Belly Cast

My friend Naomi came up this weekend to do a belly cast. It made me feel a lot better about my prego body. See this whole time I really haven't been huge. I began looking pregnant, like so strangers could tell, in June. Probably since baby Eve is breech, I don't look as pregnant as I am. No one has believed me when I tell them this baby is coming at the end of August. The common response is "No, you're not big enough!"
Strange enough, that is not at all what I'd like to hear. I want to hear, "Holy crap you're big!" Or something along those lines. Especially now that I really feel preggers. I don't want to hear, "You look good/small/not nearly as pregnant as you say you are." But Naomi came and said "Oh, my god! You're huge!" and that was excellent.
So, the other evening we made a plaster cast of my front - belly and breasts. I got all lathered up with cold cream and we used triangles of the plaster strips that they use for casts and stuff. Some people do casts of their bellys and then hang them on the walls or something. I think that would be a little embarassing. Why do I want my big belly and boobs hanging on the wall, or why would my kid want to see that daily? It is nice to have it done, it made me feel good about my prego body, and its going to a good cause - art! This was all for a sculpture that she's creating.
