23 Weeks...

I know that come 15 weeks from now, I am going to be pleading for those little kicks to be happening outside of my tummy, but the joy it brings to us now is just indescribable! This was the first week that your little sucker punches are noticeable to people OTHER than me... BJ has felt you kick almost every day now! Last night was just the funniest thing to me, though, as we were watching a show you started to kick me but by the time I had BJ come to feel, your BOTTOM was sticking out towards my stomach SO HARD! You must do flips all day long...

In other news, we finally started to register last weekend now that we have 2 showers in the next month! It was kind of hard because I obviously have NO CLUE what you will need... so, many thanks to my cousin, Jana, for walking me through my "must haves"...

We also went to San Antonio for Easter this weekend (pics to come in another post for that) and your great aunt and uncles just LOVE you... everyone is so excited to meet you... in fact, they put together a small little blessing time for us while we were there and you received your first gifts!! Thank you all! We left town with your Bassinet, as well... I am so excited about it! It is the same bassinet your Grandma Dot used as a baby (so no, it is not new!) but it is oh so charming and such a romantic thought to me that you will share the same baby bed as your Grandma!!

Most noticeable change this week... Everyone likes to touch my tummy.
Most exciting announcement this week.... MINDY is preggo!! Here is to your future best friend, baby!

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...

Just Mauied...

So... in the spirit of the final blog about our wedding - it is time we move on to more important things for the blogger world hear about - it is only fair that we share some of our amazing honeymoon! Us, and about 5 other honeymooning couples on AA Flight 6 on October 12, 2008, journey to the honeymoon capital of the world -- MAUI!! One of the things I regret most is not taking up Mindy's offer and bring along her legit camera - we really did a bad job at capturing the best vacation ever, but we'll remember.... It all started here - the most magical sendoff I could ever imagine for my wedding.... and there we go... off to start life together as Mr. and Mrs. William Rector...! Dum Di Dum Dum....the next day (check out my awesome ratted hair) We had to get up at 7am to catch our flight - note: this is NOT recommended for anyone getting married-- either leave after noon or the Monday... wow that was rough! On-board AA Flight 6 direct to Maui! BJ and I cruising to our hotel in o...

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...
