Here’s my final costume. It hung from my neck, and I had a yellow feather boa to go with it. The boa is like kitty heroin, though, so I couldn’t include it in the shot.
Chick-U-Bator is a trademarked name. Authenticity is everything.
On the two side eggs, the flap lifted to show a chick (here I only got the butt, oh well) and the center egg included a copy of the ultrasound image, that I had enlarged at Staples.
It took people a while to get it, finally a mother looked at all the flaps and was like . . ." wait, is that YOUR baby? Inside YOU?" As people figured it out, I got congratulated and hugged. Which is a challenge when you’re wearing a large sheet of foamboard.
(NTS scan was fine, according to the perinatologist that did it. My blood is off for the other 3 parts, but we’re feeling good. The fetus was JUMPING AROUND. Like my uterus was a TRAMPOLINE. heartrate is 154, measuring 6.55 cm, and measuring 13w, but I’m 12w3d. Does that mean I’m in for a big baby? With my genetics, um, probably.)
Absolutely NO offense is meant here, but your ultrasound picture looks like a calavera (skeleton from Day of the Dead imagery). Little tyke got into the spirit of Halloween! My two charmers were Guinevere and the Scream mask.
Great costume, I love hearing how people reacted to it. And happy anniversary!
