NEM: you're right to point it out. Reality checks are needed anyway now and again. God, your cousin was really stressed. My cousin who's getting married was also my bridemaid. I didn't really ask my bridesmaids to do much as they were nowhere near Dublin and my cousin is not asking me to do much either now, just turn up on the day and that's it. She keeps thanking me already for just that. I feel bad I can't make it to the hen-night though but it's only 3 or 4 weeks after the bay is due in the Southwest of Ireland. On the day of the wedding we are getting someone to look after LO in the hotel where the reception is (we have a room booked there) but DH and I will be popping back and forward all the time and of course I will have to feed her. I'll do that in the hotel room so it doesn't really matter what the dress is like. I figure it's easier to feed her myself than express because then I'd need all the sterilising stuff and expressing sounds like a pain anyway. God, the things you have to think about once you have a baby!
Chipmonkey: LOL to the two holes! In a way it would be quite nice to be too big for a dress because I have massive boobs
Mum2b: Did you make those cupcakes yourself? they sound delicious! Are they American style cupcakes? Could I have the recipe? I had a chocolate one I bought today in the supermarket and it was really tasty.
Lori: 8lb is a great weight. If mine continues growing averagely they think she will be a 7lber but she could have a growth spurt or not grow as fast so who knows. Is there anything you can do to help the LO grow in the last few weeks before birth? Eat more cupcakes?
