Today is 39 weeks! *Warning not for the faint of heart*

... and I wanted to share some pictures.

My DH likes to read to our son. I think it's really cute so I decided to take pictures of him doing it. I even included the most gory of all... the ugly stretch mark picture.

I don't remember getting all of them but they are there. I'm actually not ashamed of them, they are part of me, part of my journey towards motherhood. I will show them to anyone who wants to see. This is from a person who was always ashamed of her stomach all of her life. Now if I can only get this baby out of my scarred stomach and into the world!

Those are the sweetest pics!!! No warning is necessary. You should be proud of your stretch marks. To me they are like a badge of honor. You are creating a human life !!!!

I agree with this! At first I was so scared of getting them. Now I'm seeing them a bit differently. They are something to be proud of! Chat Icon

thats really sweet. save those pics, it will be something to show your LO in a few years.
and good for you for embracing your stretch marks. they are just stretch marks after all, people get them all the time. like you said, just a part of your amazing journey

Cute pics! When I got my first stretch mark I freaked. But then I started thinking about it and I came to the realization that my body is going to do whatever it needs to do in order to make a healthy DS. If that means hideous stretch marks, then thats what has to be done. Chat Icon
