Let me preface this by saying that my mother is a very sweet woman who is very excited by my pregnancy, and I'm grateful for her support.
However.
Last week we were on the phone and as we were saying goodbye, she said, "Oh, by the way, I found my maternity cape from when I was pregnant with you. It was in a closet. I'm sending it to you in case you want it for the fall and winter. I know styles may have changed since then, but at least you'll have something if you have trouble finding a coat that fits." I knew immediately that the cape would be a no-go but thanked her anyway.
It arrived today, and I tried it on. I thought my husband was going to choke or wet his pants.

So if anyone is in the market for a maternity cape from winter 1981-82, let me know.

Husbands should be like Kleenex: Soft, strong, and disposable.
The hair grows in thick where the horn used to be.
it's like a hobo Mary Poppins. Or a school marm at a nunnery
On the bright side, looks like you have your Halloween costume for the Boston GTG
It's one of the greatest photos to ever grace the world wide web, and I can't stop laughing

I think you could totally pull this off- but when you wear it, remember to twirl and flourish your arms a bunch (sloooowly)
it's elegant. just. like. pregnancy.
Just please wear it when we have the GTG with EAB, please!
Sorry, I was pregnant at that time and I don't quite recall that fashion statement. I could be wrong though
I LOVE this thread.
Also, I'm pretty sure my older sister would wear that unpregnant. She plays WoW, that may sum the situation up pretty well.
After scrolling back and forth three times Mr M votes bibbity bobbity boo.
My classes start tomorrow and I'm as nervous as, well, a school girl, I guess. I needed the laugh and thank you.

Sometimes I wonder if scientists have never seen a sci-fi movie before. "Oh yes, let's create a super species of deer. NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG." I wonder if State Farm offers a Zombie Deer Attack policy. -CaliopeSpidrman
I bet her FUPA's name is Shane, like the gunslinger/drifter of literature.--HappyTummy
That's hot. You should totally wear it in public. I promise, nobody will laugh at you.
You definitely look like a Young Fairygodmother. You know, back before she started doing the hard drugs and hanging out with rats.
We need your mom to send you more stuff. She is muy fashionable!

I keep reopening it just to laugh some more.
Words can't even begin to describe the awesomeness of that Cape!
I vote fairy godmother!
Maybe I don't have a heightened sense of smell, but I've never smelled any vagina on my pants. -- TSD
