Meeting Tripp....

Once we were out of my C-Section and back in recovery, BJ went to get Eleanor to come meet her little brother before we told our families what we had :).... apparently, he still had tears in his eyes and so while he was away they all placed bets that BR #2 just had to be a boy... they know him well :).
 
After Eleanor got a few minutes with Tripp, BJ went back out to let everyone know the news.... here is how he did it!

After the hoots and hollers, everyone started making their way back to meet their new grandson and nephew.. the only thing that stinks about recovery is that guests are only allowed back four at a time, so we couldn't all celebrate together, but rather, in waves....

Dot-Dot.... funny enough, she was wearing pink the day Eleanor was born and has this very same picture with her...
 
Nanna....
 
Aunt Katie....
 
Aunt Kristen.... only 11 more weeks until she is in this same position with her own little bug!
 
Grandpa and Paw-Paw (Paw-Paw is William Joseph Rector!).....
 
 
 
Uncle Benny....
 
Aunt Mindy....
 
And Silly Big Sister, Jenna...
 
After about an hour of recovery, I was released to go upstairs and Tripp was sent off to get measurements, etc.... so off we went to watch from the window to the nursery!
 
Grandpa had Eleanor saying "Bubba" like a champ... and she was enthralled with all the activity that was going on in the nursery and waved and called for Bubba the whole time. Melt. my. heart.
 
 
 If you ask me, it was the perfect birthday for our precious little one... we love our SON, baby boy Tripp!!

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 ...
