    I envy all of you who are brave enough to show your bellies. Mine is much worse than all I’ve seen here. And I go through great lengths to hide my stretch marks at all costs. I wish I was confident enough to let them show.
    Kudos to all you brave moms.

    Ha ha, you haven't seen mine. I wouldn't feel so down about it. I had stretch marks prior to pregnancy and they just got more.. pronounced after. Worse is I have the weird belly pouch thing that won't go away. I'll maybe take a picture tomorrow to show what I mean.

    I don't know that I'm confident like these other lovely women, more like I kind of have forgotten that I had them because they've been with me for so long.

    Chances are though, the only person who really notices your stretch marks.. is you. :heart:

    Enjoying food and beer right now, will be leaner by May, hopefully.

    Stretch marks make me :cry:

    <3 you look great momma

    Oh my belly is scarred up and soft and jiggly. I have a giant vertical c-section scar from my belly button all the way down. Lots of stretch marks. Battle scars.

    I have one from my sternum all the way down... Tons of stretch marks and very soft and jiggly! Just adds more character to us! <3:)

    Professional Mom.... Won't say working mom because SAHMs work just as hard if not harder than us moms that have to work. I do not know how y'all do it!

    Fantastic looking mom :kissing_heart:

    You look incredible <3@mij140 but you already knew I thought that. Your hard work has and is definitely showing. Glad you are one of my friends.

    My mom bod. 4e3qf24mfqd3.jpg

    Sure, you look great, but what's that number in your username mean? :neutral:

    I've always been more amused that her username is actually the name of a band. Well, minus the 69 part. :D

    I actually like her, I just have to give her crap because 69 in a username is lame every single time it's a dude. Just because she's hot doesn't make it okay.

    I was actually thinking about changing my username, but then we'll have zero interaction, and what kind of life is that.

    I am content to just ogle you silently. Interacting? Psssh. :flowerforyou:

    I still have the flowers from last time.

    You know what makes you a badass?

    Imo?

    You are tight with your fam.

    Stronger than any flex you will do...which is also awesome. I wish I could telemagically copy your mom's food skillz to my mom.

    That's like telepathy, only more magical.

    You are not even kidding. I deserve a *kitten* medal. Anyone who knows any real Greeks, they know how *kitten* loud we can be. But headache is so worth it with all the amazing food I stuff my face with every week..

    I dig the serious look from your other pic, it's pretty badass, but this proud grin suits you perfectly.

    Haha thanks! The other pic was taken immediately after a death workout

    You look wonderful :)
