Stretch Marks

This is what happens after baby number two weighs as much as a two-month-old at birth.

My tattoo will never be the same again. And that’s okay. My children have left their marks on me as well. I hope to be okay with that soon.

    the emotions may come and go, but i believe over time, it all becomes quite sexy, in a way the world will never know. :)

    I think it is so cool that you posted a pic of your belly and all its glory. I feel often self conscious about my stretch marks. So it helps to see other women showing theirs. I wish there was more openess and honesty about our bodies as we grow and age. I love that you crack things wide open…

    sexy=attractive=beautiful-aesthetic. i should have been more general w/ my words maybe. the eye of the beholder will describe it however they will. but i think you know what i mean.

    Hey! Now we’re twinkies, sans the cool tattoo. I, too, have those exact marks above my belly button. Has totally ruined the hope of a bikini for me. The good news is that they fade… Love you and your babies!

    And I was proud of myself for voluntarily posting a picture of myself in a swimsuit on the internet! But this picture is far more daring. You definitely get props, girl.

    I’m glad you posted a picture of your belly. I’m trying hard not to be nervous about what Schmooker is gonna do to my figure, but it helps to be reminded that stretch marks are natural, and beautiful women all over the world wear them as a badge of honour for the children they brought into the world.
