I have to admit that I have been relieved that I haven't had any visible stretch marks during my pregnancy....until this morning! I was going about my morning routine when I looked at my belly in the mirror and sure enough there they were - the purple stretch marks had snuck up on my belly over night! How dare they! I promise I wouldn't have gloated to other pregnant women if I wouldn't have gotten stretch marks, but rather would've kept it all to myself so no one would hate me for being one of "those" women. You know who I'm talking about, the women we don't talk about, the women who still jog at 8 months pregnant, only gain weight in their stomach during their pregnancy and of course those women who lose all their baby weight as soon as the baby is born! Yeah, we don't talk about those women. Of course, my sister is one of "those" women, but I still love her (and secretly despise her for her lack of stretch marks and skinny self!). I can't help it if my baby really enjoys Big Macs and Chocolate Shakes - hey, I give my baby what he wants!
So the stretch marks have come and I've embraced them. I'm sure they're only bound to grow bigger and bigger, along with eveything else. The baby's kicks are now visible on the outside of my stomach; I have really enjoyed watching the rippling moves along my belly when I lie still at night. The kicking and moving continues to be a blessing with each move and turn and I love it!
Okay, I'm off to relax for the rest of the evening.

Oh, I should have told you that I made Little Mandrake a salsa mix tape to help pass the time. I'm glad to see he's enjoying it. I didn't think you'd mind. That's cool/weird that you can see him kick. I really need to special order that ascot...it will be needed sooner than we think!
love,

Being able to see a kick on the outside seems a tad freaky, but really cool. Does he like to kick? Maybe instead of playing American football he will be into the REAL football....soccer!!! Future Real Madrid player right here!!
