SO everyone probably knows that Jennifer and Andy were getting married this weekend- I talked about it non stop and I've been so excited! I skipped work on Friday to do fun pre-wedding stuff, went to the batchelorette party (at Skate Country- so fun!), got our nails done, had a wonderful bridal brunch, and then had a great rehearsal and dinner.
Thats when the fun ended. Friday night I got really really sick (read- uber morning sickness). Ultimately we went to the hospital early Saturday morning and spent several hours there with Justin sweetly sitting by my bed while I went in and out of a medicated doze- the good news is the baby was kicking around and doing fine. We left the hospital at 9am, in time for a nap before getting ready for the wedding. My mom came over to do my hair (since I missed the hair appointments), my make up, and got me ready since I was still feeling lousy. We got to the church, where I spent a little time with Jennifer- these are moments I will cherish.
Soon thereafter, Justin and I were sitting int he church waiting for picture when I vomited all over my hair, dress, shoes, the pew, and the floor. Great. Justin got me washed up for one picture with Jen. Then we left. My biggest disappointment in this pregnancy: I completely missed Jennifer and Andy's wedding.
Jennifer is one of my best friends and married her perfect partner. I did get to see what a beautiful bride she was, and I got to see the exchange of vows during the rehearsal, but I missed the real thing. I know they will have a lifetime of happiness and we'll all look back at this as a memorable story, but I'm still shocked and really upset that I missed it. Justin promises I can lord this story over the baby when he's older.... I'm so lucky to have such understanding and good hearted friends, and such an amazing, caring, and supportive husband.
And yes, I'm lucky that despite all the craziness going on in my body the baby continues to thrive- what a relief.

Oh NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! I am SO sorry you were so sick and missed out on such a fun, much-anticipated occasion for such awfulness.
Of course, I know you and Justin are keeping things in perspective, as is typical. And I'm very glad to hear Baby D-S/J is doing well. But still! Very sucky.
If it makes you feel any better, I had a VIP have to leave my wedding because of illness and I was (though sad he missed it) barely aware. Of course, his was due to a self-induced meth crash, not a pregnancy complication, so kind of different.
