For Meghan... And anyone else feeling bad about their preggers bellies...


Ok Ladies,
Here it is. My roadmap of a belly. By the time I delivered my belly button had gone back in and was now the size of a Silver Dollar.
Now, feel better.

OH...GOSH!! I was very fortunate to not get too bad of stretch marks. I've got to tell you, though. Josh's cousin Dawn has us ALL beat (maybe even Becca!) She was looking like she was she was 11 months pregnant with twins at 8 months. I have a pic, but of course, I can't post it. It's not me! I'll have to get in the game and post a pic of my prego belly prior to Makayla's birth.

FYI- Makayla was tired all morning and went down early. I have the conclusion posted!!

O.K., MINE STILL LOOKS LIKE THAT!!
This after almost four years since I last gave birth!!!!
(Truth be known, it's not so big, but not so tight either)
So sad :(

I love it! I totally looked like that, too! Now they're all silvery and shiny~especially in the sun! It's like self-made jewelry!

It's the badge of motherhood. I hate to admit it but I got so fat everywhere while I was pregnant I escaped with no stretch marks. It's all genetics though, because my mom and grandma have stretch mark free bellies too. Wanna see...since you and Liz both did it, I'll post my labor belly on my site too!

Wow, you're amazing, girl. I give you much credit for posting a picture of your stretch-marked belly on your blog!

However, my brother's girlfriend, has us all beat, I'm sure of it. She looked like a wild animal tore her apart, plus she has dark skin so her stretch marks were really dark.

Sharon's too funny, yes, mine are silvery and shiny, like self-made jewelry too! But they don't just stop at the belly...try boobs, thighs, hips...Too much jewelry in my book. Hey, maybe that's why I don't wear jewelry...Hmmm (scratching head).

It is the badge of motherhood...yes, sad but true.

You're so awesome to post this! I think we should all post a belly pic!

Pregnant bellies are so cute!

I love Sharon's analogy, self made jewelry!

My stretch marks are all on the inside. They are there though - for certain - they are there! (They developed over a 13 year period so I'm sure they are extensive.)

Angie, you had one of the world's longest pregnancies at 13 years. You have an excellent point. You have many internal stretchmarks made over those years!!!!
