The mac to my cheese

For this year's Halloween costume choices we decided to put the belly to good use.  I looked on Pinterest and checked out pregnancy forums for pregnancy costume ideas, and most of them were either gross or shameful.  The two most popular that I saw were the pumpkin belly (which I did for the carving party) or the zombie baby popping out of the shirt (so gross!).  There was also a list of very insulting ideas, such as being Jabba the Hut or a cow (talk about playing up one's insecurities about being fat and disgusting).  After all that research I narrowed my options down to two, either a 50s housewife and milkman or Juno and Pauly Bleeker.  Jeremy quickly nixed the milkman/housewife thing because he is proud of being the husband and legitimate father, and when it comes to husbands, Jeremy is pretty boss, so Juno it was.

Let me tell you, that was the most comfortable Halloween costume in the history of time!  Sweatshirt, T-shirt, skirt, jeans, sneakers?!  Amazing!  Pretty cheap too, all I had to buy was the orange and white striped shirt and the skirt, both of which I found at Goodwill, no problem.  I also found some gold basketball shorts for Jeremy that were longer than track shorts since he was worried about being cold.  He invested in the movie authentic hoodie and some sweatbands to really make it work.  I think we looked pretty spot on!

I carried around the DVD to make sure people could appreciate the authenticity/know who we were

Overall I think we put the belly to good use.  A fellow party-goer thought it was fake, which I enjoyed a little.  That would be serious commitment to the costume!  So exciting to think that next year we can try for a costume tri-fecta instead of a couples costume.  Hopefully the Bun will cooperate more than Roxy does!
