Cindy&London

So so so sorry for the double post, but I just received an e-mail from Maribel Blancarte!! She has been assigned to our wedding!! I'm very excited about this.. is anyone working with Maribel?? Any feedback would be great *sigh of relief!!* Thanks Girls

I love the dress, it's gorgeous!! I have been going through the same thing.. I have been secretly looking at dresses online. I think I might go to some shops here in town. I love my dress.. I really do, but I'm having second thoughts. I never thought I would be a 2-dress bride either! I'm a girl with curves too... I guess we will see what happens. I say GET THE DRESS!!

Hi Ladies I'm feeling a little overwhelmed, my sister and brother-in-law are not coming to the wedding as it stands right now. Which is fine, but my BIL said that he was going to do the photography.. he bought a new camera and everything! So, now I'm stuck.. do I use the hotel photog? I have seen the website and their work and the pictures look nice, but I also want to do a TTD session. Do they do that too?? Is it extra?? Who is everyone else using and do you have websites or contact info? Pictures are pretty important to me and I really want some great photos... I'm just feeling lost with only 5 more months to go and just another obsticle to add to many others... *sigh* Any help would be wonderful, thanks so much!!

my photgraphy: lost

Lucky you!! I have emailed Yudelka Kok twice now asking for a WC.. she keeps telling me that she has requested a WC, but still nothing.. I know I'm just being impatient, but I NEED to get the ball rolling!! I feel totally lost with this wedding. My niece may or may not be in the wedding now and my sister and brother-in-law are probably not coming either. My brother-in-law was suposed to be the photographer.. so now I have to start researching that.. I don't even know where to start. Ugh...

This is my dress I tried on about 10 dresses and this was it!! Of course I look like crap from driving 3.5 hrs to get it, but the dress looks awesome and it's light!!

So I recieved an email from Yudelka today!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed I hope an on-site wedding coordinator gets in touch with me soon! Here's the email: Hi Cindy; I cc, Ms. Capilla to please assign an onsite coordinator to your wedding. She will assist you with the wedding details. In order to qualify for the private function promotion you must have a group contract sign. If you do not have a group contract you will not qualify for any promotion. Find a room proposal enclosed. Let me know if you have questions. Regards, YUDELKA KOK Alos, I have the room proposal document if anyone is interested.. just PM me your e-mail address and I will send it to you. It's in .docx form?? It won't let me attach it on here.. Sorry.

She gave me the name of someone whos name escapes me now so i emailed them but no response. Shes very nice yudelka and gets back to you in a short time but she wont give you any added information on anything. Very frustrating. Yes, I can see how that would be frustrating! I emailed her yesterday with some questions, but I haven't heard back from her yet. Does anyone know of someone else we can contact to see if maybe we can be assigned to an on-site coordinator?? Thank you!

I'm just starting my dress shopping this Friday. I'm hoping I'll find something right away since I will be going to the US to try on dresses. Some of the girls were saying that they were just starting their dress shopping as well. If you already have your dress then you should probably get it fitted now and then ask whoever is doing your alterations (if needed) when you should have another fitting.

Great to know!! Thanks for posting!! I have a fan going at night in our room all the time.. I'm always hot. London sleeps in her bassinet in our room, so that makes me feel even better. As for the ear infection thing.. what if the fan is on low on the opposite side of the room?? Also, when did you start putting your baby in their own crib at night?? It makes me nervous.. so I haven't done it yet. London is almost 8 weeks old.

Oh I already asked for the free wedding package and signed my contract.. but I'm assuming I can still chose another package??

Not too bothered, i'm sure the ta will give a nice wee discount for the block booking Oh that sucks Oh well, I'm booknig a private function anyways, but it would have been nice to receive the free one obviously! Thanks for clearing that up though!! Has anyone dealt with Yudelka Kok at the Miami Office?? I spoke with her once on the phone and she seemed nice enough. I emailed her today and asked her a few things.. including if she could send a request for an on-site coordinator because I have many questions and budgeting to do! Just any feedback on her would be great Thanks!

Does anyone know the specifics on recieving a free private function? We had our flights booked online by my FI's uncle and he has time share at MP and is booking our rooms through that as our wedding present. Some of my family are booking through travel agents and some are booking online. As far as I know everyone is staying at MP and we will probably be taking up about 20-25 rooms. Do I need a booking number or something?? I'm so confused on this whole free function topic!!

I told him no and then he said the baby hasn't dropped and I am not effaced or dialated. He then got out his calendar and said if I don't progress on my own then I will be induced on Nov. 5th. I was thrown off by the talk about inducing and even more thrown off because it's my ex's birthday. ha! Anyhow, after he told me about the induction, he walked out....it was then that I realized I needed to ask about the GBS test. So, I HAVE to ask next week FOR SURE! Lisa, I hope your appt goes well! The fair sounds fun, but how are you gonna do the Walk for the Cure? I would have to stop all the time to go potty! Lizz, I am HUGE, and everyone is different. My best friend had a baby almost 4 weeks ago and she only gained 11 pounds her entire pregnancy. Her baby was 7 pounds .05 ounces. I popped at like 12 or 14 weeks or so....I bet it will happen soon then you can wear your maternity clothes. I never felt Noah move much until after 20 weeks. Karma, looks like you will be the next Mommy since Noah is too comfy in here! Yay! I went to my doctor the week before I was due and I was only 3cm dilated and the baby hadn't dropped yet. He scheduled an induction for the Monday after I was due. I think that totally scared me into labour!! I went into labour Tuesday (the same day of my apt) and had my little girl on Wednesday. That and I did TONS of walking and I had a membrane sweep.. which hurt more than my contractions!! If you really want to get the ball rolling I recommend you ask for one.. just be prepared for about 45 secs of torture!! My daughter didn't drop because her arm was stuck. So. after almost 12 hours of labour they gave me the option of c-section or forceps.. I went for the forceps even though I was terrified. It turned out to be the best decision I made though.. they did an awesome job and she didn't have any bruising or marks Anyways, I went way off topic there.. I hope you go into labour before the 5th and don't worry.. baby doesn't always drop. Sometimes they will drop when you go into labour GOOD LUCK!

I've been feeling proud of my little bump until now. Almost every single person said my bump was so cute, but when they found out how far along I am, they all thought I looked so small. I've been stalking 20 week belly bump pics online and now I think I do look too small. I've gained about 10 lbs., but I really don't know where it all went. My waist is thicker and I have a small bump, but that's about it. When did you girls all "pop" I'm starting to get worried, especially because I only feel the baby every so often at night when I lay down; I'm really hoping that nothing is wrong with the baby. I got that alot too!! I was just looking at pictures of me @ 20 wks.. I could still fit into my regular clothes. Everyone is different.. if it's your first then it takes awhile to "pop". I don't think I started to really show until about 26 wks. You probably won't really feel the baby move until about 22 wks. The size of your bump does not determine how healthy your baby is. I carried alot in my back, so I didn't have a huge bump. My daughter was 7lbs 3oz and completely healthy Don't worry.. once you get your bump you won't remember what it was like not to be big and uncomfortable So take advantage of it

and Happy Planning!! Yay for Mexico!!
