My beautiful neice...Again!

I'm having a really hard time coming to terms with recent events. I really did think I was okay, but apparently, I'm not. My heart is physically hurting. It hurts so much I can't even describe it.
Anyway, I've not eaten anything hardly for a couple of weeks. This is probably a good thing, because in that 2 weeks, I've lost 1.5 inches around my back. I lost 5 kilograms last week alone!

This weekend was a busy one for me.

Saturday morning I had another dress fitting. Although my dress now fits comfortably, I'm still having the back taken apart and replaced with a corset. I think it will look nicer anyway, and it means that the dress will be unique.

Saturday afternoon we went to visit SIL. She lives around 25 miles away. It's a long drive which takes around an hour since there's a lot of hills to drive over and most of the way it's only 30MPH! We got there for around 4:00pm and didn't leave till like 8:00pm, so it was a long day overall.

Today we had planned to visit my other SIL, and she was cooking dinner for us. We left the house at midday, and we just got home (it's midnight)! We did other stuff too, but today was also a long day!

We spent a few hours with SIL, BIL & my neice. We also had dinner.

My neice is growing up way too fast! She's 3 months old now, and a real chatterbox. She had her 2nd set of injections this week and she was very sleepy. She was having a bath when we arrived as we were early, and then she slept for around 2 hours in her rocking chair thing. I then held her and she slept on me for over an hour...Although I was talking to her trying to wake her up - I wanted photographs! She wasn't having any of it!

We woke her up about 10 minutes after we needed to have left, so I did get my photo-time, allbeit just a few minutes! In that few minutes, there were a million expressions, and I managed to take 95 photographs, so it wasn't all bad!

This evening we met up with the vicar to discuss the wedding service. Since we didn't leave SIL's till late, we missed the church service, but our appointment with the vicar wasn't till 7:00pm, so we were on time for that. My Dad had been to the service though.

The vicar asked us about where we met and how long we've been together etc. He also asked about where we worked and how long we've been engaged and why we wanted a church service. My Dad has put some ideas forward for hymns, since he was with us at the meeting too. We're not 100% decided on what we want yet though!

I'm sure when the vicar adds up the dates of us meeting, he'll realize I was far too young to be in a nightclub! Heh!

Anyway, some pics of my neice:
