I got an unexpected expectant mom gift the other day. So unexpected that I thought it was a box containing a contest prize and I let the box sit unopened for days.

It was a do it yourself belly cast kit by Proud Body. With the help of my husband, I now have a belly cast to show our little boy how my body changed with him inside me. I haven't decorated it yet but if you go to the Proud Body website you can view some really creative designs from other moms - and a few hysterical ones, too.

The Proud Body belly cast is a fun gift to give any expectant mom and the kit is so complete that they even include a plastic drop cloth. Most importantly, it doesn't come with flashbacks of messy papier mache lady bug projects from Kindergarten arts and crafts.
