Wanting to do something to commemorate this belly of mine and the coming babe of ours (but also wanting whatever that was to be something other than just a photo and more practical than a belly cast), I sat while the sculptor worked his magic. Now waiting for it to dry before bisque firing, glazing, and then firing again, we are all looking forward to having a new large bowl that will always be a special memento. (photo by Zeal)
There have been many more projects happening around here in regards to the coming babe, so hopefully I will get a chance to post about a few of them in the coming days before the special arrival.

What a great idea! I've always wondered what I'd do with a belly cast afterwards...so, I've never done one. But a bowl -- that's just right! I am due in exactly one month; perhaps I should find a sculptor. When are you due?
Love your blog, by the way. It has greatly influenced the way we homeschool.

What a marvelous idea!
Thanks Julie and Lauri! It was fun to do, albeit a bit cold at first.
We are due anytime now, but you know how that goes... could still be a few weeks. And, by the way, my sculptor is Daddy, so you definitely don't need a professional potter to do it. But I do recommend using high fire clay and finding someone with a kiln to fire it if you want to ever serve food in it, etc.
Thank you both for your comments!
