Belly cast
Before Maggie got pregnant we saw a story on CNN about a store in Georgia that makes fiberglass belly casts for expectant mothers. They looked pretty cool and it seemed like a great keepsake of the pregnancy.

We got the home kit that consists of several rolls of gauze already impregnated with plaster, some gloves, and a tube of vaseline. They advise the mother to wear an old set of underwear because everything gets covered in the vaseline to insure the plaster cast will release from the skin properly.
Well it took a bit longer than we thought but it was lots of fun. Hopefully the final fiberglass cast will turn out great!
