Here are photos of my henna belly (it has since darkened and looks very cool), and the belly cast. If you read back to July, I shared my intention of doing both of these before my delivery. I am so happy that I did. The henna design was a blessingway that a wonderful doula, Corina Pinkerton, did for me at her home. She welcomed me with tea, delicious lentil soup, candles, and lots of care. The pics didn't turn out great, but you can see the design. I will also cherish the belly cast for as long as it endures. I'd like to paint a "bean" in the center eventually! My belly actually looks very small in the middle picture. In reality, its huge! Joe and I can't believe how large it has gotten in the last couple of weeks.

Pardon my ignorance, but what does one do wiith a belly cast? Hang it? Prop it on a table? On the floor in a corner? How does the displaying part work? =)
Iv, one has no idea. Hold onto it for nostalgia, unless I get creative enough to paint or collage it and hang it somewhere.
