October 26, 2009 Best Halloween Strategies
You’re still trying to decide between the sexy witch costume and the sexy vampire nurse costume, aren’t you? Or is it just that you’re hoping to make it through Halloween weekend without anyone noticing the fun-size candy bar wrappers overflowing from your purse?
What we’re really hoping is that this year you’ll make an effort. Pregnant women’s costume choices range from spooky (pregnant witch) to serious (pregnant vampire nurse), but it’s the women with viable, ambulatory children who we address in this week’s post with our intellectually superior Halloween costume guide.
But we haven’t forgotten our pregnant friends! We have a nice visualization for you up on the front page. Light a candle, take some deep breaths, and try to remember what it’s like not being a bloated, hormonal mess.
My baby’s 8 months old and I still can’t visualize not being a bloated, hormonal mess. Maybe it’s because I’ve been forgetting to light a candle. (Can bloated, hormonal messes safely light candles?)
Thanks for the costume suggestions, but of course I can’t use anything I got off a website or it wouldn’t be *truly* *original.* Still, thanks to your guidance I’m now thinking I could either be Georgia O’Keefe (my baby can be a large bloomed flower) (NOT an Anne Geddes bloomed flower; larger and more abstract), or maybe I’ll be a local City Council candidate, (if I can remember her name), and dress my baby as a campaign promise.
