Pregnant and Soon to be married!

I'm pregnant!!! I just found out that I'm pregnant. I'll be getting married in a month and in the midst of wedding planning I found out about this beautiful life growing inside me :)

Wedding planning can be a major job. You get hectically stressed trying to figure out what should be done, what deadline should be reached and which tasks should be allocated to who. While planning can be tons of fun, it can also be completely stressful. Stress often results in a missing period but what if it isn't actually the stress that's caused your period to vanish???

For I know the plans I have for you, Declares the Lord...

I'm really excited about this baby. He or she will be my first, our first. Somehow since I found out about my baby, I've lost most interest in wedding planning and focus majority of my attention on being pregnant and having a successful pregnancy instead.

My fiancé and I are ecstatic and can't wait to meet our little guy or girl. He or she will be arriving in March 2013.

The world of marriage in itself is extremely new, foreign and takes time to get used to. Add to this the new, foreign and even more unknown world of motherhood and I know that the next year is going to be something big for me. Non the less, I trust and believe this is all part of Gods Great Big Plan for me...

What does the ‘mother of the bride’ do?

A ‘mother of the bride’ fills basically the same role as the maid of Honor plus a little extra. Whether your biological mother, Step mother, Gran mother, close aunt or any other close motherly figure; she should be there for you throughout your new marriage experience not only regarding the wedding planning but with regard to marriage life as well.

Free Wedding Count Down Icon / Gadget / Widget / Tool

Where can I find a wedding or engagement count down tool? How can I make a personalized wedding count down gadget / widget? Is it possible to get something that will count down the days and minutes until I get married?

Look no further! I found the perfect FREE  tool for counting down the days and hours till your big day!

Upon searching for something to aid me in counting down the hours to my wedding as well as display to the world my happiness, I found three great sites with highly customizable tools for creating your own count down. Each of these allow sharing of your new creation to the major social networks (including Facebook and Twitter).

My Count Down

My ultimate favourite is the tool at 'My Count Down'. I love this tool because it's graphics are really awesome. You can't see it that well in the screen shot below but in actuality the clock ticks LITERALLY counting down each second and the fireworks flash. it's really beautiful. Besides that, you customize the names, date and time.

Wedding Count Down Widget

This widget allows you to choose from a number of designs. Just like the tool above, it's fully customizable. It counts down the days to your big day but not the minutes and seconds like the tool above.

Nearly Weds

Newly weds, like the widget above, counts down only the days to your wedding, It's a lot smaller than the first two tools and a bit limited with regards to customizing.

All of these tools are complete MUST HAVES when waiting for your big day to arrive. If you're excited and can't wait for your wedding day chances are you're already counting down the days in your head; why not display your thoughts?  The fact that these can be shared with friends, family and ultimately the world makes it all so much more exciting!

There can also be a lot of confusion, concern, anxiety and stress when it comes to the wedding planning, facing and overcoming new and foreign problems within your new marriage and understanding your new or more advanced relationship. Engagements pose decisions on how to propose, what ring to choose, how long to stay engaged, etc. Wedding planning is flooded with what to do first, where to get married what type of wedding to have, how to have a low budget wedding, family feuds, etc. Marriage itself is flooded with new feelings and emotions, new problems, life with a new person, etc.
