AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Well, folks - I guess there was no way to avoid them. I have been rubbing stretch mark cream all over for a while now but apparently I was destined to have stretch marks. From what I have read, it pretty much comes down to genetic predisposition for them. Unfortunately, I am one of those lucky ladies. I guess I will have to accept it now that I am resigned to a lifetime of tankinis. Oh well - it will be totally worth it!
I found this little blurb about postpartum stomachs and it makes me feel a little better. :)
"A mark for every breath you took, every blink, every sleepy yawn. One for every time you sucked your thumb, waved hello, closed your eyes and slept in the most perfect darkness. One for every time you had the hiccups. One for every dream you dreamed within me. It isn't very pretty anymore. Some may even think it ugly. That's OK. It was your home. It's where I first grew to love you, where I lay my hand as I dreamed about who you were and who you would be. It held you until my arms could, and for that, I will always find something beautiful in it."
