After trying on at least 8 wedding dresses and without any intention of choosing one or buying one, I left the bridal shop with instructions to come back in April for my first fitting. Lucky that they all come in a standard size 12!
It is so beautiful.
So beautiful in fact that my Mum wouldn't let me leave the shop without her 'at least' putting a deposit down (thanks Mum).
My six year old niece proclaimed 'That's the one Laus, that. is. the. one'
It was double the budget - but worth it.
Today I bought my first ever 'tankini' for my holiday next week - a sign of the times. We've also agreed on a wedding date and venue and have booked the church, all very exciting. I am confused about whether I should be trying on dresses now with small bump or wait until after?
Some exciting news: I fainted on the train the other day - I was in such a daze that I couldn't quite work out how I was standing on the platform of Hornsey station when I had previously been sitting down reading the metro. The Doc seems to think that the baby moved for the first time which can often lead to fainting - I did not know this. Anyway a kind lady helped me off the train (in Hornsey) so I was ok. Kinda. I had to then stand on a packed train all the way to Moorgate.
Now, have a great weekend peeps, now if I don't see you before next Thurs see you when I get back from Egypt!

Cheese.
Ecstatic that I won 4 tickets to the Heineken Cup Final on Sunday - Go WASPS!
I have mostly been running to the loo this weekend as a little someone appears to be squashing my bladder at the most inappropriate times.
My belly is growing, an odd sensation - particularly when I catch my reflection in the mirror (usually on the way to the loo) - this usually is followed by a 'oh yes, I am pregnant' moment.
I have my first appointment with my midwife on Wednesday and am dreading having a blood test. People find it hard to believe that a) this scares me and b) that I have never had one. Well I haven't needed one before. Scared.
I watched 'Adrift' on Saturday evening and despite being based upon true events, it really is a disturbing concept for a movie. I watched it but didn't really like it.
I caught some of Eurovision, ridiculous as per usual but I didn't get to see the UK entry, thankfully. I actually really liked the Irish song and it would have been so much better if the singer could actually, well, sing. Beautiful melody but it came last - we could have given them deux points too and we didn't.. boo to UK voters! ;o)
Anyway, enough jibba jabba - I have blueberries to eat!
I've been poorly. Considering I haven't had a sniff of morning sickness I didnt appreciate being hit by a bug and bed-bound for a couple of days, nasty.
Anyway, I had my scan and all is well - may I introduce ...
