Private Notes
In the premiere episode, Bethenny launches the next chapter of her life – marriage and a baby. Bethenny is thrilled to be asked to walk in a fashion show as it gives her the opportunity to show the world her baby bump. Meanwhile, Bethenny’s fiancé Jason wants to plan a housewarming party, but they soon realize they have two very different approaches to life. With her business burgeoning and a wedding to plan, Bethenny needs to hire someone to assist to her already beleaguered assistant Julie…but Jason has issues with job requirements. She also decides to start facing her past issues head on by beginning therapy.
With her nuptials just around the corner, it’s time for Bethenny to meet with her wedding planner and finally start solidifying plans. Jason’s mom comes to town to help Bethenny shop for wedding dresses. Bethenny also has plenty of work to do promoting her Skinny girl books and developing her own skincare line. In the end, the one who needs the most help is her beloved dog Cookie, who has been behaving badly.
Bethenny prepares to leave for her combined bachelor and bachelorette party in Atlantic City, but realizes that planning a wedding and keeping her business going is much more hectic and time consuming than she thought. With decisions needing to be made left and right, it all comes to a head when she breaks down while on the trip. Bethenny cheers up and manages to have a great time at her bachelorette party when she gets the news that the hotel she desperately wanted to have her wedding at is available.
Bethenny’s wedding day is approaching and she has many details to take care of including attending her bridal shower hosted by fellow housewife Alex McCord. Panic sets in when Bethenny goes for her final wedding dress fitting and realizes it might be too small by the time she walks down the aisle. The stress is heightened by the fact that Jason doesn’t want to participate in the planning process and that Bethenny won’t have any of her own family members there on her big day. With the wedding just around the corner, it’s suddenly time for the rehearsal brunch. Amid all the stress, Bethenny puts on a brave face and manages to find some peace and enjoy the day with Jason and her friends.
Bethenny's wedding day has finally arrived, and she is still working on the final touches for her new book. Ever the multi-tasker, Bethenny finishes up her work in time to start getting ready and to greet the revolving door of friends and family. Just as Bethenny is about to walk down the aisle, she gets herself into a "bathroom situation" and Julie comes to the rescue. Bethenny eventually makes it to the altar to recite her vows and become Mrs. Hoppy.
With wedding behind them, it's time for Bethenny and Jason to relax and enjoy their honeymoon in St Bart. Anxiety kicks in when the discussion leans towards the pending arrival of the baby. Bethenny promises to keep her hormones in check if Jason can remember to stay calm. The honeymoon is over too quickly and it is time for Bethenny and Jason to head home to New York City to prepare for the birth of their baby.
With only a few weeks until motherhood, Bethenny realizes she's not fully prepared for the baby's arrival. She completes a crash course in childcare with maternity guru Rosie Pope just as her water breaks - four weeks before her due date! Jason rushes Bethenny to the hospital and after 12 hours of labor, they are ready for the newest member of their family to enter the world.
Bethenny and Jason are thrilled that their new little bundle of joy, Bryn, is happy and healthy. They quickly realize that their lives are about to change dramatically as feedings and diaper changes take priority over everything else. Bethenny is delighted when Jason, Max and Chuck fix up the baby's nursery just in time for the grandparents visit to see their first grandchild.
Since little Bryn Hoppy decided to come one month early, plans for the baby shower had to be moved. Alex McCord and event planner extraordinaire Shawn Rabideau decide on a beautiful and relaxing New York spa to celebrate. With one occasion over and Bryn getting stronger by the day, the whole extended Hoppy family decides to head off to Montauk for a good old-fashioned summer weekend. But just as Bethenny is enjoying her time away from the real world, business is calling and not waiting for nap time to be over. Having it all is all about juggling, and more than ever, Bethenny will have to do her best to make it work and get back to her most important role as Mommy.
