Halloween pumpkin patch cake

Ok, so I didn't actually make this cake, my sister Heather did. But I thought it was SO cute I thought I would put it out there in case someone was looking for an awesome October cake idea. She used a 9x9 brownie pan for the base and the Wilton ball pan for the pumpkin. Same pan I used for THIS cake. 

I put a straw in the middle to act as a dowel (yes, I helped a little), the straw stuck out about 2 inches. She then doused it with frosting to make the stem. Pretty cute eh? 

Last minute Halloween costume

Today we had a costume contest at work. This was a problem as I didn't plan to dress up this year due to the little hard-to-hide bump I've been sporting. But I didn't want to be a scrooge so I racked my brain and decided to throw something together with what I had. 

Cut out a circle with leftover yellow fabric, throw on some horns and ta-da - you have a deviled egg. Although I didn't win the contest everyone at work loved my costume. Especially since I incorporated my bump. Could you tell what I was? 

My secrets out...

I feel so behind in my big announcement post, especially since my secret has been out of the box for one whole week now! Deke and I discovered we are expecting a little peanut in the spring... yes that's a pregnancy test from the dollar store. Two lines means POSITIVE! 

I called the doctor a few days later and she said she wouldn't see me until I was 10 weeks along. I didn't want to make any announcements until I saw her because I have had little to NO symptoms and needed the confirmation that there was indeed something brewing. 

I shouldn't complain but a little nausea would of made it feel real. But here I am 11 weeks pregnant and still no morning sickness. *Knock on wood*

About 5 days before my appointment I was out to lunch with my sister and mom and got this fortune cookie. (sorry for the horrible quality, it was taken with my phone)

I felt it was a hit ya over the head sign that I should tell them right there and then. So I did. After the squeals of excitement my mom says "I can't believe you told us in a Panda Express!"... I had to mom, the fortune cookie told me to! 

We finally made it to the doctor and to our surprise she wanted to take an ultra sound! I was not expecting this but she likes to get the exact measurements for an accurate due date. This was a treat! 

While taking the measurements the doctor stated that she had never seen a baby in such a perfect position and sit to perfectly for measurement. My response, "So I'll finally have a well behaved child?!?" YES!

Due date May 7th
