I just need to express a little bit of frustration here. My friend is getting married Labor Day weekend. The first “inconvenience” that I got news of is when they planned the wedding an hour and a half away. Ok, I can handle that. One night away might be a good thing. Then later she told me, “Oh, we’re not allowing children at the wedding.” OK, so I can have family watch Emma. They’ll like that. Oh, and I really want all the bridesmaids to stay together. So I can’t sleep with my own husband on our only night away in two years? Oh, and the note from the maid of honor last week: 4 weeks before the wedding we’re giving a bachelorette party and it’s in New Orleans–won’t it be fun?! OK, so now, I have to spend money on a plane ticket for a party only 4 weeks before the wedding. Oh, and let’s not forget I’ll be 7 months pregnant! And guess what news I get today…can you guys be at the wedding on Thursday instead of Friday so we can have a bridesmaids luncheon?? I’m saying no to New Orleans and I’ve already told her we can’t come until Friday because 1-Scott doesn’t have off work and 2-since we can’t bring Emma, I’m not leaving her one more night than I have to. It’s just all too much! I know I signed up for this and I know it happens once in a lifetime but you know, enough is enough. If I were single this would be GREAT! But I’m not. I’m married, I have a child to take care of and am pregnant with another. Oh! And did I mention I now have buy a maternity bridesmaid dress–one I will NEVER wear again. And to top all of this off, our other friend is having her wedding only 7 weeks later at a place 2 hours away when I’ll be 9 months pregnant.
