Earlier this month my twin sister married the guy she's been with for over 5 years. I had the pleasure of being Matron of Honor! woot woot.. though I will say my toast to the couple got a little goofed up when I forgot half of my speech, but it worked out. The ceremony and reception turned out very nice and my sister looked gorgeous! It was good getting to catch up with everyone especially family and friends that I haven't seen in months or years. Everybody asked me the same questions though, I know they asked because they care and wanted to know how things were but after a hundred times in a couple of hours of the same questions I was getting tired. Mostly questions about Adam, where he was, what he's doing over there, when he will be home and if he can come back for the birth of the baby. Truth is I can't fully answer any of those questions. It sucked being reminded every time I talked to somebody that my husband wasn't there. As happy as I was for my sister and her new hubby and to be around family and friends, I couldn't help but be a little sad. The other half of my heart was missing and of course several of "our" songs were played which made me smile. One of the cute things he used to do was randomly play one of our songs and dance with me in the living room. I definitely miss that and hearing those songs at the wedding made me miss it even more. All in all though it was a good time and I must say I rocked a pair of high heels and everybody was surprised.. well folks just because I'm pregnant doesn't mean I always have to sacrifice glamour! Though you can bet your sweet butt that I kicked those heels off as soon as we got into the reception.. hehe ;)
I've noticed this past month I have become extremely emotional.. to the point that it's pretty pathetic actually but I can't even help it most of the time! I could cry over a damn commercial or a story on facebook, how sad is that?! Maybe normal for some people but I'm usually not an emotional person whatsoever so the fact that I can cry at the drop of a hat lately is quite frustrating but also funny in a way. I think every single time I get done talking to Adam I burst into tears. Obviously I love him and miss him more than words can describe but it's not different than it was a few months ago so I don't know why I'm so upset lately, I'm just going to chalk it up to hormones! On a good note, I went with my mother in law to register at Babies-R-Us and Target for the baby :) It literally took all day, I was expecting to get it done in like 2 or 3 hrs tops but it was more like 6hrs.. granted we had to make a longer drive to get to Babies R Us and we also stopped for lunch, but still.. 6hrs?! Also on a good note, I've finally got dates set for my baby showers. The one for Adams side of the family will be the 17th of November and the one for my side of the family will be on the 18th, getting invitations sent out this week and I hope to see everyone there!
