Not really.
\nMy babies come more through heartache, fasting, and\u00a0a plane ride – \u00a0than contractions. Ladies, I’ve been planning my sister’s baby shower (see Pinterest board here<\/a>)…
\nbut now she<\/strong> is having contractions.<\/em>
\nAnd I’m not talking the\u00a0braxton hicks kind.\u00a0 <\/em>\u00a0This was not in the plan.<\/em><\/p>\n

Below\u00a0is the collection I created for her event.\u00a0<\/em>\"\"<\/em><\/a>\"\"<\/em><\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/em>\u00a0Now I will admit, I\u00a0should have seen this coming.\u00a0
\nMy sister has always been a bit of an overachiever being a doctor and all.\u00a0 But\u00a0in all honesty,\u00a0\u00a0I’m a\u00a0wee bit\u00a0disappointed in her.
\nBecause with every reported dilated centimeter, I am witnessing \u00a0my brilliant “Create What The Baby will Look Like game with creepy cut out pictures of the mom and dad’s facial features<\/em>” fade away into the sunset.\u00a0 Believe me when I say, it was going to be epic<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u00a0I’m not saying, I can’t work around it.\u00a0 We did it before with my BFF’s shower<\/a>.\u00a0 Having perfect Beatrix <\/a><\/a>in attendance seriously was a pure delight.\u00a0\u00a0 That being said,\u00a0my sister\u00a0was supposed to be in attendance at\u00a0my Deathly Hallows Dinner Ball tonight and not the hospital.<\/p>\n

But I guess if she conjures up a nephew for me – all will easily be forgiven.\u00a0 Meanwhile, I am off to help\u00a0set up a wedding right now – and then back to the hospital – and then\u00a0back to the Deathly Hallows Dinner Ball set up.<\/p>\n

My\u00a0theme today is …\"\"<\/p>\n

Needless to say, my new tradition of Freebie Friday will be postponed until Saturday – which may end up becoming a tradition in and of itself.\u00a0\u00a0 But I hope you will forgive me as quickly as I am my sister because take a look at what I did yesterday…\"\"<\/p>\n

Yes, ladies.\u00a0\u00a0I finally did a whole how-to\u00a0make perfectly frosted cupcakes without losing your mind.\u00a0 On Monday, I will show you how to do two different kind of perfect cupcake frostings and then we will continue the series throughout the month with more fun easy frosting techniques to awe and amaze your loved ones and frenemies.\u00a0 I can’t wait!!<\/p>\n

Staying Calm and Conjuring up Patronus Charms,<\/p>\n
