shopping!!!!

Me and my MoH went out trying on dresses on saturday and first we headed to the bride shop in kingswinford where they had my dress in a 14 which they put me in, thats the first time amy saw me in the dress and she was amazed, then she was dresses in a few dresses, even though they picked them and i felt like they were saying what would look right and not what i liked, so she tried on 3 and the only one that looked nice was the green one (see below for all the pictures). once in the dresses they picked a tiara and a veil and that was when i really believed this is going to happen. after that we went to merry hill brides where we were aloud to take our time to pick through all the bridesmaid dresses and try on more than three, actually i think we tried on about 10 lol as we went along the rack there were so many that would look so good i wanted one, but after trying on there was one that stuck out, it looked very elegant and sophisticated it wasnt like the obvious bridesmaid dress but it was so nice. so after she got back in that dress i was put in my dress and looked at the different veils i could go for and picked a really prety one and we had a picture taken together but when the girl in the shop walked out i checked the price tag and the first thing i noticed as i pulled it out the dress was that i was in a size 12!!!!!!! i was always told that the bride gowns run small and even in normal clothes i havnt been a size 12 in years. i couldnt believe it, when the girl came in she even said that the dress still hade some give to it so it could have been pulled a little tighter, wow. but there is one problem, the bridesmaid dress is a fish tail and if emma is a bridesmaid it may not work with her shape as amy is normally in a 12 to a 14 and she had to wear a 16 so they are quite tight and they are £165 each and then alterations, i will have to have a look to see if i can get them cheaper somewhere, but the biggest problem was at merry hill brides my dress is £905 and then add on to that alterations, it is alot of money so i would probably get my dress from kingswinford shop at £725 as with alterations i cant see it costing as much as £905.

the top 2 pictures are of me and amy fron on with amy in the green 2 piece dress that did look pretty.

the next 2 pictures are of the back of the dresses and the train of my dress, which i didnt think was so big but i like it.

this is my favourite picture as i am loving the dress amy is in this is the one that i would like them to be in or at least the same sort of style, and my dress where i have a tiny waist in the size 12 dress, shame my arms wernt as small.

well here is a bit of not quite so wedding news, it will affect the wedding but not a whole lot unless something comes along. (you will understand that comment soon)

well i should give you the back ground first as you may not understand where i am coming from.

i have got a very severe form of PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) and due to this i do hold onto alot of weight, sometimes its like i only have to think of food and i will gain weight, then there is the hair, i have alot of excess hair, and the main thing is i dont have a propper cycle. i was sent to a specialist to see what could be done, their suggestion was going to a weight management clinic, which i did for a year and a half and lost 10% of my body weight, then i got refered to the specialist, during the weight loss they sent me for tests to check to see if the weight loss was helping me ovulate, i found out i wasnt, so last week i went back to the specialist and he mentioned about metformin, which helps with insulin resistance that is stopping me from losing the excess weight, he said i should have been offered it when i started weight manage ment but i wasnt, the only time i found out about it was when i got frustrated with trying to lose weight and finding it so had it was like i would lose a pound but put 2 back on, so the dr said they have to ask my gp to prescribe the pills but to go in about 3 weeks to see her, then i have to have a scan on my falopian tubes just incase they are blocked or if there is anything else wrong, and they will check daves 'sample' to see if everything is ok his end. the specialist also said that when i am on these pills they can look into fertility treatment straight away, but i said that we wanted to try by just on these pills first until the wedding, as the pills should fix the insulin resistance and regulate my cycle and make me ovulate then if i do become pregnant it would be natural, if this does happen before the wedding then we would deal with it, what i would like to do is in the 10 months before the wedding try not to get pregnant as this wouldnt be a little bit of a problem as i wouldnt be able to be in my dress. realistically i would like for it to happen after the wedding but i would also love to have one sooner as we have gone through so much with my problems that we have built up to the fact that it could happen at any time, so if i do get pregnant it the latest i would like to have given birth by the may or june of 2012 so i will have gotten over the birth and the baby will not need to be attatched to my breast half way through the service, lol.
