and i woke up at a lovely 5am and here i am. hm.
so question for you ladiess. my SIL just set a date for her wedding (they have issues theyve been sorting for ages and we never thought theyd actually get married, let alone dump it all on us NOW!?) anyway, yesterday she told us that she set the date for September 18th 2011... and she expects me to be her bridesmaid (she was my bridesmaid in my wedding last year). September 18th is 3 weeks after my due date and she has known that. I definitely intend to breastfeed. Is it even possible to be a bridesmaid in a longgg catholic wedding, and bring a 3 week old who is nursing? And shes talking about us going to try on and size dresses and stuff, obviously that is impossible for me right now right? How will I know what size I will be 3 weeks after giving birth? Also, she expects husband to be an usher so its not like he can take care of the 3 week old baby.
Suggestions?
If it was me id just say im very honoured to be asked, but ask her to have someone on standby b/c you dont know what your circumstances will be, you could go over by 2wks if your consultant allows it ( A lot of 1st babies dont like coming early) The fitting of bridesmaid dress may become a problem basically that close to your due date anything could crop up.... But thats just something id do. Im chief bridesmaid for my friend this year sometime she's thinking end of June, but she's fully aware im TTC and ive already said if i become PG in next few months i will step down as bridesmaid cos i'll have a growing bump by then n i wont feel right or comfortable doing it x
