No this is NOT one of those "I'm mad cuz my preggo MOH/BM will ruin my wedding pics" posts. I actually have always wanted a preggo BM ever since I was little and went to my cousins wedding and she had a preggo BM and the dress was adorable and it looked so cute. IN FACT, i

baby bellies. It's an obsession. So freakin adorable. So nobody get upset at me please, I've seen the responses to when people ask serious questions about kicking their BM out of the wedding party for getting pregnant and it is not pretty.
HOWEVER, I actually do have a legit concern and I don't know how to handle my feelings about it. Heres the dealio: My MOH has been my best friend for 12 years. My wedding is in May. Guess what is ALSO in May...her due date. Not just in the same month...I'm pretty sure it's going to be the same week or even the same day. Her first appointment is Wed so we'll find out then but counting back, it turns up pretty close or even exact. My concern is multi-dimensional.
At the risk of sounding selfish, one concern is just that she won't be able to stand up with me at my wedding. And by stand up, I don't exactly mean physically (even though I'm sure she'll require a chair if she does make it)- I mostly mean emotionally. She may be in the hospital and dealing with her own joyous occasion and not even thinking about my wedding. Which I thoroughly understand and respect, but it is very heartbreaking to think about.
Granted, while I may feel a slight pang of jealousy (this is her second child and my husband and I have been trying a while) I am EXTREMELY happy for her. I am just really disappointed at the prospect that not only is there a possibility that she may not make it to my DESTINATION wedding (28 hrs car ride from where we live since she can't fly in third trimester), I will also not be able to be at the hospital with her during her labor like a good BFF should be. (I missed the birth of her son due to other complications and it actually breaks my heart thinking I might miss this one).
Furthermore, her father is my officiate (not ordained...he's basically an emcee since we're already married- court house elopement, no family present- and we're just having an informal beach ceremony). If she goes into labor on my wedding day or anytime close to it, you can bet he will be at the hospital rather than at my wedding. Even though he basically raised me and he is like a father to me, obviously his biological daughter takes precedence and I respect that.
Do I have a right to feel at least a little bit disappointed in all of this? It actually almost hurts my feelings since I've been planning this for three years. I want to be excited for her, but I think my concerns are overpowering the excitement and I'm coming across bitter, which I don't mean to do at all.....What do I do!?!?
