The Great Pumpkin!

I turned 38 weeks on Friday, October 24th. Bean is still "cooking". I truly thought I wouldn't make it this far. And since I'm in the safety zone and no longer on bed rest, I decided to go to a Halloween party Saturday night. So I rested up all day Friday to have enough energy for the big fun. No one loves a costume party more than Dave, so I knew this would just make his day for me to agree to go to the party.
Here are our costumes...I won 1st place in the costume contest. Or I suppose I should say my belly won 1st place! Guess Baby Bean was a pumpkin seed for Halloween this year! Ha!

Yes, that's right. I cut a hole in a shirt so my belly could stick out through it. Then I painted my belly orange like a pumpkin. Dave did the eyes, nose and mouth -- he did an excellent job! Lots of people were confused if it was really my belly or if it was a plastic shell! This is the only time in my life I will ever expose a part of my body that is abnormally huge and awkward!
