I have been so diligent during my entire pregnancy in keeping my belly moisturized. Every morning when I wake up and every night before I go to bed I dedicate a few minutes of my time to lather Jojoba/Shea/MamaMio goodness onto my belly. Well apparently I've just not been committed enough in my efforts. It is time to up the ante.
Desk at Work...meet Army of Moisturizers. Army of Moisturizers...meet Desk at Work.
And so, during this time of grave disappointment I am reminding myself of what a friend once said during her pregnancy. She equated stretch marks to "badges of work" from that job you had housing an entire person inside your stomach for 9 months. I think I prefer the term "battle scar"...but either way, I suppose it was an inevitable right of passage I was bound to meet sooner rather than later.
Plus it will be a really good "Mom Line" one day.
"Ughhhhh......why do I need to unload the dishwasher??"
"......because sweetheart, you gave Mommy stretch marks".
