34 Weeks...

Time is FLYING by.... I just can't believe it! This week, we celebrated Father's day with Grandpa Gross, Grandpa Rector and your daddy! BJ kind of feels the same way I did on Mother's day... pretty much not like a father, yet! But I just know he is going to be the best daddy to you - I can't wait to see him with you. His compassionate and gentle heart is already so evident, I just know you are going to make him weak at the knees!We also had another doctor appointment - everything looks great, yet again! Praise the Lord - minus the first trimester morning sickness, and now the discomfort of feeling you all the way up in my ribs and all the way down towards my hips (at the same time) - this has really been such an easy pregnancy! We cannot give enough praise to the Lord for that... it has been our prayer from the very beginning.... Healthy Baby, Healthy Momma... we trust that He is faithful to continue to protect your precious life, and mine, as we welcome you into this world!

Crazy - doctor appointments are now every week - AAGHH... and we are pre-registered and paid at the hospital (kind of stinks not to have maternity insurance, but praise the Lord that He continues to provide... again!)... I guess all this means that the countdown has officially begun!

So today, I am filled with an overwhelming excitement for you... I can't wait to see your face, to know your heart, to make so many memories, to experience life in new ways through you... I am so overwhelmed by this gift you are to our family!

Psalm 127:3-4
Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth.

You are ADORABLE!!

And I still have your present... I'm pretty sure I will actually mail it before baby Rector arrives! That is my goal, anyway! :) Keep growing, Momma- you are beautiful!

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 ...
