My sister showed me this picture yesterday. I had never seen it before and really didn't have too many of my bare belly. Sadly, the stretch marks got even worse in the last couple of weeks (I am guessing I was between 36-38 weeks in this one). Hard to believe sometimes that Olivia was actually in there!
Posted by Hannah at June 13, 2006 07:12 PMHave your stretch marks started to fade yet? Mine are now the same color as my skin (not that garish purple anymore thank goodness) - only pinkish when I'm just out a hot bath.But failing plastic surgery _ I guess they're with me for life. Mine started around my belly button and stretched most of the way down to just above my scar - and about 3 inches upwards as well. Isn't it horrifying how quickly they spread? No amount of bio oil, tissue oil or bloody vitamen e got rid of them either!

Posted by: Melany at June 14, 2006 09:16 AMI still can't believe it was only 2 months ago we had those babies in our bellies :) My pc is acting up so I'll comment here about your pics of her. She's got to be the cutest! I love the last pic there of her. ;) Your letters to her are too sweet.
Glad she got along well with her shots, Ava just got hers yesterday and she was pretty cranky yesterday but slept pretty well. Glad that's overwith for another 8 wks. Take care.
You really were glowing in that pic!
Glad Ben got to see you and talk to you.
Hope you and the family are doing well.
Posted by: Rebecca at June 14, 2006 12:42 PMYou were totally glowing!! Everything (including the stretch marks) was worth it, wasn't it? I actually got more marks after I started breastfeeding. My breasts have deep, deep purple indentations that are lovely. Oh well!! :)
Posted by: girl from florida at June 14, 2006 02:32 PMIt is so amazing how big our bellies get. I look at my bare belly pictures and think how tiny Lila seemed at first and how big my belly looked...doesn't match up. You look absolutely wonderful in that picture..all belly!
