Article Check - 6 Ways to Memorialize Your Pregnancy
Sexual scandals are nothing new to the nation’s capital. But when the potential victim is a minor and the predator is a Congressman, the episode takes on a particularly sinister cast.Former Rep. Mark Foley has resigned in disgrace after his sexually suggestive e-mails to high school pages emerged from the privacy of inboxes and appeared for all the world to see. He is now doing the typical “public servant damage control routine” by checking himself into rehab.I hope he gets help for whatever addictions lurk inside him. But, more importantly, I want to see him brought to swift justice.Too many times, individuals who

Are we to believe that exercising is impossible, maybe even detrimental to one's health, if you suffer from arthritis? Well, many people hold this belief. In fact, for many years, it was believed that arthritis and exercise could be a deadly mix. However, it has been proven through recent studies that exercise can actually be quite beneficial if you suffer from arthritis.Exercising on a consistent basis can improve the mobility and flexibility of your joints. It could also provide for your overall better fitness, more self-esteem because of independence, and lower levels of depression.Now th
While you are growing, suffering morning sickness and anxiously awaiting the new addition to the family, here are a few ways to memorialize your pregnancy; both for yourself and to pass along to the child in the future.
Write It
If you don't already, now is a great time to take up journaling. A hardback journal to write would give you the option of writing any time, while eating breakfast, in bed, or in a waiting room. Picking out the book could be a special in itself, as you will be picking something that touches you. If your penmenship is not something you particularly want to share, journaling online offers a wide variety of options. Generally called "blogging", a web log has been a popular method of writing thoughts, opinions and sharing knowledge with others. There are many blog communities, each offering different perks. Some provide private post options, so your posts are viewable to the general public, only to those you allow. Some allow categories, giving you the option of writing about things other than just your pregnancy. Others still, are aimed just at moms or pregnant moms. Take a look around and find one that has a good feel for you.
Pregnant Belly, Say Cheese
Take monthy pregnant belly pictures. Start at the beginning, or as soon as you are able. There may not be much of a baby belly at 8 weeks along, but when you have a whole pregnancy worth of belly shots, you'll have fun looking at where you started and where you ended!
Some tips for taking monthy belly pictures: Be consistent. Stand the same way, by the same wall or door (or similar). Wear similar clothing (like a pair of sweatpants that you can wear almost throughout). Show bare belly, or wear a shirt - or do one of each every time. The more consistent you are, the more obvious the pregnancy changes when looking back.
Studio Pictures
You've got the digital camera taking your own pregnant belly pictures, but a professional photogragher will make some beautiful pictures for your baby belly book. Consider including siblings, if any, your partner, and take pregnancy pictures that aren't so "traditional". Strip down and wrap up in white robe, or guaze - with a dark background, this is beautiful. Siblings touching or kissing baby belly makes for a touching moment. And your partners hands on your belly, speak love. Of course, studio pictures are best towards the end of pregnancy, but don't wait too long either!

Belly Cast It Bad Credit Home Loans, Personal Loans
Need bad credit home loans or bad credit personal loans? Think twice about using your home as collateral. If you need money to pay bills or make home improvements and think the answer is in refinancing, a second mortgage, or a home equity loan - consider your options carefully. If you can't make the required payments you could lose your home as well as the equity you've built up.It's important not to let anyone talk you into using your home to borrow money you may not be able to afford to pay back. Not all bad credit home loans or bad credit personal loans are created equal. Some unscrupulous lenders target older or low-income hom

The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently issued new Dietary Guidelines for Americans. While we're thankful that the government is working to keep us safe, we're a little disappointed that the new dietary rules don't go far enough in advising people to stay away from one particularly dangerous type of fat: trans fat.The government's new nutritional guidelines note that you should limit trans fats as much as possible, but many nutrition experts think that message should have been much stronger: rather than suggest that people limit trans fats, the guidelines should have told people to avoid them as much as possib

Living in Colorado and being a gardener has been rather stressful in the
past few years, as this state has been undergoing a rather severe drought.
The city is imposing watering restrictions which are not giving enough
water to lawns and plants. I’ve had to renovate my garden to make it more
water efficient. Now, because of the techniques I’ve employed, I’m the
only one in my neighborhood with a garden that isn’t completely brown. So
if you live in an area that is going through a drought or if you just want
to save water, I suggest you use some of these techniques as well.First, I took out all my plants. The soil I was using

Belly Cast, or Belly Mask, has become a popular method of preserving pregnant bellies. Belly Cast kits are inexpensive and easy to find, particularly online. They are easy to do, but don't try to do a belly cast yourself! You will definitely need another set of hand and sometimes an extra set is helpful. No baby belly inhibitions? Make a party of it! Invite your girlfriends over for some messy fun. In the end, you have a plaster cast of your belly to decorate, hang on the wall or sit on a shelf.
Decorated Belly
Women are becoming more willing to bare their pregnant bellies. Decorating your baby belly is a fun way to show it off. Wear it around the house, or out in public. Make a party of it, or do it yourself. But don't forget to take pictures!
Semi-permanant belly decoration - Henna is a type of skin dye that will essentially "stain" the skin, essentially, a non-permanant tattoo. Women have been using henna for years and years. Henna kits are widely available. A simple design or something elaborate - it's all up to you! Do be careful in the sun with a henna'd baby belly. Your skin may tan and when the henna wears off in a week or more, you may end up with a reversed belly tattoo.
Paint it and wash it - Skin safe paints are a great just for fun project to do with siblings. Get into some comfy clothes, get a glass of water, juice or your pregnancy tea and sit back. Let the kids paint. Don't forget to Take Pictures!
Belly Pillow
Whew! The pregnancy is over, or close to it. Grab your favorite maternity top, your sewing machine and some good stuffing. Sew that shirt into a pillow; square, round, or just sew up all the openings and leave it full size! This is a great momento to pass along to the baby. Do it for each pregnancy and each child will have their very own "moms favorite maternity shirt pillow".
Regardless of how much you do to memorialize your pregnancy, enjoy as much of it as you are able to. Those nine months, though they seem long while you are counting the days, when looking back, it's just a snippet in time.
