    Pregnancy fun
    Could anyone maybe list some fun things (memories) to do while your pregnant? Something like a belly cast or 3 d ultrsasound... something like those memories. :)

    Halloween is coming up, and there are lots of fun ideas you can try for that, if you happen to indulge in it.

    I've seen a few neat painted tummies... pumpkins mostly (you can probaby Google pictures of these), as well as thinking up some fun costume ideas.

    I guess I kind of veer towards the bizarre... but I saw a zombie marathon once, and a woman was pregnant, and had a zombie cabbage patch baby alongside her bump... it was pretty fun. Pregnant nun is always a bit outlandish.

    Belly casts are neat and feel really cool. A cool photo idea that would keep your memories alive that I thought was cool was putting like... dad's and mom's hands... maybe fingers interlocked in a pretty black and white photo. If you have other kids, add their hands too. :)

    Painting/airbrushing feels really cool too.

    Keep a daily journal of your feeling, how much the baby moves, funny things. I did this for all of my kids and then gave the journals to them when they had kids and they loved them.


    Good luck and best wishes to you for a healthy happy baby

    Along with the diary idea... keep a photo diary of how your body changes. Take a weekly picture in the same spot and watch the transformation as your body changes, your belly grows.
    Treat yourself to the occasional pregnancy massage.
    Make connections and friends with other pregnant women in a prenatal yoga class or other such class.

    I had fun with my pregnancy scrapbook. We recently went to a place that takes a photo of the dad and mom and it can tell you how your child might look for the future. It was for fun and the picture is added to the scrapbook can wait to see in the future if it is true.

    Also, I wrote a letter to my unborn child and put it in the scrapbook too.

    Lastly, I let family and friends write a brief statement to my unborn child. Everyone wrote something like" You better listen to mom and dad, can't wait to meet you,etc. My mom and fiancé wrote the most touching words. I have a few more people that needs to sign.

    I also read to my belly everyday and he seems to like one book because he moves a lot when I read it. The same goes for the music that I put to my belly. All of that is recorded as well.

    Try this along with the above idea, Congratulations.

    I wanted to tell you that yesterday I went and got 3D sonogram and along with the picuture and cd I brought a teddy bear with my baby recorded heart beat. Now whenever I want to listen to my baby heartbeat I can press the button on the teddy bear and listen and it will be going in the baby crib and kept as a keepsake. Also, I brought a keychain with a sonogram picture in it. At my last doctor's visit my doctor gave me a print out of the my baby heartbeat and I added that to my scrap book. How you thought of anything else?

    Along with Halloween costume ideas, I once saw a pregnant woman paint her belly like that one eyed monster from Monsters Inc and her husband was the big blue monster. It was cute. She said everything was home made
