UPDATES!!

so i am still trying to get better at updating this thing! i think i am starting to do better, however i still have room for lots of improvement. so here it goes.

first lets start with sterling. as you all know by now, he is playing soccer. well two weeks ago he actually scored his first goal. now i am sure you are wondering why there aren't a lot of exclamation points next to that statement. here is why- it was for the other team....yeah- he was playing goalie and he had to drop kick the ball out on to the field. well he is only 5 and hasn't quite mastered that skill yet, so in his attempt to kick the ball on to the field, he actually kicked it in the air, behind his head and into his own goal. it was very cute & funny at the time. and of course, i had the video on pause so i missed getting the whole thing on tape!! his team did end up winning the game though. the only point the other team had was sterling's goal. ha ha! they also won this last week so now they are on a winning streak!! keep it up yellow lightening! dave has a funny story about sterling & soccer, but i will leave that up to him to tell you. i will say this, it involves a porta potty & a little boy who had to go and couldn't hold it any longer. if you know sterling, you know that a porta potty is not exactly a place that he would like to be for long...he must get that from me...i can't stand those things.

he is getting very excited about the arrival of his little sister reagan. the other morning i was leaving for work, and i think he kissed my belly about 4 times before i finally had to tell him to stop because i was going to be late for work. he kept saying, "oh she's so cute, let me kiss her again...i love her so much." it was adorable! because he has been saying some funny things lately, i told dave that we need to start documenting them so we can embarrass him when he is older. so be on the look out for the sterling chronicles. they should be entertaining!!

as for reagan, she is growing quite well. we had an fetal ecg done today to check her little heart just to make sure it is ok. as many of you know, her daddy has a special heart :) he was born with a heart defect so just to be safe, our doctor wanted to make sure she was ok. so they sent us for the test and to our surprise since the specialist had never seen us, they did a full ultra sound with the fetal ecg. it was nice because we got to see a lot of movement & cool things. they also gave us a TON of pictures, made us a cd & a dvd of the whole ultra sound. she wasn't very cooperative, but they were able to see that every thing looks beautiful!! she is right on track- measuring 1 pound 11 ounces & just above average for weight & length right now. she is measuring with a due date of may 21, however we are still saying the 23rd because if you have ever had a baby you know they never measure to their original due date. giver or take a few days & they decide to come when they want so does the due date really matter??

anyways- some of the pics they gave us were 3d of her little face so i am attaching one for you all to see. now look closely... you will see her face and little hand pretty clear. the thing right next to her hand is her foot. she had them both up by her face so basically she was folded in half. i am not sure how that is comfortable, but she stayed like that the entire time! here is our little reagan lynn :)i personally think she is adorable....

here are some pics of the belly at 24 weeks :)



so those are some fun updates for you!! if you want a good laugh, read my previous post "I've been tagged!" that one should be quite entertaining.

ta ta for now! cole :)
