Anyone else dressing up their bump for Halloween?

in April 2016 Moms
Pretty excited about all of the cool ideas out there for dressing up your bump! Zombie babies poking out, Barbie "Miley" on a bump "wrecking ball", bun in the oven... soo cool! Just wondering if anyone else is incorporating their bump into a costume? 

I usually dress up at the office, and for passing out candy, so this year I am going as a Magic 8 Ball. All black, and made an "8" for my belly and an icosahedron (totally had to look up what the thingy with the answers was called!). Pretty excited, and it's easy enough to look professional if I happen to have someone come in with a compliance issue. 

Here are the props - I'll post a pic with it put together tomorrow!

    Love it! I had actually not seen that idea in my bump costume searching until yesterday, saw it for the first time and thought it was adorable. I really wanted to do the skeleton baby tshirt but I had a really hard time justifying spending $30 for a tshirt on etsy (ok, DH had a hard time justifying and said it wasn't worth it for one day...) and all the ones that cost less were either not maternity or poorly made. Bummer :(

    I'll be "baby"wearing our 16 month old monkey so mine will be hidden. And honestly, it's not big enough to dress up anyway :)

    I got a shirt, but only because our SM "announcement" will be a photo of DH and I with me wearing that shirt. DH is dying to announce but I like to keep private life private, so that's our compromise. Plus side, it's my first maternity shirt and I realized how comfy it was when I tried it on.

    @imrachellea I had the same dilemma with the Skelebaby shirt... saw some DIYs for it but kept putting it off, and then it was too late. 

    @AmadorRose I liked that shirt too! Cute way to subtly announce!

    I'm going to a Halloween party at a friend's house. I ordered a kangaroo costume from Amazon that has a baby kangaroo in the pouch. Not exactly dressing the bump but still incorporating the baby, and the costume is hilarious.

    My girls are going as Anna and Elsa, my husband will be Cristoff (sp?), the dog will be Sven, and I will be Olaf. My tummy isn't big enough to pull off anything else. I was thinking about adding one of the Olaf sneeze creatures if I have time.

    I thought about wearing a red shirt and putting a on a "Thing 1" sticker, and a "Thing 2" sticker on my belly. 

    All of it's fun though... bump or no bump! If I had the patience, I would have waited until my costume to announce!

    DH and me are doing the skeleton shirts. The bump isn't big enough to do anything too fun.

    My husband just gave me this exact one today!

    I don't have a bump or I would go as mike wazowski from monsters inc and make DS be silly. Two years ago I was 20-21 weeks on Halloween and didn't have a bump either. I'll have to plan number 3 two be due in November so I can dress up a bump! Lol

    Fourth BFP 8/2015, hoping for sticky little brother or sister to H!

    I went as an 8 ball when I was pregnant with DD, but I was 8 months pregnant and much more rotund.

    My husband and I will be announcing to our friends at our Halloween party (I'll be 15+1). I wanted a subtle costume and the best we could come up with was Quinn and Puck from "Glee" - so to a lot of people will think we're just a cheerleader and football player, but we're hoping it will slowly be figured out :)

    We are doing a Trunk or treat event and none of our costumes coordinate lol. We are dressing up our trunk as cookie monster, I'm going as an xray (got the baby skeleton shirt and made a silver frame with Xray at the top to wear around the shirt), DH is going as Mr. Incredible. He had his heart set on it and I couldn't find a maternity elastigirl costume.

    I wore the skeleton shirt and this was also my announcements to my students that I was expecting. I had told them that I had a surprise for them on Friday and when one of my students saw my shirt, he had asked me if I ate a skeleton for breakfast.

    I'm going to a party as a knocked up 50s housewife and my husband is going as a milkman. I don't have much of a bump so I might enhance it with a pillow!

    Here's my previous bump because I wanted to shamelessly AW ;) 

    PS. this is from our city's downtown trick or treat that they do over lunch (10-2) on the last weekday before Halloween. So great because it ends up all 0-4ish year old kids and they give out things like little toys, kids books and animal crackers along with the typical candy. The littles get to participate and still be in bed early :-bd

    @brittnyS10- Naturally, I didn't finish the costume until yesterday but I got DH a long sleeve red shirt and glued yellow yarn all over the front.  Then I painted styrofoam balls brown and glued those onto the shirt too. It turned out really well and our friends loved it!

    Thanks! I painted it at work for a Halloween party thing. It turned out a lot better than I thought it would.
