It’s a couple weeks early, but what the hey. Some of these ladies may not be pregnant two weeks from now. 😛 The fetus holding the tiny trick or treat bucket is so cute. 😃 Actually all the costumes are very imaginative. What did the fetus say to its pregnant host on Halloween?

Cute! My sister went as a pregnant nun, with her husband as a demonic priest. I was the fallen sister; carried a Playgirl around and drank and smoked, lol. On a flip note, my mom dragged 3 of us around with a pillow stuffed to make it look like she was pregnant; we named the pillow Penelope, and sure enough, 6 years later when my sister was born, we all wanted to name her Penelope. (She lucked out and my mom said NO, lol) ---

The best one I’ve seen was a zombie hand & arm, complete with some bone showing, clawing it’s way out of it’s zombie mother. ---

My sister dressed up as a “vestal virgin”, white diaphanous gown with gold cord ties just above her ginormous 8-month pregnancy. Hilarious. People who ran into her later on at the con were surprised to see that she really was pregnant. 😃 ---

While 8 months pregnant with my brother, my mom wore a wedding dress and carried a shot gun. … Wait for it… … She was a “shotgun wedding”!! 🙂 ---

The wrap party for the Simpsons’ first season was held in a bowling alley. Nancy Cartwright (voice of Bart and some others) was nine months pregnant at the time. She had a friend make her a white jumpsuit with a red line around her baby bump. She was a bowling pin! ---

I went as a deviled egg when I was pregnant. I think I stole the idea from someone on this board actually. White shirt with a yellow felt circle glued to the belly section. Devil horns and a tail. So easy and I won second place in the costume contest at the party I went to.
