ONE WEEK LEFT UNTIL MY DUE DATE!!!! And I am ready to be done. The question of the hour seems to be "Are you still working" and the answer is yes, I am still working. My last day is going to be Tuesday. Then its just a waiting game waiting for Miss Thing to arrive. As you can see, I'm still very high and pregnant:







So to celebrate my changing shape, I bought a belly cast kit. This is essentially a box of supplies that hospitals once used to make plaster casts before fiberglass came along. Relying on The Husband's fine arts background, I put him to work. Turns out, he's made casts before- when he was in high school. But, perfectionist and professional he is, he took his task very seriously. It was messy, it was a little uncomfortable, but I am very pleased with the results.



It's been a while since I've last "sat" for The Husband. I won't be begging to be cast in plaster again anytime soon.

Our finished project:
(well, it's not finished yet- The Huspand says he's going to paint and finish it- make it fancy and suitable for hanging in our home as "art")
