Celebrating My Full Term Pregnancy! 08/31/10
We are nothing short of excited to make it to 37 weeks. We now have a full term baby inside of me and we decided to celebrate.
My husband decided to make me a wonderful breakfast of homemade crepes filled with Nutella, sooo yummy!
Of course, with that good of a start to the day, I was in such a good mood.
My husband then decided that he wanted to take the morning and make my belly cast. He set up the living room with a chair and started opening the package.
We got our belly cast kit at Babies R Us for 19.99. A really good price considering that we were expecting to pay double that. The kit comes with 5 rolls of plaster, vaseline, a plastic floor cover, and a bottle of vaseline.
Once the plastic was set up over my legs and all around me, I started to put vaseline all over my torso. At this point, I am in my undies only. In the meantime, Freddy started to cut pieces of the roll of plaster in different sizes to have ready to dip in water.
He started by using some the wet strips of plaster from my chest down to under my belly. The whole process took about 45 minutes from start to finish.
Once the belly cast was dry enough, we grabbed it from the sides and slowly took it off. We checked it against the light and noticed some weak spots that needed to be reinforced, which we will do in a couple of days.
The reinforcement is done by adding strips of wet plaster to the INSIDE of the belly cast.
Soon enough we we were done and 2pm rolled around. I had my weekly appointment with my midwife so we set off to see her.
After the appointment, we decided to go to the beach!! It was simply an amazing day.
Take a look.
