Tripp's Sip-n-See

So... better late than never. This past February, my dear friends Mindy, Lucy, Marina and Elizabeth hosted a beautiful Sip-n-See for our precious Tripper Boy. When I found out I was pregnant with this little guy, we decided to wait and do any sort of "shower" until his arrival seeing as I really didn't NEED anything and I didn't know if he would be a boy or a girl. Well Tripper, your little celebration was worth the wait - it was over the top wonderful in every single way. You truly are our little heartthrob... your little smile and snuggles bring butterflies to my tummy every single day.

The beautiful invitation, designed by Marina.... she is SO talented and seeing as I STILL haven't done a birth announcement, this worked for the few friends that were able to join the party :).
 
Three of the lovely hostesses... Marina, Liz and Mindy. Lucy couldn't be there and we missed her so... Tripper loves his LuLu.
 
Two of Tripp's grandmas.... Dot-Dot and Nanna. We missed Pamie!
 
The shower was hosted at Raedean's house (Mindy's mom)... to date, I believe she has hosted 3 showers for me in her lovely home. It is always incredibly decorated for every season so it was perfect that Tripp's shower fell at Valentines. Look at these Valentines she has saved from her kiddos over the years!
 
Precious college and post-college friends...
 
Some of the amazing girls from our book club....
 
Small group friends...
 
The amazingly yummy brunch spread... some of my very favorites, including: monkey bread and yogurt parfaits... so, so yummy.
 
The drink station... let's just pause at the detail that these girls put into everything.... it was gorgeous!
 
Tripp left with his first batch of valentines... I love these precious keepsakes that the girls wrote to Tripper boy.... he is such a lover, he will think they are awesome too
 
The mantle....
 
So, not our best picture... but Tripper boy, Momma and Daddy's hearts really have FLIPPED for you. We love you so much, buddy.
 
And to my precious friends, thank you for loving my kiddos and ME so well.

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 ...
