Spazz

While I have crushes on many of the girls here, I have to say my 2 favorites are Heidi & Carly. All 3 of us joined around the same time and were Jamaica brides from PA. Heidi & I were the first ROR brides on BDW and had to figure out how to plan a wedding there with only each other to go to for advice. I can't thank her enough! I have met both of them in person a couple of times and loved them even more

FYI... I just received mine today. I emailed Chandlyn last week asking her if she knew when it would be sent and she said she had it there and just needed to verify my address (not sure why she didn't contact me; also she definitely had my address, but whatever). So I gave it to her and it was sent within a week. It was dated June 17, so I can see that she has had it for over a month. So if you were married in May or June and haven't received yours yet, I suggest contacting Chandlyn.

I had 85 guests at my wedding and we fit in the downstairs at the Plantation no problem. I can easily see fitting 100 there. If for some reason they won't let you do that (which you should complain about), you can have your reception on the beach. Also, Marcia had at least 100 guests (if I'm remembering correctly?) and hers was in the Plantation a few days before mine.

Amy, you looked amazing!!! Everything looks fabulous and your flower girls are just too cute!

Have a wonderful trip! Even though everything didn't work out as planned, you are still getting married and it's going to be fabulous!

Mo, I am so sorry you're having so many problems. I really hope you're feeling better and don't end up back in the hospital. You just got to your 2nd trimester...isn't that when the nauseau hopefully is supposed to end?

I have no advice. Just wanted to say that I am so so sorry.

Have a fabulous time, Martha! I can't wait to hear all about it and see tons of pics!!!

Congrats on quitting! I know how hard it is. Even though I have a huge reason for motivation (I'm pregnant), it's still a struggle each day. I quit a little over a month ago and was absolutely miserable and moody for the first 2 weeks (I'm surprised my husband didn't leave me when he got hit with a shoe...lol!). Every single day I wake up and still want one, but every night when I go to bed, I congratulate myself for making it through another day. I really don't have any major wisdom, just stick with it. I tried to quit numerous times before (especially after my dad died of lung cancer-related problems) and it never worked until I was 100% committed to quitting.

Carly, they're great! I love your cake. Where did you end up getting the pics done?

Congratulations!!!!

Congrats! It sounds perfect and reminds me so much of my own experience.

When I was at Riu Ocho Rios, it seemed like I saw at least 1, sometimes up to 3 brides every day. There must have been 15-30 weddings during the 10 days that I was there. BUT I was married there too and still felt that I was given the attention I deserved even with so many other weddings going on.

It's beautiful, Jaime! Congrats on finding "the one"!!!

Morgan, I love your pics and you're so talented making your photobooks...it looks so great!

Laura, you look beautiful and Rayden is just the cutest thing! My favorite is the one of the 3 of you walking away...it's awesome!

Everything looks good. It was so exciting to meet our baby for the first time. I was sure it was going to look like an unrecognizable blob but it didn't it looked like a baby with a huge head and tiny body. They said it was kind of too early to get measurements of my cervix which is what I went for so I have to go back Aug. 25th for another ultrasound. The baby's heart was beating 160 bpm and measured big so my due date is moved up from Feb. 10th to Feb. 2nd. I'm so excited! Great news, Mo! I wish I could have an ultrasound every month!

Lankenau is only 5 minutes from my house (it's where I was born!), but I'll be delivering at Hospital of the University of Penn. b/c that's where I work so it's so convenient to go to all of my appointments here. My SIL will deliver at Lankenau. She had her first baby there 3 years ago and loved it there. Is that where you work?

Wow Amy! You 2 look awesome. I can't wai to see the rest

Mo, that's so exciting that you get your first ultrasound today! I had the transvaginal one the other day and it sounds worse than it is. I hardly noticed it because I was so captivated by the baby moving on the screen:)

Thanks for all of the congrats girls! Mike has been wanting kids almost since we've started dating, so he's so excited. Also, 2 of my best friends are due in October and my SIL is due in January, so I'm going to have my own little ready-made mommies group:) Mike wants to find out what we're having, but I don't. At least for the first one, I want to be surprised. But I have 5 nephews and 0 nieces right now, so everyone in my family is dying for the first girl to be born. My SIL is finding out what she's having next month and I'm hoping it's a girl for both of our sakes! I really thought it was going to take awhile for this to happen, so I'm still sort of in shock, but couldn't be happier!

I'm Pregnant!!! I wasn't planning on making an official announcement, but a couple girls have noticed my ticker and noticed that I didn't start a new thread about it (sorry, I'm a bad BDWer sometimes). I'm a little over 8 weeks along. I found out when I was 4 weeks and waited til I saw the doctor this week to put up my ticker and start telling people. Mike & I are very excited about our little honeymoon baby!

Lisa & Martha, that is so cool! I can't wait til I can feel the baby kick.
