Mehndi

My friend Jessica is really pregnant. She's due in less than a week. When we hung out the other day she mentioned that she wanted to have a henna tattoo done on her belly before she delivered. We had our Mehndi party this morning. These pics show the henna paste still on. I'll take some pics tomorrow, after the henna is removed, so you can see the final results.


Jessica's belly. Asa (the baby) was moving around a lot while I was applying the henna. Jessica did the butterflies by herself!

Jenni's ankle. I applied a similar design to Kavita's ankle, but I forgot to take a picture.

My sad looking feet. Please ignore the chipping polish. Jenni applied the henna. All that cake decorating experience really paid off. Thanks Jenni!

I applied some henna to my left hand and wrist this afternoon. Here are the before and after pics.

Awww! I find pregnant bellies fascinating. Just met a friend who's 8 months along, and she let me touch the belly. Sadly the baby was asleep and didn't move, but it still felt kind of exciting.

The henna tattoos look beautiful!
