Saturday was the big wedding day! I was excited to get all dolled up, but nervous about how Brynn would do. It was going to be a long day. I showed up at the salon at 9:15 am. I was getting my manicure, then my hair done, and then make-up. Dan was meeting the boys at 10 so he hung around with Brynn until then. It worked perfect, because he took her on a little car ride, she fell asleep, we put her in the stroller, and she napped! She woke up after my hair was done... I was able to feed her, change her, and she was happy until we left the salon at like 12:30-1.
We finally got to the church and got Shannon into her dress! She was so calm and cool, and beautiful. She and Nick had some alone time, and the rest of us girls got our dresses on-- and I got Brynn to sleep once again. She slept through all the family pictures, which was good because she napped, but sad because she wasn't in them! She woke up right at 3:30, giving me just enough time to feed her quick before the wedding began at 4 pm. She was so happy and alert during the wedding-- and good for Dan. Once the wedding was over, Brynn was going to be off with my mom while we were on the limo. I felt bad about sending her off, but my mom reassured me it was fine. Brynn was a rockstar! She slept the whole time! By time we got back to the reception, she was still sleeping. She woke up right when dinner was being served, and right before my Matron of Honor speech-- so it was perfect! Dan's dad was awesome and came down and picked her up, and took her for the night.
As far as the wedding and reception-- it was perfect... and SO fun. Obviously, I think mine and Dan's wedding was the best :o) but Shannon's was super fun for a traditional wedding. I didn't want to leave the dance floor-- and I really didn't I was paying for it on Sunday because my c-section incision was hurting! I must have really over done it! My feet also were sore until Tuesday! So worth it though.
Onto another subject-- my physical therapy for my pelvic pain. I am making progress. I went in for a follow up appt on Tuesday and my Dr. was pleased with the progress I have made so far. I need to keep doing my stretches and stuff so hopefully it only continues to get better.
Today, I took Brynnie to the zoo for the first time! She basically slept the whole time, but she was so good. It was super hot so we did the outdoor stuff first before it got too hot. We went with Amis and her two kiddos. I decided to buy a membership as well, since it pays itself so fast. I am sure I will go a few more times, too before the summer is over. It is only a 5 minute drive from my house! I am looking forward to bringing her when she is actually awake to see things :o)
This weekend we have a birthday celebration for my Grandma, and will be getting together with Dan's mom and family on Monday. The weather is supposed to be beautiful all weekend, so hopefully they are finally right. I am also hoping to get Brynn into the pool tomorrow finally for the first time!
Hope everyone has a safe and Happy 4th of July!!
