!! :)
Anyways, I had my 25 week doc appointment today! All was well! I go back in like three weeks for that fabulous glucose test:( I can hardly wait for that yummy orange drink! HA!
Reid will definitely be here before we know it! I gotta get on the stick with his nursery!! I am planning to go first of March to look for fabric! We have gotten a few cute little outfits!! I bought him a cute little smocked outfit the other night! When I showed Brian he said... at what point do the outfits become more manly!! HAHA! I said no time soon bud!! No... the outfits are very boyish but very cute:)) I mean the smocking is a barn with farm animals! Mom got Vera Kate and Reid matching outfits yesterday! They are soooo cute! Cant wait!! Anways, enough about that! We are excited and gotta get in gear! Three or so more months!!!!! YAY!! Sorry no pics for this post!! I am not a fan of pregnancy pics with this body:) HAHA!!!!
