YAY!!! My Dress Fit! LOTS of PIP :)
Today was and exciting day for me 
I went to try my dress on for the first time today since it came in! AND my brother came with me...(that meant a lot to me because my brother won't be able to make it to the wedding, but I wanted his approval of the dress and I wanted him to see me in it)
I was extremely nervous going in since I did order my dress a bit smaller than what I measured back in September... BUT I am happy to report that it zipped up and fit like a glove... At this point in time very minor alterations need to be done, but I'm sure come April 26th (My first fitting) I will hopefully need it taken in.
The scary thing for me is that the shop said the latest I can go in to start alterations was the end of April, which still seem early for me... So I need to be at my goal weight or close to it by April and then hope I maintain it till the wedding... Does this frighten anyone else?
Anyway...here are TONS of pics... I took pics with all my shoes... Just need to figure out how I'm going to wear them all...lol... The veil in the pics is not mine... I was just trying on some that they had in the store.
Thanks for letting me share my excitement!

Sam... Let's do this! I've got a lot of motivation now.. I have my BPics on 4/21 and my fitting on 4/26 and I know you are right there with me...we got this! ...lol...
@Nicole... for my hair, I've been planning to wear it up because it doesn't do well in the heat.... But I really started to like the way it looks down...:( Not sure if I should risk being uncomfortable though. Still finalizing that decision...

[QUOTE]Yay! Glad all went well! I didn't take my dress in for alterations until maybe 6 weeks before the wedding!? Are you dead set on having them done at the shop where you bought the dress? I would ask them what happens if your weight flucturates between then and the wedding and make sure they are prepared to make any minor nips and tucks.

On a side note, my first fitting it May 6th and I am not getting married very much later than you.
I started my alterations 2 months out. I have had it taken in twice and they were scheduling my apppintments every 2-3 weeks, but the intial cost included as many alterations as needed so you may want to check and see if your place is the same. Good luck!
