Well the wedding plans are coming along nicely, we have a venue, a DJ and the biggest thing of all…I have THE dress, not any dress, not a simple White dress, but THE dress that is perfect for me, its suits my body, my personality and everything about me….but most importantly it is the dress I will wear when I say “I Do”, the dress I will wear when I devote the rest of my life to my Lover, My Partner and My Best Friend, and it is beautiful….and I love it….and now the sad part about The Perfect Dress…..I might have to Exchange it!!! Why? Well here is the other big news. We have changed the date from 07 January 2011 to 02 October 2010…yes that is 2.5 months away, that is 11 weeks away and the reason we have changed the date is because….I AM PREGNANT.
I never thought that this would happen to me, I never thought that I would get knocked up while planning and wedding and have to change the date, I never thought that my dream would come true.
I am 10 weeks today, (finally in double digits) nobody was more surprised than we were, I took the HPT on Pauls birthday….coincidintally the day I bougtht The Dress, and also P’s 41st Birthday. I went to him with the +HPT in one hand and anti-ageing eyecream in the other hand, both hands behind my back. I asked him “what do you think will keep you younger for longer? This? (and showed him the eye cream) or this? (and showed him the test)” he looked at me very confused and said “What is it” so I said “Its a postive pregnancy test! I am pregnant!” He could not believe it. We both went quiet, and did not say anything for a while, we were both thinking, wondering ‘how the hell did this happen’ then when I needed to pee again, I went to the bathroom and took another HPT put it back in the box, and gave it to him to read the results, he read them and they were positive again, he looked at them, looked up, and I saw tears in his eyes, and new that I was pregnant, I hugged him and said “happy birthday”. Anyway we took 2 more on Sunday and they were both positvie as well, so I went to the gynae on the Tuesday, and saw the heart beat. It was amazing. I am due on 12 Feb 2011 and very excited.
As far as the pregnancy goes, it hasn’t been too bad, No morning sickness, had a few cravings namely flings, chinese food and healthy stuff like fruit and veg, gone off things like stews and soups. The only thing I have been battling with is being tired, OH my word i am so tired ALL the time. Anyway it is all worth it. P has had sympathy pregnancy, gone off some foods. And i just think that is so funny. Got another App with doc this week, so if i get a chance i will let you all know how it goes. But here are some pics, of the sticks that changed my life.
P’s Birthday Present
It happened to be fathers day on the 20th, so when I showed P the test I took on Sunday, I said to him “Happy Fathers day”
I am SOOOO happy for you guys. What a perfect chapter in your fairytale romance. Every time I see an update from you in my google reader I read it first, before all the others and hope that it has the ultimate good news, and this time it did. You stayed positive and now your silver lining has arrived. Congrats. Can’t wait to see the wedding pics. And the baby pics!
That’s absolutely stunning news Mel! Wow your wedding is just around the corner! Good luck with all the arrangements, and try to take it easy, it can get very stressful! The most tired I’ve ever been was the day of my wedding.
OMG that is fantastic news! CONGRATULATIONS! So glad the symptoms aren’t too bad and hoping you have a prefect pregnancy – enjoying every moment of it. And just think your Little One will be with you when you commit to his/her daddy in the perfect dress. I am sooo thrilled for you.
Congratulations again Mel!!!! What awesome news, and a double blessing all in one year!!!
