When I look back on my pregnancy, one of the things I think I regret most is that I didn't have as much fun with it as I could. For first-time moms, these are their last kid-free months! Even for moms who are on baby number two (or later), this is the one and only time in your life when society smiles on a big belly. So why not show it off? One of the cutest ways to do that is by baring the baby bump and then painting it!

And if you're going to go through all the trouble, you might as well get a photographer to capture the belly decor, right? Perfect maternity photo shoot "prop"!

Not sure were you'd even begin? Check out these adorable options to paint your belly!

Would you consider #11? Which one is your favorite?
