The Belly Cast Experience In Retrospect: I made the draft of my belly cast experience long before I gave birth to baby N.  Now reading it, I couldn’t help but cry and be amazed at how things have been seemingly laid out before us and the love and support we visualized for baby N have all become so real.  Looking through my pics of the belly cast and the design both BDW and I chose, I never realized how self-fulfilling the process would be.  Baby N as of this writing is still in the NICU.

Sometimes though I wish they'd be in a place where it would be easier to find and in a format that's easy to read and digest.
