So, you’re pregnant! You are positively glowing! This will be an amazing time that you’ll never forget. You’ll have lots of planning and preparing to do, but don’t forget to have fun along the way! I’ve rounded up 11 fun things to do while you’re pregnant, so as soon as your tummy settles and you can come out of the bathroom, pick something from this list and get to it!

1. Get a belly cast made. These are a special way to commemorate your pregnancy. Have one made during the end of the third trimester, or have a series made to document your growing bump. Here are the instructions for making a pregnant belly cast from eHow.com.
2. This is really the only time you can turn your belly into an artistic masterpiece without looking really strange, so go for it! Get a henna tattoo or have your bump painted. We’ve all seen the pumpkin belly, but there are so many creative ways to decorate your beautiful belly. Check out these beautiful belly paintings from Parents.com.
3. Get a professional photo shoot. Go ahead and take lots of selfies of your growing bump, but for beautiful photos that capture your glow, schedule an appointment with a professional. Here are some maternity pose ideas for you.
4. Create a pregnancy scrapbook. This is a great place to showcase ultrasound photos, baby name ideas, and other memorabilia. If a paper scrapbook is too daunting, try digital scrapbooking. I love to look back at my pregnancy scrapbooks, and my kids love looking at them, too. Look at these great scrapbooking ideas from SheKnows.
