Wedding November 26 and second pregnancy

My sister and me she was my made of honor.  Her other arm had a cast on it and she was trying to pinch my butt.

So we had to call my brothers and sisters let them know I'm getting married ASAP, we called my aunt that lived about 6 hours away and we called my grandparents who couldn't come.  We called Jer's brothers, his one brother was studying for a major test in college.  After we called he was so shocked he stopped studying. Jer's parents called his aunts and uncles.  Jer's dad has 7 siblings, yes they are Catholic.  I didn't know what his aunts and uncles were told. 

We decided to get married the day after Thanksgiving.  I found the dress and my mom made my bouquet with silk flowers on a lace fan.  It turned out beautiful, but my mom finished my bouquet about 3am the night before the wedding.  My sister Laurel was my made of honor and Jer's brother was his best man.

My family called Jeremy,  troll,  because he had the craziest hair.  My dad compared him to the troll dolls with the jewelry in the belly button.  My family should have scared every guy off.  It was so bad that my nieces would call Jer, uncle troll.  Yes we are relentless when it comes to teasing.  I still don't know why he didn't run away years ago.

Well tucked into my bouquet my mom put in gummy trolls.  You couldn't tell as I walked down the aisle but they were in there hidden in the flowers.  What a sense of humor, right.  You know at everyones first weding that is where you should be making jokes.   I was annoyed at the time but now it is hillarious, I have quite a story to tell.

We didn't have any friends at the wedding just family and there were about 40 people.  We did the reception at the beginning of January.  The wedding was perfect for me it was small and about us getting married not about having the favors, food, and all the craziness.  In almost 3 weeks from today we will be married 17 years so it worked out well for us.

When I was about 22 weeks pregnant I started to have problems.  I woke up one morning to more than just spotting.  I went into the doctor and they couldn't find any problems.  I took it easy for a week no heavy lifting and I thought everything was fine.  For the rest of the pregnancy I had spotting and cramping.  I was constantly going into the doctor for problems.  At 7 months after another sonogram I was told that my baby wasn't growing right.  He was very small for his gestation.  I was put on a high calorie diet.  I was terrified I didn't want to lose this baby too.  I would gain as much weight as needed if it meant I had a healthy baby.
