cassie's wedding weekend

cassie's cat buttermilk in his wedding attire

me and laura, all of the bridesmaids dresses but mine looked like hers....i was 24 1/2 weeks by the way!

besides whatever weird crotch hold i am doing in this photo....it is a good one of us! i tried to crop it to no avail!

the beautiful bride! her dress was incredible and perfect for the farm wedding
on another note, once again, i am striking a weird pose...

sorry i have been a bit negligent about blogging for the last week. on monday i spent all day cleaning and getting ready for the wards to come for dinner. then on tuesday i spent the day making fig jelly and running errands for the wedding. i went down to waycross on wednesday to help my mom start to get ready for the bridesmaids brunch for cassie's wedding. then i spent the next few days cleaning up for mom since she was working. everything looked great for the party so it was worth it. the best part was doing the flowers for the party. i love doing flower arrangements!
cassie's wedding was so beautiful! i had to order a different bridesmaids dress to accommodate little bean. as you can tell, even with alterations, the top was still a bit big! the day of the wedding was quite a long one. i had been up since 7 am cleaning for the shower and was on my feet all day... so i was a little nervous about standing for the outdoor wedding and pictures in heels! i didnt faint though---so no attention was taken from the bride :)

the wedding was so incredible...they used all kinds of plants from the farm like okra, sugar cane and corn stalks. on most of the tables they used pecans and they were in the boutonnieres. since it was an outside wedding, we were praying it was not going to rain like it did for mine. everything ended up going perfectly. it was one of the most beautiful weddings i've seen.

on the pregnancy front--things are going well. we finally saw our new doc, dr. tate. i am so so so happy that i decided to change! not only b/c of the insurance issues, but b/c he spent over an hour with us on our first visit getting to know us. he has one of the lowest c section rates in atlanta and is an advocate of natural birth. during the ultrasound we almost saw the sex of the baby b/c we forgot to tell him that we were keeping it a surprise! it was funny bc afterwards benson seemed to wish that we had seen it! i have been really tired for the past week because i was so busy...and i have been growing a lot. i feel like i really have a basketball up front and i have gained 14 pounds at 24 weeks. i love finally having a real bump though! the baby is moving all the time and has decided it likes to hang out really really low, right on my bladder. guess i better get used to it!
