Maternity Mehendi

I couldn't resist...Mehendi on the pregnant belly.
I'm approximately 32 weeks pregnant here ... but I'm not counting
(I still need more time, you know me)!


And yes that is Boo, who Ben thinks is the real father!

My sister did the mehendi on my hand (she is so artistic) and I got the mehendi on my belly done at the Indian salon. The Indian lady said (envision a cute little Indian lady accent) "your stomach keeps moving, so it hard for me to do the design." I found out that mehendi turns out darker on your hands and feet because that area of the skin contains more keratin vs. your stomach.
