27 Weeks! - Rene's Wedding

I enjoyed getting ready for Rene & Moin's wedding in OUR NEW BEDROOM! LOL.



Iain has laid the floor and all, and it is lovely. So nice!



Slept well in our new room ... nice walls, nice floor, no junk in the room (lets keep it that way!!)



I had to really try hard with the sari as at first, all I could see was this HUGE expanse of belly when I put it on! So on went the belly hugger, and plenty of safety pins later ... we were decent and glamorous!

It's a beautiful sari that Abba bought for me from Bangladesh ... I think Fi and Tanyapa also have similar saris from him. He did well!


It was a lovely evening. Iain drove us all in Mamma & Abba's car. It wasn't that easy to find the place, but we made it!



Had to wait a while to eat, which made Abba poorly - he didn't have emergency snacks like me (oat biscuits) - plus he foolishly had 2 glasses of sweet fruit juice and his wedding favours - chocolates! OMG - I am SO not like that!!!!



I did WANT the drinks and the sweets at the end of the meal, but I want the baby more, so I abstained, and I ate as carefully as I could, although did have a lot of rice - was starving and the food was nice. Tummy suffered a bit later - rich greasy food, spices and all ... but altogether made good choices, and had eaten carefully in preparation, so all was well. So it CAN be done.



Rene and her husband, Uncle, Aunty and Nayem all looked amazing! It was very nice, and we got to hang out with Afsar Uncle & Aunty, Asif Bhai & Rumana Bhabi and the kids, and Iain even got to take part in the 'gate dhorao-ing'.

Dhameer said something very sweet. He was eating and saw my tummy - I was standing nearby talking to his mum, and he said, 'Is that a baby?' and I replied, yes, that's my baby, my son. He's a boy like you.' Well, he got very excited! He said, 'A Boy! That's a boy too!!' (pointing to his mother's tummy)!! She was not best pleased! But he was happy, and he patted my tummy for a while, welcoming my son!
