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...

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...
