Chad's sister Shauna is getting married tomorrow. I love weddings and I love Chad's family, which is now my family, so it will be fun. Trying to find a dress is not easy. It is so amazing to be pregnant and I love every second of it...........well, almost every second. Trying to find a dress that looked good on me was tough. I am really surprised at how hard it is for me to accept my huge butt and huge tummy and huge everything else. I know my body needs to grow to make this baby, I know I am making healthy choices about 70% of the time. I know I am exercizing and kegeling and cat-cowing (yoga move, peeps).....so why is it I still think I need to look like I did when I wasnt pregnant in times that require a dress?! I can look at other prego's and think they look super cute. Sometimes I think I look super cute but then I put the dress on and the ta ta's spill out and the hips are wider than ever and I feel.........big. I went to about five different stores trying to find something that fit and looked good. Not an easy task. I think that is why I only found one dress that was half way decent at Kohl's. I brought it home and asked Chad what he thought. He was very nice but I could tell he was not in love with this dress. I asked him why and he said it was the wierd frilly things on the sleeves. WHAT?! Why are guys so random? I was showing cleavage! You would think that would be a bigger bonus than the cute ruffly sleeves that he didn't like. I give Chad credit though because he said it in a very good way. "Case-I just love your shoulders and those sleeves cover them up." I love him. BUT, just as I was about to say screw it and wear my t-shirt maternity dress to the wedding, Chad's sister, Rachel, brings me two maternity dresses to the rehersal dinner last night. OUT OF NO WHERE?! They were the most adorable dresses in the world. They were perfect. This is another reminder that pregnancy is a great teacher for me. I really need to let go of appearances and appreciate what life is about!!!! Making beautiful babies and having and awesome family, no matter what anyone looks like.
p.s. Pregnant bonus-the wedding is dry so no one will be able to drink without me!!!!!! :)
