Painting one’s pregnant belly is apparently the in thing. The women at both Two Mothers McGill and The Owl and the Octopus have recently posted pictures of their artful abdomens.
T and A at Two Mothers McGill went with an Easter theme; Amanda and Chandra at The Owl and the Octopus did children’s book and television characters.
Amanda and Chandra have been painting and posting just about every week through their pregnancy, so do browse back through their archives. They didn’t post a photo this week, however, because Chandra just had her baby! Go leave them some congratulations for their growing family!
If you feel like engaging in some belly art, but lack inspiration, just go to Google Images and do a search for “painted pregnant bellies.” Wow. I suppose it’s a way to channel those nesting urges into something more interesting than alphabetizing your cereal boxes. Do make sure you’re using super non-toxic stuff if you try it, though.
My friend did this just last week! It was super cute! She had her mom who is a face painter come and paint her up like a monkey…. Tooooo adorable!!
