20 Weeks...

Well, we have made it to the halfway point (according to my "due date" we are actually a few weeks past halfway)... but nevertheless... WOOHOO!

There are so many WONDERFUL memories that we made this week.... most notably would be moving in to our new house. We are finally in the home that we will start our little family in... and I can't even believe I wrote "finally" seeing as this all happened so fast. I can hardly believe that in about 4 months we will bringing Baby Rector home, here in Coppell, to our little nest. Ours... not something we are renting, OURS!! I can't wait to have the laughter, tears, joyous moments, landmarks, etc. happen in these walls.

Also noted, I cannot button my pants anymore (well, I technically can, it is just terribly inappropriate if I was planning to retain any dignity). So, I have purchased the belly band! I obviously don't exactly know how to use it yet, seeing as it is hanging out of my shirt in this picture!

Aside of the house, the most exciting thing this week is the literal KICKS I am feeling in my stomach! We have moved beyond the "butterflies" (although I still kind of get those) to what I would call distinct kicks that are VERY obvious! Our little soccer player or dancer is already working out those legs...! With this fun little detail also has come a little bugger... I can't breathe at night. It is like a constant cold feeling when I lay down! Solution: I now sleep on an incline and feel huge next to BJ, oh well, it works!

We are heading to the doctor on Monday morning and excited to hear that heartbeat once again.... too bad we can't look at the screen, we DO NOT want to know what we are having so it is just safest not to look ;)!

I think you should start taking your belly pics in the nursery. The blue walls would look great in the background.

Rector 2.0

So, on April 2, 2011, I woke up to this... I immediately showed Eleanor to confirm... "Momma, are you kidding me??!!" So, we held off telling our families until Easter and had a great plan to reveal Eleanor as the BIG SISTER at the dinner table... we didn't think about that lunch was right after her nap, so she was a little groggy and looks unhappy, but we couldn't keep it anymore.... So a few days later we tried to take some pictures again to prove that Eleanor is VERY excited! We can't wait to meet you, Baby Rector #2!! As of now, we look forward to November 22nd when you will enter this world... (you are due December 1, but because I will have a C-section, you birthday is currently scheduled for November 22!)... but we are SO thankful to the Lord for your life as you grow inside of Momma right now and we are praying FERVENTLY for you... same as we did for your precious, big sister... healthy baby, who chooses Jesus at an early age and never once doubts that Mom...

ALOOOOHA....

T hat's right friends - we are packing our bags and taking a little BABYMOON next month. BJ surprised me last week and had this little ditty all worked out... ...In fact I did work out all the details, only to rework them a week later after the final go-ahead from Karen. Her rationale was appreciated and wise, albeit not well recieved at first. I called her the fun-killer. Ironic I know... "I'm a fun girl!" her famous self proclamation. (this portion written by BJ) N ot going to lie - when BJ first told me about this trip I was a little stressed (it's the planner and realist in me)... I mean, our life is crazy - and obviously finances are about to go haywire when we get into our new house and bring baby home... but as a good reminder, I have been brought back down to earth in realizing that there will ALWAYS be an excuse, we have more freedom now then we probably will ever again and God has ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS been our Faithful provider... we have the funds, so i...

15 weeks...

So, I have become a blog stalker over this past year... it is just so easy to get onto trails from friend's blog lists until all of the sudden you are committed to reading a complete strangers musings daily. Creepy, I know. Regardless, one of my very favorite blogs that I started to follow actually did a spot on a family friend of mine (the blogger's sister-in-law) throughout her pregnancy... she took weekly pictures and both parents would write a letter / our thoughts to the baby / about the baby until she was born. I found myself crying every time I read what they would write and so anxious to see her weekly pictures... I am not going to be as fancy as what they did, but I do really love the idea of charting my body's changes, my emotional experience and prayers from beginning to birth... so go ahead and call me a copycat! 15 Weeks Whether it is noticeable to anyone else but me (I know BJ notices but he is nice and acts like I look the same), my body has changed so much ...
