I was looking at my stomach last night and realized something. I was so bummed when I got four new stretch marks from Damien while I was pregnant. I was also bummed because two different bug bites left scars. Now, I look back and think of how stupid of me that was. Those six marks on my abdomen are now some of the most precious things in my life. I am still not too thrilled about the massive amounts of stretch marks from my other kids, but then again I have them and everything that they do to give me joy.

I guess it just struck me as odd how much that we can really be upset about something and then that very same thing becomes something of indescribable value.

Just my two cents for the day.

I feel my belly all the time now (especially when I am not thinking about it) when I realize I am doing it I wish my tummy was big with my baby inside like it should be. Instead it's just big from fat...of course much smaller than it would be. I have a million stretch marks and had 2 kids. My cousin has no stretch marks but her tummy is way bigger than mine ever was (or maybe it just looks like it cause she is so skinny) I am babbling. I will stop now.

Very interesting!

Those stretch marks are a special remembrance from our little angels.
