7QT - What to do for Halloween at 39 weeks

I was driving home from work one day, getting pummeled by my unborn child, when I realized that I'm going to be 39 weeks pregnant on Halloween. (If I don't have the child early, but that's no fun.) So I started trying to think of non-lame ideas of what to be if I am, in fact, still pregnant and go somewhere that requires a costume besides "huge pregnant lady."

1. The TARDIS

I'm pretty sure the best part of this costume would be getting my husband to dress up as the Doctor. When he just kind of looked at me funny, I informed him that I have an entire person inside my body and he shook his head and went back to making dinner. I dunno, I think it's brilliant.

2. St. Gianna Beretta Molla

I mean, she did give her life for her last child. Also, All Hallows Eve is traditionally about the saints anyway. Plus, all I'd have to do is get a lab coat and a stethoscope, since she was a doctor. And she and her husband are eerily similar to my husband and I, as we discovered by reading their letters.

3. Prego tomato sauce

I don't hate this idea, but I'm not particularly excited about it either. I just prefer it to the zombie baby ripping its way out of the belly costumes. (I may be resorting to Google at this point since I only had two good ideas.) (I couldn't find a good picture, sorry.)

4. Things One and Two

Maybe not this exact method of execution, but it's a cute idea and I wouldn't mind doing it. Yes it's cheesy, but so are 99.9% of costumes anyway. Although it would be funnier if I dressed as the Cat in the Hat and then dressed my children as Thing One, Two, etc. But first I need more than one child.

5. The Death Star

This one just made me chuckle. (Mind you, I'm NOT of the "I'm pregnant so I can bare my belly ALL THE TIME AND NO ONE WILL CARE" school — more like "I'm still me, I didn't show my belly before and I'm not changing that now and don't you dare touch the belly because IT'S NOT YOURS TO TOUCH" school.) Maybe just a shirt patterned like the Death Star, and then Shane can dress up as Emperor Palpatine or Darth Vader or something.

6. Jack O'Lantern

Not really the most creative idea, but since all of my sisters and I were dressed up as a pumpkin for our first Halloweens, no reason not to start the tradition with this child too.

7. 8 Ball

I'm terrible at pool, but it's not a horrid idea. 

So, let's see...one "I want to do this!", a few "this could be interesting", and some "I NEED TO FILL OUT A SEVEN ITEM LIST MUST FIND MORE". I think I'll keep working on Shane about the Tardis.
