How I did it
It made me
So very happy 
How I did it: planned in one night, in a long distance phonecall, the night he proposed, booked at the same time. two weeks later we were there and getting married.The most fun you can have ever, especially if you don't gamble and appreciate the mirrors on the ceiling! Read how I did it…

She arrived....
2 months ago
after 16 hours (hard) labour and an emergency c-section.
Weighing in at a fair 8lbs 13oz and measuring 57 cms.
She couldn’t be more perfect!
As we still don't really know
3 months ago
what will happen regarding the birth (BTW I am currently at 39 and 1/2 weeks) as baba T is very fond of doing somersaults, we could be booked in for a c-section on monday, we may not…
So as it could be a situation where I may not be able to do very much for a while after the birth I started looking up how I could help things along, as when I had Sam that was a c-section and the recovery was awful and I didn’t want to find myself in thgat situation again…
Anyhow, I came across a review for a site called seraphina who make post-partum support “belts” I guess you could call them. They apparently help with the recovery of the seperated muscle of the abdomen, the only catch is you have to wear them 24/7! But it is a positive step towards regaining your pre-pregnancy shape.
So after reading a little more (apparently they swear by something similar in Italy) I asked my husband to order me a couple, so in the next few days I will take delivery of one nightime and one daytime post-partum support garment!
I will have to wear them for 10 weeks! But seriously anything that aids recovery and makes you feel a little more human after childbirth can’t hurt can it?
