Baby's Birthday Present...and Amanda's Wedding Weekend

One of the perks at my work is that on your birthday you get to wear jeans. So, on the morning of Wednesday, September 22nd, I happily put on a pair of jeans...mind you the same pair that I wore over the weekend, so they were bound to fit.

Except they didn't.

I could not button them up for the life of me. I even weighed myself and didn't see any change in the scale, so I kept trying.

Alas, I had no choice but to do the inevitable.

I had to whip out the BeBand (a subtle-looking maternity band that you can put over your unbuttoned pants that helps keep them up) for the first time...ironically, of all days, on my 30th birthday.

And, I was okay with that. I like to think that little Baby Y just wanted to wish me a happy birthday in a way only Baby Y can :-)

But as the day wore on, I thought - hmm, if my jeans didn't fit, I wonder if that bridesmaid's dress that I just got altered a few weeks ago for Amanda's wedding THIS WEEKEND will fit?

And, luckily, I tried it on because an emergency alteration was needed...and I was good to go for Saturday!

So, yes, my best friend got married on September 25th, and I was blessed with the honor of being her Matron of Honor.

Her wedding weekend was such a blast, especially since my dress actually fit! Baby Y and I happily stood by her side as she said her vows to Matt and partied with her at the reception (we even survived Justin dropping us as we tried to do a dip on the dance floor) until Baby Y got worn out from a busy day of wedding festivities!







Congratulations, Amanda & Matt!!!
