We're not supremely huge into the whole Halloween scene, yet we do go trick-or-treating, and my children are allowed to dress up in something non-scary.  I usually like to throw something on for fun too.  Two years ago was my very favorite costume...

This year, however, I am stumped.  What does one dress up as with an extra twenty pounds of girth strapped to your mid-section?  Hmmmm.....Let us google, shall we?....

I typed in "maternity halloween", and this is what I found...

Well, that's not bad.  A pregnant female pirate.  I believe it was Anne Bonny, the historical female pirate, who claimed a pregnancy to get out of a hanging.  But for me?  Naaaah....that's so two years ago.

Then how 'bout this?

Hmmm...a nurse.  Pregnant women know nurses.  Nurses know pregnant women.  I'm sorry though, but if any nurse of mine came in wearing those shoes I'd laugh my head off.  Plus I'm not sure I want to be reminded of nurses right now.  Nurses make me think of catheters and medicine drips and pain.  No, a nurse isn't right.

This one looks promising...

On second thought, maybe not.  Since when are halos furry?  And it seems she has borrowed the nurse's shoes.

Here's a cute one...

A pregnant Raggedy Ann!  Cute wig and hat.  I like the big buttons.  Sensible shoes.  Stylish tights.  Tights?  Wait a minute....I can't even slip on my own socks these days.  I can't wear tights.  And I wouldn't want to be responsible for ruining Andy's reputation.

Now, this one is just too much...

Dorothy?!  Wasn't she like 12 years old?  And wasn't her dress a little longer than this number? I know it wasn't shiny.  No, I could not ruin the integrity of classic literature or a beloved movie.  Besides Bridget would never fit in that basket.

I'm sorry....

...I...ahem..I....just...well, I...have no words.  And it takes a lot to render me speechless.  Well, I do have one thing to say:  Either she is not really pregnant or they photo-shopped her ankles.  Period.

*sigh*  I guess it's back to the drawing board.  I'll let you know what I come up with...

I think you should go as a pregnant nun. How funny would that be?!?

Or maybe Mary?

That's really about all I can say...wow. I'm begging you. Out on an orange shirt and go as a pumpkin. Or a black and white shirt and go as a soccer ball. Please...anything but any of those!

ROTFL!!!!!

Oh My! My youngest is going to be Dorthy this year. Her dress is much longer and not shiny. The shoes are very glittery though! LOL! I can't wait to see what you come up with.
Blessings,
Dawn

This is a tough one for certain. I am going to be a mom this year. (lol) My youngest will be Sammy Sosa and my husband is going to be his manager.

How about painting your belly like this http://www.castingkeepsakes.com/Hand-Foot-Casting-Molds-Photo-Gallery-Instructions/main.php?g2_itemId=493 - I personally like the scuba baby! (of course I can suggest such things since my belly will never be inhabited again...) :)

I will tell you an awful story. When I was pregnant with Coie I went to a pregnant girl highschool There were about 40 of us. Anyways, for Halloween, my best friend (at that school) and I went as Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum and we won the best costume prize. I bet you didn't even know that had pregnant teenager schools, did you?

Anyways... maybe you can get Big D to stuff a pillow and be your T. Dum
