Josie is in a wedding this June. The bride was over today, and giving me some details about hair and make up and photos and all that stuff. They have a suite at the hotel, and then they're taking a limo over to the venue. It's less than a 10 minute ride, but I told her that Josie can get ready with the girls and stay in her street clothes (which happens to be the cutest button down with her monogram on it that the bride bought for all the girls in her bridal party) and she can slip into her flower girl dress at the venue because I want to take her in our car, so she's in a car seat. I'm probably not going to change my mind on this one, and the bride doesn't really care, but I'm curious if I'm being over protective.

wineallthetime, I’ll be thinking of you. It sounds like you’re in good hands. Hopefully baby just kicks back and stays out for as long as possible.

guster, for our wedding N came in the limo with us without his car seat. He was 18 months at the time. But our flower girl went with her mom and then met us at the photo location which I was fine with. Because you won’t be in the limo I would probably do the same as you have planned.

Our second day here is so much easier. We saw C running and used that as motivation to hit the gym. Then we talked to the boys (Colin was raving about getting a balloon from the store) before meeting C for a boozy brunch. It's gorgeous, I'm a little buzzed, life is good!

I'm pretty sure limos are like cabs. You don't need to be strapped into the car seat. I would be OK with her being with the girls without me, but I'm not too keen on the no car seat thing.

guster I'd have her with me in a car seat and wouldn't question it. Plus the bride might prefer not having Littles in the limo so adult things could be said.

trtlcrzy, I'm looking at our weather and wondering how things are where you are...❄⚡☔ So far it’s just overcast. It’s supposed to rain at some point this evening and turn into snow overnight. Last prediction I saw was 3-6in. Happy March.

Do you have power yet, wedding? They changed CT's estimate to 7pm but our house is still out. I'm not even there and I'm getting more anxious by the minute.

Son of a bitch @wineallthetine. I hope that baby stays out for awhile. Please let us know if you need anything!!!!! I’m serious. We can amazon prime whatever you need.
I hope L is feeling better soon.

joelies your trip sounds like a good time as a couple. When do you head back? Tuesday, late morning. If our flight is on time and traffic isn't too bad, we'll be able to pick the boys up.

We just went swimming. Lol.
We raked a gazillion leaves. Remember last weekend when we raked up 14 bags? Today it was 20.
The wind kept blowing and adding more leaves to the yard. Awesome.

We got power back! However C is sick so our excitement was short lived. He spent the day with my parents and he looked pale when they came home but it’s been a busy weekend so I figured he was tired. But once we were home he had the chills so I took his temp 102.3. I leave for the airport at 11am so Dh needs to stay home with him. Hopefully it’s a quick thing. Poor Dh is exhausted and was definitely looking forward to going to work tomorrow. He also hates March and so far it’s lived up to his expectations so he’s getting jaded quick. Sigh.

So you aren't in the limo, right? Absolutely not. And if I was the bride I don't think I'd want a 4 year old without mom riding in the limo. In my head (and we did not have kids in or at our wedding), that ringer bearers and flower girls just show up at times when they are required but don't partake in the whole day festovot with the parties, unless family. So pictures and walking down the aisle, and then dancing and being cute.

tallb, that's where I am with this. She is family, but it's all just too much. I'm all about streamlining it for ease. Well, and safety, too, with the car seat situation.

Can your DH go pick them up for you? Yes! I ordered on Thurs and they said 1.5-2 weeks. I ordered them from our eye center just down the street so that's good!

Man, I'm such a live blogger today, sorry! My nurse is seeing if we can up my anxiety med dose. I'm feeling ok, but definitely anxious. Hoping an upped dose can wipe some of it out, especially because I'm really anxious about delivery!

Hoping an upped dose can wipe some of it out, especially because I'm really anxious about delivery! I can't imagine. A situation like this would make me a wreck if I was already struggling with "regular" anxiety. Good call on upping the dose...anything to help get you through to the other side of this. Fingers and toes crossed that baby stays put for now!
