Henna
Our family had the excitment of receving henna this morning from our friend, Julie. It was a neat experience to adorn our bodies with henna, in honor of the baby within and the birth that will soon come.
Here is Ruby getting a peacock on her hand. She was thrilled to have this done and could not wait for Julie to get here to begin.
Ruby’s finished peacock. After the henna paste was applied, Julie wrapped Ruby’s hand so the henna had time to dye her hand without getting messed up. Ruby begged to take off the wrap, so she could see the peacock. She waited not-so-patiently for five whole hours!
Scott’s mandala and ring. (Scott dislocated his finger at work and now his wedding band doesn’t fit. So he decided to have one put on in henna as a stand in.)
My finished belly! Julie is amazing, isn’t she? It looks so beautiful. It will be funny to see how it changes as the baby grows. And especially what it will look like after the baby is born (if the henna lasts that long)!
