My wonderfully amazing friends...
They thought of every little detail to add to the blessing. My FAVORITE....Bella Rosa Chocolate Chip cake...yummy.
My friend, Marcelle, remembered that my favorite food (seriously...well, it's tied for my favorite with smores) is chocolate covered strawberries.
Umm....well kind of an inside joke but I thought I really needed to post this just to confirm that I have some of the dorky-ist friends (not pictured but none the less dorky behind the lens, photojournalist and marathon runner Jen Nev).
Rinn was seriously an angel. Everytime she opened a gift she would say something nice like "ohhhh...Jude really needs that" or "OH! That's great!" Such a sweetie pie.
This is my "Oh, look how fancy I am" look with my new Rowdy bag....you gotta admit, I do look fancy-smanshy.
I had to post one pic of my sis Mika. I know (as several of you mentioned) I look nothing like her (ie: the skinny legs, long fingers, curly hair...all around cuteness). She was making comments throughout the shower that were cracking me up. She knows me way to good. 
All the fun stuff for Ju Ju Bee. 
These friends have been through the best of rejoicing and the sadness of mourning with us during this process. I am so incredibly overwhelmed with God blessing me by surrounding me with some of the best people in the whole world. It truly is amazing. My friends never get tired of blessing and giving, it is incredible.
Through this process I have grown so close to my friends and family. It has been incredible times of joy and intense times of sorrow and through it all they have stood closely by. Going through something like this is someone else's life is incredibly taxing. At times, they might think "okay, enough is enough..." but my friends and family have not done that.
At this shower, I really felt like many of those there have prayed for Jude just as I have, honestly. With their whole being. Bringing Jude home safely has been a journey for all of us. A journey of prayer and faith.
God is so good. So amazingly, abundantly, overwhelmingly good.

What a beautiful cake! I loved all the sweet gifts! Our shower is next week and I can't wait to start "stocking" the nursery! It's getting so close to getting our babies!!
So sad I missed that. We do have great friends, don't we?
How much do I love that your favorite food is s'mores and chocolate covered strawberries? If we lived in the same town, we could go get "dinner" together often. :)
That cake looks AWESOME!!
What sweet sweet friends! I love that cake! It is so beautiful! Any idea when you get to go get your baby?! I will be home for a visit soon! I fly into to meet the fam in Dallas on Dec.12th. So I will have from the 14th till Christmas in Edmond. I am thinking ahead so that we can hopefully work out a time to get together for lunch or dinner or something! I'm so glad to get to read and keep up with ya'lls journey! Love you!
What a fun shower! They really did go all out on the details. I'm feeling a little bit of pressure now for a shower I'm hosting this week. Ugh.
Wonderful friends. Beautiful gifts. Sweet baby needs to come home soon!
