Super Pregnancy Senses & Some Final Wedding Arrangements

15w 1d

As Daniel likes to point out, I've developed an acute sense of smell.  Certain smells are enough to set me off and make me nauseous, but others make me want to hunt down the source of the smell.  It's helped me determine what I shouldn't eat and what I'm craving.  I've smelled food I'm craving even when I know I can't actually be smelling it.  Because what I crave seems to change day by day (and sometimes by the hour), I've used it to figure out what my body wants.

I still have evening nausea, but I think I'm finally getting over my constant lack of energy.  I still feel better when I get a nap and get into bed by 10, but I find I'm still fairly functional even if I don't get the nap.  I'm looking at getting more active again, but the heat outside is still hard for me to handle, especially since my water needs have increased.  I may take up my dad's advice and look into a local YMCA for water aerobics or something of that nature.

I realize there hasn't been many updates on the wedding planning lately.  As the wedding gets closer, there are suddenly so many more things to do to get ready for it!  I'm trying to make sure everyone has something in period to wear, but it's hard to do that when most of the people needing outfits talk to my fiance more than I get to talk to them.  He probably thinks I'm nagging by asking them to check on their progress, but I know this needs to get under way now for the outfits to be done by Oct 8.

I've still got to arrange a time for the rehearsal although I don't know if I can expect all the groomsmen to be there or not as my fiance is the main contact person for them.  There's also the marriage license (which includes verifying that our officiant is registered), completing arrangements with the photographer, getting a final headcount for the rehearsal dinner for the restaurant, arranging purchase and pickup of the festival tickets, and figuring out how I'm distributing the tickets to everyone.

I feel like there's a lot to do, yet I also get the feeling that a lot of the hard planning is already done.  It helps to make it clear to people that it's their responsibility to contact us instead of us contacting them.  I guess I'm just frustrated by the fact that I've reached the point where a lot of the final planning is out of my hands and depends on people being responsible.  In the end all I can do is keep track of where things stand and step back to let them do their parts.  I know the wedding day will come together because I've made several backup plans to possible problems (what if the cake doesn't arrive?  what if the photographer can't come?  what if more people than we planned show up? etc.).
