Casted!

Belly casted that is! We wanted to make a belly cast and have it painted because we thought it would be a neat way to preserve how Zoe was before she met the world. Now was the best time to do so since my belly is at a good size. We found a cool kit at Target by Pearhead which had pretty good reviews.

The process was actually much easier than we thought it would be. You just grease the belly so that the stuff doesn't stick to your skin. Then you take these pieces of mesh, which seem to have the plaster on it and soak in warm water right before applying it to the area you want casted. And just keep redoing the process all over and then add layers and layers until you've used all the mesh up. It didn't get hot and I was pretty comfortable during the entire time.

Here's my belly!

Ohh, don't mind those red stains on the towel there. Those are from the strawberry compote I made for our strawberry pancakes yesterday. Hahaha!
