The Pregnant Matron of Honor

Well Mai and Phil's wedding has finally happened. There were so many brides all over the city of Philadelphia, it was crazy.

I was really worried the dress wouldn't fit, since I am now 12 weeks pregnant. The back of the dress was intricate and looked like a corset. Unfortunately, I couldn't fit the back piece in, but everyone said it was fine to show a little skin. Although the weaving of the strings covered most of back.

Even though this is terrible to admit, I drank very little all Saturday afternoon. The wedding was on a tight schedule and unfortunately, there were only porta potties at the Japanese Garden where the ceremony took place. I felt weak, but surprisingly made it through.

By the time the reception took place, I somehow was ready to eat. Which was strange. My appetite has been small for weeks now. And then suddenly at the hibachi grill, I ate like a pig. I ate fried rice, roast beef, chicken and broccoli, hibachi vegetables, a roll with butter, beef with veggies, salmon, asparagus, and two different kinds of cake. It was so delicious.

But within an hour of finishing, my tummy expanded so much, the corset portion of the dress was getting tighter and tighter. I could feel it pinching deep into my skin, right above my belly. So I ended up sitting for most of the night.

I am definitely starting to show now. And it looks like I will definitely have to be hitting the maternity store next week. I am really shocked I am showing already. It looks like I definitely need to tell my boss now.
