breaking the rules big-time. BARE belly PIP. BEWARE.

you've been warned.  turned back now if you will lose your appetite for lunch.

really.

last chance.

okay, you asked for it . . .

I am only posting a "bare" belly because I went to the Renaissance Faire this weekend and decided to get henna'ed.  the artist LOVES doing bellies and asked me if I would be willing, and of course I said yes.  It should stay for a few weeks.  It's a shame because her artistry is beautiful but it's not like I'm going to walk around in a crop top, so I'm sharing with you guys.  34 1/2 weeks.

Re: breaking the rules big-time. BARE belly PIP. BEWARE.

  • That is a pretty phenomenal 34 week belly. From what you have posted before it looks like your belly hasn't changed too much in this trimester.

    Your baby ate your belly button.

  • i love getting henna. and that is a very modest belly pic and you don't have scasry stretch marks.

     

    so how are you feeling? how is your progress with everything?

  • CUTE BELLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I want to see more!!

    Take it all off!!!!!

  • thanks, guys.  I'm still cowaring in the corner waiting for stones to be thrown.  But I just had to share.

    I feel good . . . except for the whole sleeping thing.  I walked outside in 90F plus humidity for 6 hours on Sat and while I was sore, it felt great.  being active is definately better for me than not.  And while there's no stretch marks on the belly yet, the rest of my body is falling on the sword.  I have some small ones on the backs of my thighs and on my buttcheeks.  weird. 

    I'm getting skeered, honestly.  Not of the birth, but that afterwards I'm going to have this little person that we're responsible for and will be depending on us for it's life.  EEEP.  but I can't wait to have my outside babeh.

    no, I don't dress up.  but the people watching is FAN-EFFING-TASTIC times infinity.  There's all these little shows going on throughout the faire that are mostly lame but cute (like ladies/lord dance, jesters, fire whips, mud shows, etc), and there are "characters" paid to walk around and everyone says "good day, m'lady."  there are lots of "shops" to get mostly weird renaissance-y stuff (chain metal bikini, anyone?  sword?  axe?  stuffed dragon? etc.) but there are also some other booths with felted hats and animals, candles, soaps, etc. too.  And the Faire food is absolutely ORGASMIC.  That's pretty much why I go.  I see the mushroom man every year and bring home a couple quarts.

  • being nervous about becoming a parent is normal. if you weren't nervous I would be worried about you.
  • You do look very good for 34 weeks -- you're so close.

    Now, tell me more about the Faire food.  I assumed it was all turkey legs and grog.

  • What on earth is a mud show?

  • the ren faire is fun because it's kind of bawdy during the day (like PG13, even though it's a "family" type event and there are lots of kids) and then turns NC17 around 6 PM. lots of cleav hanging out, dudes in REALLY tight tights, etc.  a lot of the faire-goers do dress up--ranges from throwing on a pair of fairy wings to wearing full court dresses, headpieces, and I've seen some scary dudes in these long black robes with skeery metal masks on.  anything goes.

    ooooh, the food.  well, there IS turkey legs and grog.  But I had a spinach calzone, chai, portabella burger, spicy chicken wings, roasted nuts, english toffee . . . there's also bbq chicken, pork (sliders!), pizza, shepard's pie, turkey/avacado pitas, steamed artichokes with butter, tempuras, ice creams, gelatos . . . I'm telling you guys, I could eat there every day for a week.  There are over 20 different food booths.

  • our ren faire has the same awesome people watching but crap food.
  • You look great!  The henna is purrdy!

  • Aw, you look great!

    image Ready to rumble.
  • You look fantastic, Tasty! Every baby update from you makes me smile because you've been so positive throughout and your excitement at getting to meet your child is adorable, like your picture caption in your siggy. That is going to be one lucky child to have you as a mom.

  • Gah, Kristen, that picture of Owen is so cute I can hardly stand it.  Don't get me wrong -- Maggie is a cutie too.  But I think her baby brother wins the cuteness competition in those two particular photos.

  • Thank you Cali. He was chatting with his daddy, which always makes him grin. His big sister has taken to saying "cheeeeeseburger" and grimacing at the camera these days so it's hard to catch her with a natural smile.

  • CUTE belleh, Tasty!  I can't believe you're gonna have an outside baby in just a short while.

    I love Ren Fests.  A lot alot.

    Remember this guy?

  • I lurve it, but I'm not generally offended by bare bellies.

    You are so cute! I can't believe how close you are!!

    The hair grows in thick where the horn used to be.
  • I spy the curve of that man's bottom.

  • I hope I look that good at 34 weeks!

    Mud shows sound like something the Juggalos do.

  • That is one elaborate birthmark Tasty!

  • thanks again, Sisters.  Moo, you are sooo sweet. 

    mud shows are just some antics in mud, general slinging, bawdy jokes, etc.

    Is that Beastmaster, Shammy?  I am a little embarrassed to admit I used to loooove Beastmaster on Saturday mornings.
