Sacred Place

I decided to honour and celebrate this pregnancy in a special way, and had a fellow doula and friend mark my belly as a sacred place, using henna. She designed this pattern specifically for me and did a beautiful job. Katie thoroughly enjoyed watching Heather work and even got a little flower of her own - however she smudged it off within about 2 minutes of it being finished!

Finished pattern (Henna still applied)

Katie showing hers off too (note me holding her hands out of the way)

The next morning - the effect actually darkens in the first few days so this is quite light and orange.
