New Trend: Decorate Your Baby Bump

New Trend: Decorate Your Baby Bump
14 posted on May 14, 2009

POSTED IN: Blog Posts, Completely Crazy

Our friend and new neighbor across the street is just a couple of weeks away from her due date for a little baby boy. We’ve been out with them where complete strangers comment on her belly and act all giddy with excitement. But a new trend is popping up (pun intended) that may be something to consider for any of you moms-to-be. From the Daily Mail, “for some, the best way to commemorate the experience of pregnancy is with a painted belly.”

Just in case you thought she had too much cake.

If these babies weren’t already in a fetal position, they would be.

Is that a basketball under your shirt? Oh, sorry, guess it is…

This adds a whole new meaning to “fruit of the womb” (get ready to spit out that seed)

Fruits and vegetables appear to be in style

Wow, that is…ummm…weird on so many levels

I think if Lisa and I would have thought about doing something like this, we would probably have done something like this…

For all you moms and moms-to-be, would you paint your baby bump?

    Why not? Some of them are pretty funny, and there’s a million other ways that people get laughs during pregnancy. I’d roll with it! There’s a few other things I’d have to do first, though…lol

    Can I just give my honest opinion? I think it’s weird!
    Ok, now that my honesty is satisfied, if any of my friends do this, I’ll say “Oh, how cute!” along with everyone else who is thinking EXACTLY what I am! :-)
