Today was belly cast Sunday. We had a nice relaxing weekend and decided that today was the day to get the cast going. The LW has already started having random contractions that give her low back pain. This kid's coming some time this week.....we hope. We sat her down in the kitchen and got everything prepared. I had just started putting on some of the second coat when, the reason why the instructions mention getting a fan, became apparent. The LW became as white as the plaster of paris and almost checked out. It was just like after the amniocentesis...she had that "everything's fine" look on her face - that look, to me, means she's about to check out. I had time to scramble around, grab the fan, and plug it in. I kept her talkin' and she started coming around after a few minutes, but it was kinda spooky. The cast turned out wonderfully and will make a nice heirloom piece to show.
