Story of my life

[tabbycat]

I have recently found out that I am expecting a baby. Although it was not planned I am ofcourse delighted. The problem is that the baby is due to be born 4 weeks before I am due to marry.

I don't want to cancel it because I have spent ages planning it, but I just think it will be a bit mad having a baby and getting married all in the same month, not to mention the extra weight I will be carrying just after the birth.

My mum says she will take care of all the arrangements and I just have to turn up on the day! easier said than done I think.

What shall I do?

thats the reason why your supposed to wait until after your married girl

I say go for it. buy a dress in a large size and chat up someone that alters dresses so that they can do a last minute job on the alterations.

If you have been planning your wedding this long there won't be too many arrangements to make by the time you marry.

also get a cutsie little outfit for baby to wear and he/she will look fab at mum and dads wedding

Have you booked a honeymoon? that could be tricky

[glitter]

congratulations to you, I hope everything is wonderful for you. In answer to your question - do what your heart tells you

[wanda]

at least you wont get asked that age old question at the wedding "when can we expect to hear the pitter patter of tiny footsteps" blah blah blah

[snaggely]

tabbycat I have been watching this post to find out what you decided to do. drop us a line to let us know mate.

hiya

sorry I didn't reply earlier but as you can imagine it has been mad. I have decided to go ahead with the wedding. I put everything into perspective and realised that the only reason I was putting it off was because I was concerned about my post baby figure. My best friend found out that her dad has an inoperable tumour and this time next year he may not be here, and it got me to thinking that theres more to life than baby blubber. I have consulted a very nice dress maker and she assures me she will make me look fabulous. Also just to keep you up to date, I have found out today that I am expecting a little boy, I am not sure if it is the hormones but I have not stopped crying all day, its an emotion I can not describe. Its fabulous

Tabbycat you are amazing!
Congratulations on the upcoming arrival of your son!!!
I hope you are well?!
Seems I'm reading everything back to front and about 2 weeks late but its the first tme i've got to the pc in ages!
I'm getting married in about 8 weeks and our daughter emily will be 15 months at the time.
The only thing that matters and you have to remember is that whatever happens you are loved! It sounds soppy but its true. Your man obviously thinks the world of you and with so many couples trying to make a honeymoon baby you should wear a big smile- your baby is being delivered giftwrapped to start married life!
To the people who count and truely deeply love you - you will look beautiful whatever and the day will be perfect- whatever! Forget the stresses and try to treasure every moment of these next few months because they can never be repeated.x

What a lovely post titianmac, brought a tear to my eye and it wasn't even a post for me!!!! Theres some really nice people on here, its almost a shame to get married and leave. Can we have an after-wedding-wedding- belles please

[tabbycat]

Wow thanks titianmac thats a very very lovely reply.

I have decided to go for an empire line dress and a seriously supportive piece of underwear (the type old women wear in Littlewoods catalogues)

Of course H2B will not be aware of this, as I plan to change into something a little more slinky in the bathroom B4 bedtime

Well thats the plan anyway.

[titianmac]

Sounds like a good plan!
I myself am suffering with marshmallow belly syndrome despite now being a stone lighter after baby (and serious dieting!!!)
My underwear plan was obviously from the same page of catalogue however i've been threatened by h2b that he will check in front of everyone at a crucial moment if he hears i went through with the plan and am not slinky I darent call his bluff either so think im opting for a blue diamonte thong - something old... and all that!

You will be glamourous to the end tabbycat despite the scafolding necessary , Im yet to see a bride who didnt ooze sex appeal if such thing can be said without sounding gay?!

hows it going, are you fat yet
