Week 12

Wedding week!!!!!!!! The best day of my life!! What a week we have had! Monday started with the most amazing concert I have ever been to- P!nk !!! It was so good I joked to Nick that our wedding wouldn't be able to beat it! Ha ha! And that brings us to the wedding celebrations! We arrived home very late Wednesday night and collapsed into bed ready for a jam packed Thursday. We woke up early had a delicious breakfast where Nick conveniently request scrambled eggs so I didn't have to avoid the fried eggs and runny yolk. We got all of the ribbons tied on the bubbles and our table numbers cut out and glued together. Then we headed to Collette's where my little bump was greeted with just as much excitement as we were! We finished off our lolly boxes and got everything packed in the car to head to my 'final' dress fitting!! Well..... The dress lady got the dress on and started to zip it up... IT DIDNT FIT!!!!! My boobs have grown so much that she had to take it out as far as she possibly could so it could do up and I didn't look like I was going to explode out of it! From that drama we headed straight to Manon's House to put the final touches on for the reception. The celebrant met us there and we quickly found out that we NEEDED Nicks birth certificate and we didn't have it!! Let the stress begin!! Luckily we were able to get one on Friday!

Friday was much less dramatic with a family breakfast where I once again avoided runny eggs even though I love them, yummy lunch and then Coll and I headed to the apartment to relax ready for Saturday!

WEDDING DAY!!! It started nice and early for me with our hair and makeup lady getting there before 8 to get started. This kept me busy and distracted until about 1pm when Smith and Alice were dropped off and we started to dress them and then Coll was dressed and before I knew it I had my dress on, my shoes, jewellery and we were out the door. I saw my Dad and Pop first and had to blink back the tears so my makeup wasn't ruined before I got to he aisle!

A very quick car trip later and we were there... Nicks song Waiting on a Woman started to play and I started to cry again. Then our aisle song started and the twins were off, then Coll was off.... Then my turn! I cried! The happiest tears imaginable! As soon as I saw Nick at the end of the aisle I knew I was safe and comfortable! It was an amazing feeling walking towards him. Half an hour later.... I am now Mrs TONGUE and I couldn't be happier!

The rest of the night went perfectly with great food, great company and alot of dancing and photos! I thought I had tricked most people by drinking sparkling apple juice instead of champagne.. But some people caught on! At 10:30 we were whisked off and headed away to start our married life together!

We woke up early Sunday morning to head to breakfast with butterflies in our belly ready to announce Baby T! We had no plan on how we were going to announce it so when we saw Grub and Sue going to leave we took our chance.... "Thankyou everybody for coming... And... We are 13 weeks pregnant!!!!!". Everybody was so surprised and excited and I loved finally being able to talk about it!

So now for this weeks bump photo...

How far along? 12 weeks!

What is the baby up to this week? Baby T now has reflexes, his hands will open and close, his mouth will make sucking movements, eyes will clench and toes will curl! Nerve cells are multiplying and the intestines start to move into their right spot and the kidneys have started to make urine!

Maternity clothes? Not yet but at night I need to undo a button or two because my belly bloats up!

Stretch marks? Nope!

Sleep: Not enough due to the stress and excitement of the wedding!

Best moment this week: Seeing our beautiful Bubba!! The ultrasound on Tuesday was unbelievable! Baby T was kicking me and jumping around like on a trampoline! We could see every perfect little part of him or her! Baby T started to drink and we could see the mouth opening and closing and by the end of it Baby T had managed to flip over and face the other direction! I will put photos at the end for everyone to see!

Miss Anything? Runny eggs!!

Movement: Can't feel anything yet. It was crazy to see Baby T moving around so much in there but I couldn't feel it.

Food cravings: Watermelon still!

Anything making you queasy or sick: Not anything specifically although pumpkin and garlic still make my belly flip a little.

Have you started to show yet: Not yet, but it is really hard underneath my belly button so hopefully I will start to get a bump soon

Gender prediction: Still a girl! We did ask the ultrasound tech to have a look but we couldn't see anything yet.

Labor Signs: No

Belly Button in or out? In

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy! My hormones aren't playing with my head this week so I'm feeling much more like myself!

Looking forward to: August 28th when we have our 20 week scan and hopefully find out the sex!


Well that is all for this week!

Love from us (all 3 of us) xxoo
