The wedding!

Well the wedding went off without a hitch for the bride and groom! Ceremony went smooth, Keira and the other flower girl did very well and walked very sweetly down the aisle hand in hand, everyone said I DO, and I now have a new sister-in-law! Yeah. The reception was great. Everything went well there too. Food was good, the cake was FANTASTIC, just ask Keira who had her cake before her meal (Uncle Ryan specifically requested this for her), and people (note: not us) partied well into the night! I don't have a lot of pics (explanation for that below), but I posted a few.

Unfortunately, Wade and I did not make the ceremony. At about 11:30 AM on Saturday, I got a fairly intense pain in my left side that left me really unable to move/walk/do anything it hurt so bad. Wasn't contractions, just a solid, sharp pain in my side. At first I thought maybe baby was just wedged in there funny, but I tried laying on either side to get her to move and nothing seemed to make this pain go away. Of course, I was by myself with Keira when this happened. Wade had gone to lunch with the other groomsmen and Mom and Mark were out shopping on Michigan Ave. So after a few frantic phone calls, everyone made it back to the hotel and Wade and I headed to the ER, which thankfully was just across the street. I'll spare you all the details, but after being there for 4 or 5 hours, they finally decided that I have either a fractured rib or separated ribs - which when looked at on ultrasound, you could see baby had her foot right in them, which was causing the incredible pain. They gave me some pain meds and we were finally able to get her to move which helped tremendously. So, that was a lot of fun. Thus far, the pain has not returned, I am just sore in that area. Doc said to be prepared as she could stick the feet back there at anytime and it would likely cause the same amount of pain as they don't expect the ribs to heal until after she is born. More fun. We were able to make it to the reception, so that was good. And now, we are just hoping the next 6 weeks pass quickly!!!

This weekend is the big "move" for us. Moving some larger furniture to storage, the playroom to downstairs, and converting the playroom to the nursery so this little one can have her own room! Wish poor Wade luck - on top of all that moving, there is lots of yard work to be done since we were gone last weekend, he'd like to watch a full day of football on sunday since he missed it last sunday (something he may never forgive Suzie for!) and I have curtains for him to hang! Keira and I will be at a birthday party ;)

Guess that is it for today - hope everyone is doing well!
