More baby shower stuff!

First off, I am so flattered by how many people have RSVPed, I am so blessed! My only wish is that Ian's family members could be here, but with them being so far away the most important thing is that they come when hes born/about to be born instead! Yesterday was great (besides the fact one of my teeth is majorly screwed up and it hurts REALLY bad, going to make an appointment and get some antibiotics - have pain killers that I'm allowed to take already, but it still hurts really bad). My mom and I went out and got some more stuff for the shower. We got some really awesome truffles to include in favor bags, and some other things. Basically everything is done, we still have to shop for prizes, but other than that just a few finishing details. I'm glad my mom is including me in the shower process.. she cares about everything being the way I want it to be, which is amazing. The highlight of the day was definitely going to professional cake shop (Cakes Galore) to order/design/pick flavors for the shower cake. We are very excited about the cake! It is 2 tiered, like a wedding cake, the large bottom tier will be light yellow with baby blue polka dots, the smaller top tier will be baby blue with pale light yellow polka dots. In front of the bottom tier is a sign that says "Welcome Raine", and on the top of the cake will be a fabric ribbon and a duckie. I wanted it to be VERY simple, as I don't care for over-the-top cakes. I think it should turn out lovely! Speaking of food some of the things we are serving are Swedish meatballs, Mandarin salad, Puffs stuffed with chicken salad, mini ham sandwiches, the classics like pasta and potatoe salad, fresh fruit, etc. Yum! My mom is THE ABSOLUTE BEST MOTHER EVER PERIOD! Its undisputed. Shes amazing! She always pulls things together flawlessly, and puts so much thought and love into it. I'm so thankful to have her, I hope to someday be half the mom she is to me to Raine. She is truly my hero, and by far the most beautiful person inside and out in the universe. After the pregnancy is over, I am planning on getting portrait tattoos of both my mom and my grandmother. I will most likely have to travel to get it done the way I want them to be, theres a couple of out of state artists I have in mind. I have saved space on my arms for the portraits. Of course I'll get something for Raine as well, most likely get his name right away after hes born then get something else to add to it later.

Wow that was a lot of babble, I have a habit of doing that lately! I've got more to write, but I'm going to wait till this evening and make another entry. Its 7am, so I'm going to go lay down a bit longer.
