Pregnancy is a time of amazing never ending changes. Your breasts change size and shape... your belly expands and makes room for your growing belly. You look and feel different. Feel good about those changes...
Take a picture every week, in the same place and position. Make a silhouette picture every month of your ever changing baby belly and breasts. Henna your belly. Paint your belly. Show off your decorated belly off now that it's getting warmer. If you are brave wear clothes that emphasize your changing shape.
Create a belly cast- this is a three-dimensional mask that you can decorate or leave plain. This is perfect for actually being able to see and feel and remember where your gorgeous baby lived before he or she was born. You can do just your belly - sometimes called a belly bowl, your belly and breasts or even one with your arms cradled around your tummy in a permanent hug. Check the web for images of poses you may want to try! There are a variety of plaster kits are available online and in local pregnancy shops or you can just visit a medical supply shop for fast drying plaster gauze. Can be messy and fun and well worth the time. Be as creative as you would like! Make as a Birth announcement, draw pictures that inspire you (Tree of life, pet name or glam it up!) whatever calls to you do it, let your imagination run free!
Whatever you do to honor your changing shape, remember it is all for the beautiful babe inside you and the mother you are becoming. Honor the changes... all of them! Even the yucky ones, like morning sickness or your swollen kaankles!
