Henna Belly






Yes, I live in Boulder... and yes, I decided to embrace my inner hippie and get a henna tattoo on my belly.  Don't worry - this will wash off in a couple weeks, so my hippie days are numbered. Isn't it beautiful?

Not only does it make me feel pretty despite having a big belly, it was fun, relaxing, and smelled wonderful (like eucalyptus oil and lemon). I would highly recommend it!

It's going to stay on for a couple weeks? haha, that means you could give birth with it on. Which is funny to me. I love that you did this.

Wow, living in Boulder is really starting to have an impact on you. Don't see much of that around these parts. ;) If it is still on after you have him, it should be interesting to see the design shrink with your stomach- not that you are even that big. You look great!

So true, Liv. It will be like a balloon with a smiley face and when the balloon deflates, the smiley face gets all scrunched up and nasty looking. Haha! Just another thing to add to the body weirdness after birth.

Every time I think of this story I laugh out loud. You are so funny. It looks awesome though. I am envious that you have embraced your inner Boulder hippee!

I must confess, I'd really like some pictures of the deflated belly. :)
