Wedding in Ft Worth

My best friend from college, Ashley, got married this past weekend. I was a bridesmaid, so we had to get there early for all the wedding festivities. Ash, when you read this, don't feel guilty, but I'm just being honest here. This wedding created so much anxiety for me from the moment she told me the date. It was falling exactly one month after Adeline's due date.

My anxiety started with worrying about whether or not I'd fit and/or look ridiculous in a bridesmaid gown one month after giving birth. The dress shop lady convinced me to order a size 10 when I normally wear a size 2-4. Needless to say, the dress was huge and I had to get it completely altered 2 weeks before the wedding.

Then my anxiety turned into anxiety over whether or not I would be able to pump enough milk for all the times I couldn't feed Adeline myself. I worked so hard the 2 weeks before the wedding pumping after every feeding and only getting like 1 ounce at a time, but I did finally end up with 5 bottles worth.

Then my anxiety focused on whether or not I would pack everything a one month old would need for a weekend away. You should have seen the look on the bellman's face when we told him, "Yes, all of that is going up to our room."

Finally, my anxiety was fear over how well Adeline would do in the carseat for 6+ hours. She did cry for 2 of the 7 hours on the way there, but slept like an angel all the way home except for when we stopped to feed her. So, as you can see, even though I stressed and worried about this wedding for approximately 10 months, everything turned out beautifully. God really does answer prayers!

Everything was perfect at Peter & Ashley's wedding. She looked absolutely beautiful and we all had a wonderful time.

I'll leave you with a picture of my little family. We didn't get around to making Christmas cards this year (I promise to do better next year), so this will have to suffice!
