Showered with Love

This past month we have been showered with love and support by so many people! Chase and I are so excited and cannot wait for Piper to be here! Currently I am 35 weeks/one day and most definitely counting down the days until we meet our Sweet P! Huge thank you to all of those who came and showered us with love in Auburn and Decatur. We have the best family and friends ever! I cannot wait for our last two showers, one in Enterprise and one in Huntsville in September. Words cannot express how thankful we are for everyones support, encouragement and prayers during this special time in Chases and my life!
