And my favorite childhood memory.
And I’ve even said thank you for being a friend.
But for the most part, I just end up with costume envy.
So this year, I took to the interwebs. I scoured to Pinterest and Google for a little inspiration. To find some sort of inspiration for festooning this fetus and boasting the bump. And I am here to tell you that it would appear that Halloween is not meant for this girl while harboring a human.
Unless I want to paint my belly {absolutely will not be happening}.
Or be completely batty with a breakout baby {This seems like awful karma as I am trying to keep this one in as long as possible}.
And then there’s always the option of a very literal skeleton {for some reason, this creeps me out. I don’t really know why. But it does}.
And my favorite, the opportunity to dress up like a lactating animal {because that is not de-humanizing at all, given the fact that in a few mere months, I will be hooked up to a machine or to a babe in order to be milked. Ahhhmazing.}
So, after much searching, I still don’t have grand plans. I thought about Jackie Kennedy {if only I had the right coat. hat. wig. cigarette…what?} or a mummy {a la Jessica Simpson} but am still, for the moment, without a functioning costume. So, it would appear that for this Halloween, the Beeb and I have no real direction other than pilfering as many Twix out of Barrett and Jonah’s collected candy as possible and once again, admiring others for their flawless and fabulous execution. But I would love to know what you and your little ones will be creating for costumes this year and what you would be if you were bearing a bump on the front?
