Belly Casting

Well thanks to my friend Emily Neeld, I am going to do a belly cast of baby Lilly! It is SOOOOO cool! I have heard of people doing this so they can remember the fun times of being pregnant! Emily has a art degree and this is right up her alley! I was reminded last night of it when I was watching the Bachelor on TV. They (the girls) did a bust cast for breast cancer research. It was so cool! They go to paint it with whatever they wanted and then they were going to be sold, and the $ was going to go toward cancer research! Anyways, I have wanted to do this since we found out it was a girl. It would have been cool if I could have done this with Christian, but I am going to put this in her room, and I think that it would have been a little weird if I would have had a cast of my bust and belly in my sons room! So I did belly pictures with him instead! I will do this instead of pictures with Lilly. Something special for each of them! Anyways here are a few pictures of what they look like! It is SO cool, at least I think it is. Other people might think that it is weird! Oh well! I will have it painted pink with butterflies and her name on it! I will post pictures of it when I get it done. I will wait till I am about 7mths along so it is a really good cast! Enjoy the pictures!

I'm excited you've decided to do it! Wait as long as you can before baby comes - I think we did mine around 38 weeks. Even now, I can't believe I was ever that huge. LOL Mine has been sitting in my studio waiting for something to be done with it. 17 months after she was born, I'm finally starting on the painting.

Have fun! Totally be sure to cover your pubes by tucking saran wrap in and around your underwear. Plaster is not easily removable from pubic hair, and it can get painful. LOL And use lots and lots of petroleum jelly on your belly, and be prepared for a huge mess. :o)

It's different...but I think pretty cool. :) I'm excited to see it when it's finished! The butterflies are a perfect idea.
