When I was linked to this site, I thought what an amazing site, these women are brave. I felt the need to share this site with my Mommy friends and immediately passed the link around.
I told them that there was no way I could ever post my belly, and if I did it wouldn’t have my face or name attached. Which is kind of funny because I have my very graphic birth pictures posted on a friends website( https://www.abirthtoremember.com/pages/unassistedhbac.php ). The thought of showing my belly somehow seemed too personal.Although,the more I thought about it, the more I wanted to share mine. After all my belly was the home of my 3 children for 9 months each. So here’s my name, belly and my face.
My name is Brandi and I am a 26 year old Mommy to 3 beautiful children. My children are all 20 months apart, ages 3.5,2 and 5 months old. My first pregnancy I gained 65lbs, I lost 50+ of it. Pregnancy #2 I gained 50lbs. I got back down to pre-baby 2 weight. Pregnancy number 3 I refused to step on the scale, but I am guessing I gained about 30-40lbs. I am currently back down to my pregnancy weight, but my body is just not what it use to be. I am working on it though.

My 2 yr old saw me with my belly showing and came over to play the drums on it.
