Five Creative Ways to Celebrate a Burgeoning Belly
While all the magic lies within the belly of an expectant lady, there are fun ways to outwardly celebrate the life growing in it. Mothers anxious to show off their bumps may find the "Under construction" temporary tattoo hilarious and midriff worthy while others might choose a more refined approach. Here are five fun things a pregnant lady can do to cherish her burgeoning belly.
Did You Take Growth Photos of Your Belly?
When Jennifer777 shared a beautiful photo album of her growing baby bump, I was taken aback by how neat it is to have a daily or weekly photo collection that shows how your body changes during pregnancy. Our Belly Worship group is filled with pics of pregnant moms-to-be, but usually it's just one photo at a time.
(If you did take lots of photos during your pregnancy you can share them in our Belly Worship group.)

Belly Worship: romaniagrl Eight Months Pregnant
romaniagrl shared this adorable picture of herself eight months pregnant with baby number two a couple months back and I couldn't help but gawk at how happy and fabulous she looked.
Her chatter updates from a few weeks later tell us her cheerful and girlie nursery now has a sweet new boarder. She said:
Baby Charlotte Madeleine was born June 16, 2008 at 12:30 PM!
Belly Worship: Fit's Beautiful First Baby Bump
FitSugar recently shared an amazing photo from her first pregnancy in our Belly Worship group and I was completely taken aback by it because I didn't know her at the time. Today Fit has two beautiful daughters and wins my vote as one of the most active, healthy, engaged and enthusiastic moms around. Seeing her bursting belly just makes me love her more.
Belly Worship: Jennifer Loomis
One woman made a career out of capturing expectant ladies in a state of belly worship. Renowned photographer, Jennifer Loomis has photographed more than1,500 women with child and is currently writing a book about celebrating the full form. We were lucky enough to ask the shutterbug a few questions about striking a pose while pregnant.
Belly Worship: Nicole Finally Looks Pregnant
Country crooners weren't the only stars shining in Vegas last weekend. Sunday night served up the world's finest in country music at the 43rd Annual Academy of Country Music Awards in Sin City. Unlike Tinseltown, Vegas was NOT crawling with pregnant ladies.
Join in on the Belly Worship!
We want to worship your belly! Several users have already downloaded pics of their beautiful bellies (some are shown above), so hop on the belly bandwagon and add yours to the mix.
Women may complain about their pregnant and postpartum stomachs, but lilsugar is celebrating the stretch marks, thinned skin, love handles, muffin tops, c-section scars — the badges of honor that come with being a mom — with Belly Worship, our theme that pays homage to motherhood.
Belly Worship: Pregnancy Announcements
It seems like there's stationery for any and every occasion — mama calling cards, baby announcements and thank you notes. Now pregnancy announcements have been added to the list.
Instead of picking up the phone and calling everyone or blasting out an email, Tiny Prints gives expectant moms the opportunity to share their exciting news with pregnancy announcement cards.
Belly Worship: Mother Nurture
Every mother thinks her child is exceptional, but some end up raising tots that turn into superstars, business moguls and acclaimed athletes.
Inspired by motherhood, author Stephanie Hirsch interviewed many moms of notables for her book. Mother Nurture ($17).
Belly Worship: What's Inside Your Tummy, Mommy?
Once you're a parent, pregnancy becomes all about your child.
Preparing your lil one to become an older sibling is an exciting way to spend the nine months.
Depending on his or her age, the tot may or may not understand the idea of the baby-to-be so consider including the concept in everyday activities.
