WELCOME!!
Hello ladies! First I want to thank you for visiting The Belly Button Connection (TBBC). TBBC was originally created as a forum for mothers: aspiring, expecting, and veteran. The name was derived from the baby’s connection to the mother: physically, mentally, and emotionally. I wanted TBBC to be a place where women received both accurate and positive feedback about pregnancy. Since creating TBBC I’ve learned that our thoughts about pregnancy, motherhood, and womanhood start long before the onset of puberty. In fact, it starts with our relationships with our own mothers, aunts, sisters, and peers. Our hardships are not our own. They are passed down from generation to generation, friend to friend, spouse to spouse, parent to child. This doesn’t have to be the case. Leo Buscaglia said it best when he said, “Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.”
TBBC is that touch, smile, kind word, listening ear, honest compliment, and smallest act of caring. My mission is to keep you abreast on events, programs, and seminars that will be beneficial to you as well as partner with organizations that will improve your confidence, increase your self-esteem, and help you become the woman you strive to be for yourself, your family, and generations to follow.
I first saw Elizabeth's work when I walked into the Covenant Birth Center (Columbia, SC). The castings are so beautiful you can't keep your eyes off of them. Having since visited her website, I see that her creativity is boundless.
Elizabeth M. Barnes is a fine arts sculptor. She created her first belly cast in 2000 and went on to establish Artful Expectations in 2003. She visits your home with supplies in tow to create your belly cast which generally takes 30 minutes. Once the cast is complete, you will work with the artist to create your personalized belly cast.
Your pregnant tummy is already such a beautiful and unique work of art but after your lil' bundle has exited the oven all you have are photos (and a few stretch marks here and there). Why not create a masterpiece that will last a lifetime?
