This is what happens when you forget to hit "Publish"

I sat down to write a post today about how I'm now 3 days overdue and our doc scheduled an induction for November 10th (Marine Corps Birthday, for those of you playing along) as a fail-safe. It was going to be a post about the relief of knowing there's an official end date in sight. But noooooo, I just had to flake out when I wrote a post on the 1st and forget to hit "publish".

So you readers will just have to suck it up and enjoy my now-published-previously-unpublished post. Maybe if I'm lucky I'll update more later. Maybe.

Enjoy

Halloween!

We thought munchkin would be here by now. We were all prepared and set for it. The doc was SURE that my gestational diabetes would have kicked him out pre-halloween, but I guess since I've been able to manage this bugger with diet/exercise I'm just as healthy as a normal pregnant woman. That, and this kid really likes his wombpartment. Can't say I blame him, if I saw an ad on craigslist for a place with free utilities, a constant comfy temp (regardless of outside weather), and free food, I'd be all about it.

So as my hubs and I came to accept that this child would not be joining us on the outside pre-halloween, we realized we were costumeless to go see our friends in Rocky Horror! On the audience costume contest night, no less! TRAVESTY!

So I snuck over to the theater and was kindly given permission by a costumer to borrow a set of costumes.

Now, when you're so pregnant that you pretty much live in sweatpants/tshirts, your options for halloween are limited. Especially on a short notice scenario. However, I made a list of things any pregnant woman could be for Halloween. (Note: a mommy blogger I follow asked for ideas for maternity halloween costumes, and I was DISAPPOINTED that not one of my suggestions made her list. I mean, really. She listed "be a speed bump" or "paint your tummy". You're pregnant. HAVE FUN WITH IT!). Anyway, my list:
- Jabba the Hut - Matt would have gone as Han Solo or Slave Leia. He wanted Solo, to which I replied that he could ONLY if I could freeze him in carbonite. So obviously this lead to a Mexican standoff at high noon in our house, as he enjoys movement of his body...and living (apparently because this whole "carbonite" thing isn't perfected yet, he didn't trust me to create it with an at-home chemistry set. Probably for the best.).
- Juno/16 & Pregnant Girl- 2 sides to play with here. On the Juno side you could do a couples costume and hubs could wear the super-ball-clenching short gym shorts. On the 16/Pregnant side hubs would have to be all Maury-level-cray-cray.
- Shotgun Bride - Obvious. Fun. Easy. Bonus points if you mud up the bridal gown and carry around beer cans all night
- I-Didnt-Know-I-Was-Pregnant Girl - This is fun. Wear normal clothes, pretend to drink, complain of pregnancy-esque symptoms, say you're just getting fat, deny deny deny every logical part of your life saying you're not preggo, and hang a preggo test from your necklace (preferrably a positive one, just to show what a dumbass you are for making it 9 months without knowing), and then start withering in pain and say "I think its my appendix! Or a kidney stone!".

Seeing as Matt didn't want to do any of the above or the costume pieces weren't super easy to find in the costume closet we went with the next best thing...

Happy Halloween Everyone!
