I wanted to tell the world last night. I wanted to shout it from the roof tops. I HAVE STRETCH MARKS!!! Yes, while getting ready for bed I took a look at the old belly in the mirror. I did the profile shot, if you will. I was all alone thinking...."I wonder how much bigger this will get?" Then, I spotted them: the red stretch marks quite below my navel. My eyes got really big and grabbed my fat while looking closer. Noooooooooooooo! I couldn't believe it was happening to me, and I'm only half way to take off!!! This is not going to be pretty. In fact, it could get really ugly people. Let us all have a moment of silence.
Ok, now that we have that nastiness out of the way; on a good and happy note....my birthday prego jeans arrived in the mail yesterday courtesy of Christy and Lisa. This morning I put them on and oh glorious, glorious morning. These jeans are AWESOME. I will be wearing these babies everyday. They are tall length, and they are cut really cute. Most importantly, I can stop wearing the one pair of my regular jeans that barely fit...as long as no one noticed the zipper ripping at the seams from pressure. So, yea, I have a pair of jeans. Nothing will cheer you up like a good pair of hot pants.
There you have it. Nothing like a Monday after your 31st birthday to find grizzly scaring in the making. But, thankfully I have friends that are looking after me and making the process bearable. I can't wait until Scott gets back into town to show him the beauty marks! He's going to be excited. When my new digital camera comes in the mail, I will be posting the evidence for all to see.

grab the cocoa butter...Sandi
I have good news and bad news about my stretch marks. I've been using my trusty Eucerin Intensive Repair lotion as a preventative measure on my stomach to fight the stretch marks.
And it has worked all this time.
What I didn't do (I'm so dumb) was put it on the rest of growing parts, hips, etc. And I have marks there. Dangit!!
P.S. Use this now
Sister, I get stretch marks just looking at a bag of Doritos...chomp...so I will create a few in honor of your love child!
