Yesterday was my brother-in-law’s wedding- the one I mentioned in the previous blog.  Good news:  I did NOT have the baby during the ceremony! :) That was my only goal yesterday, and I was successful! However, I wanted to have my baby today, and so far that is not happening either. :(

My brother-in-law and his fiance used the same church/reception area and pastor that Tim and I had used for our wedding almost a year ago.  Tim was the best man, so naturally we were at the rehearsal.  I must say, it was very strange to me rehearsing for some one’s wedding in the same situation that I rehearsed for my own wedding.  Every time our pastor would announce them by their Mr. and Mrs. last names, I would look at him as if he were doing it wrong and say to myself, “No, that’s me and Tim.”  We even let them use the majority of our wedding music!  However, I wouldn’t say that they copied us in any way.  Tim and I’s wedding colors were blue, pearl, and sliver.  They used rose red, black, and ivory.  It all looked very good together and they set up the reception area very differently from how I did.  The main difference was the food.  We had our wedding catered.  They set up a chocolate fountain and had loads of beautiful red strawberries all around it, with candy and nut dishes on the side.  It looked very beautiful and classy with all the red decor.  I wouldn’t have ever thought to have a strawberry wedding, and I never did end up asking the Bride whose idea it was.  The ceremony was also different from ours.  Our pastor has a different message for each couple he marries, based upon the time he has spent with them in premarital counseling.  I must say, if you have a good pastor- I would HIGHLY recommend premarital counseling.  It helps you avoid so many issues that could come up later on and really helps with communication between you and your future spouse.  Even if you don’t think you need it, once you’ve gone you’ll realize what it was you would have been missing out on.

Above is an ultrasound of Levi’s face at 34 weeks of pregnancy.  As I mentioned before, I really wanted to have him today.  He never promised me he’d come out today and I realize today isn’t over, but I know its not happening. :(   I understand that I have VERY high hopes of having him any day now and I don’t like to think about the truth.  The truth being that I could end up going to or past my original due date ( May 8 ) regardless of the fact that Levi dropped all the way 3 weeks ago.  Still, the doc did say he’ll probably be early, so it could happen.  I have a cervical exam Tuesday, which I am both looking forward to, and dreading.  I don’t want to do the exam, I just want to know the results!!!  I will be bitterly disappointed if my cervix shows no signs of being ready yet, but I’ll deal with it.  Every one has told me that I am getting my hopes up quite a bit in my expectations of having him early, and I’ve never denied they are right.  However, I can deal with letting myself down pretty easily, and I’d rather be excited right now than feel as if things were dragging on and I still have two and half (ish) weeks to go.

I have to work tomorrow, so I don’t know if I’ll have anything interesting to say then!  My work days consist of working on the computer, answering emails, taking phone calls, taking a walk on my lunch break, going home, eating dinner, watching a movie, hanging out with Tim, and going to bed.  That may sum up my day tomorrow, but who knows? Maybe I will have Levi tomorrow (I know, I know)!
