Showered with Blessings!

Late last week, I went to see the doctor again in order to get permission to travel to Missoula for my shower. Since it's a 7-8 hour drive, I couldn't risk being dialated & giving birth at a picnic table on the side of the road. The appointment went well & not only was I clear to go, I was able to make an appointment to be induced! I (well, we) was/are still ecstatic!

Yes, I want Cashe here & yes, I want him here sooner, but more importantly, this whole process can now be scheduled (something I had been hoping for!) None of this "wait until your water breaks & hope it's not in a restaurant & then hope your family can take the time off to come down in a day's notice."

So ... after that great news, we were on the road the next day & headed "home" to Missoula for my shower. My sister, Alicia put the whole thing together & had much great help from my Mom, my friends & her mother-in-law. It was an absolutely adorable shower & I felt so blessed with those who could make it, those who spoiled Cashe & I & those who put so much effort into making everything go so smoothly.

The shower was held at Alicia's in-laws' home. This is their incredible view of the Bitterroot Valley.

Isn't this cake incredible?! My sister-in-law, Shauna made it! It was gorgeous!

Cindy (Alicia's amazing Mother-in-Law) & I. Do you see a baby bump anywhere?

My dearest little sister & I.

My dearest friend, Amanda. (We've been friends since we were 10. I'm way behind - she has an 8-year-old!)

My incredible sister-in-law, Shauna & I.

My BBBBBBFF, Angela (who traveled all the way from Bozeman for my shower) & I.

Angela's little peanut/my God-daughter, Amara. She's a riot! Loves to suck her fingers & squeal like a taradactyl.

This is me playing the one game we played. I was the biggest LOSER, my Mom shocked me with her answers & Angela scolded her Mom for cheating! It was hysterical!

My Mother-in-Law & I. She couldn't make it to the shower, but made Cashe a beautiful blanket (like she does for all of her grandbabies).

THANK YOU, ALL!!
