dear friend&#8217;s profile picture from that time of her full belly painted with love by her older daughter. \u00a0It was an idea I have always loved but did not take\u00a0advantage of trying myself, until last night.<\/p>\n<p>In anticipation of this little one&#8217;s (hopefully!) impending arrival, I bared my ever growing belly, armed my children with paintbrushes and opened up the paint jars for a little family belly painting. \u00a0And the following minutes were some I will never forget as our family came together to literally surround this tiny little person with love and art.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondmommying.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Mommy-Belly-Painting.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-8982\"
