6 years, 2 kids, 1 dress

so, i was in a wedding in may and am in another in october. in addition to those, we have been invited to 5 other weddings this summer. so what! so, i became curious. curious about what? about getting married again?? no, but close. i became curious as to whether or not i could still fit into my wedding dress. i mean, it has been almost 6 years since i first wore the dress and i have had 2 kids since that wonderful September day when i became a mrs.

tonight i tried it on. i was nervous about whether or not it was going to zip. i asked chuck for help. he said, "oh it'll be no problem" in response to my doubt about it zipping. he is a kind (& smart) man. well, after sucking in my gut as much as i could, it finally zipped. chuck took some pictures to prove it. it was definitely tighter than it was on my wedding day. it didn't lay quite right around my belly region & my milk producing breasts are slightly larger also, but at least i got the darn thing on. i really love that dress and am now up for a challenge. i have never been one to really work out, but i have a new goal to try to fit back into the dress properly. anway... here are the pics:


and yes, it is zipped all the way
