Yesterday in a post I mentioned a link on decorating the bump (pics are included in that momversation piece). Apparently, painted pregnant bellies are becoming a trend.
The American Pregnancy Association says moms-to-be are becoming inspired by dressed-up belly photos online.
What do you think? Would you celebrate the bump by painting it, or with a henna tattoo?

I did a heart for Valentine's day, lol. I don't think I'd like anything that covered my whole belly--that would feel too confining. But small decorations or a henna tattoo I wouldn't mind.
I had planned on doing a jackolantern halloween 07 with my DD. But she came 2 weeks early on October 28, lol!
I never thought about it...humm...but I bet my kids would love to do it!!!! Thanks for an idea to break up the Saterday morning "I'm bored, Mommy and it's too cold to play outside" blues.......I'm heading to the cabinet to find the crayola paints....GREAT Idea!!!! LOL.
I think it is really cool! I'd like to it, but with my luck I'd break out in a rash, cause my skin is so sensitive and I'm allergice to a lot of things.
Check out my profile, I uploaded a pic of my girls painting a picture for their new baby sis----ON THE BELLY!!!! It was fun, I painted theirs too! But now it is dry and cracking and itchy....so off to the shower we go. A great Sat morning project while hubby is working overtime today! Thanks for the idea =).
My mom has been bugging me non-stop about doing henna. I don't know why she cares so much, but I'll do it to appease her. :)

I suppose henna wouldn't be too bad, but I wouldn't want my already ichy belly to have paint all over it, i'd prolly end up scratching it off!
