Pagan Fertility Maypole Party

I don't really need help with being fertile right now and it was April 1 not May 1 (that would would be too close to the due date), but no matter Kelli and Edison (her Boston Terrier) really know how to throw a party! I know, how many baby showers can one baby have? The answer is they are "baby celebrations" and as many as possible!

Starts out pretty normal - 8 nice girls in a nice apartment
Many gifts of cuteness to include Pregnant Paper Dolls (my favorite is the third trimester doll with the bathrobe, meat cleaver and mis-matched socks)
The maypole dance (thanks, Connie!) about to begin...
Starts to get really wacky with some impromptu maypole limbo-ing...
The homemade sacrificial lamb cake (notice the look of pagan-mania on Kelli's face - oh, and the pacifier in the lambs mouth!)
Edison having a "ball" - He got his own sacrificial lamb doll that he tore to pieces in 10 seconds
The after party - rocking out to Patti Smith's G-L-O-R-I-A and getting cuckoo with the Yerba Mate' tea (the drink of health and friendship in Argentina)
