Stretched?

It was bound to happen, right? All the Burt's Bees "Mama Bee" oil in the world wasn't going to stop it... (btw, you should've bought stock, I'm on my 4th bottle of it already!) Perhaps I am fortunate, 34 weeks and just now getting them. Wait, stop - you say - what the heck are you talking about? Why, stretch marks, of course. Granted, I only have a couple of faint marks on the right side of my belly... so far... but still... I have a feeling this is only a sign of things to come (yes, laugh at me if you will).

I've found an interesting website - The Shape of a Mother - view at your own risk. It does contain some nudity (gasp!) but its more about mothers coping/dealing with the changes in their bodies that pregnancy has brought about.

Don't get me too wrong... So far, I like my pregnant belly.. even if it is harder to tie my shoes and get comfortable to sleep at night. I enjoy feeling JP move around and find the whole process amazing. But can't I just have it with a few less marks? :)
