This is for my Best Friend Lisa, she never had the wonderful opportunity to see my bare belly in person, and I would only post this picture of my huge stretched out belly for her (just remember that there was a 10 pound baby in there!)

Reid was born March 11, 2008. I was 10 days past my due date, and could't wait to meet him and hold him in my arms. I thank God every day that he arrived safely. I labored for 24 hours and ended up having a C-Section. Things got pretty scary towards the end, but we pulled through. I couldn't have done it without the support of Rudd. He breathed with me through all the contractions, rubbed my back, held my hand and prayed with me. Reid had to stay in the special care nursery for three days because of his low blood sugar. We call him our chunky monkey because he was 10 pounds when he was born. He was so big, he didn't fit in any of the clothes we packed for him, so his grandparents went shopping and bought him some new clothes. We donated the clothes we packed for him to the special care nursery where he was staying. Parenthood is wonderful, and I can't imagine my life without my little boy in it.
