Beauty In the Eye of the Beholder/9daysand Couting/lotsopics

Beauty in the eye of the beholder

so.. I just really checked myself out in the mirror.. And I have tons and tons of stretch marks! And you know what, I freaking love my mommy battle scars!

Everyone has things about them they don't like.. Maybe they have pimples, maybe one tittie is bigger then the other, maybe they are just a down right nasty person and all the beauty in the world cant save how ugly of a person they really are. But my stretch marks.. I love them.. Because I love this baby they are her gift to me! And she is almost here! Yay! 9 days till my due date! Im really excited =0)

here are my beautiful mommy marks





i went and got a pedicure for the first time in my life yesterday and I was a weirdo and took pictures of my toes.. I love my toes they are so little and dainty.. Even when swollen up from pregnancy!

check out my retarted hand! I had to take a pictures of it...



annie looks like she's smoking crack


here are some parts of my room/babies room that I have gotten ready I took some photos.. I just painted a few weeks ago too.. Im totally loving the color but need to hang some things on my walls to take away from it all.

Your belly is beautiful!!!

Do you mind if I post a pic of my battle wounds????

I don't wanna hog your post....I just know it will make you feel better! Wink

my body is destroyed because I couldn't control my eating habits. I've learned. I now know to never eat like that again!!

But my body post pardom is hard to cope with.

You're not alone girl!

Good luck!

I went to poop in my last month too, I just had to have my brownies and icecream and hot fudge but mine was a 10 pounder and they do say that it is true about a pedcure so maybe you may not have 9 days to go. Is that at your puppy dog? I am glad that you were able to give yourself a treat! I hope you have an easy labor! It looks like you do have a lot of nice things!

Gosh .Sarah, that doesn't even look like you! You were huge too!

Pedis *do indeed* trigger labor.

There is a pressure poin right above your ankle, on both the inside and outside of your leg. If stimulated it can cause the uterus to contract.

We coudlnt massage freshly preggy women on that point.

I hope it helps you!!

I forgot this pic I meant to put it up before, I was walking thru (evil)walmart yesterday buying some maternity bras and last minute things and saw these! I had to get them they were a size 3 the smallest they had, but I love love love them and had to get them even tho I have no idea when they will fit her





ohhhh im gonna clean my car tomorrow and finish packing my bag and then I think I will be all set on cleaning and just sit back and try and get her to come out by mind power, my doula told me about that pressure point too! I would really like her here on thanksgiving that would just be awesome.

your belly is beautiful claudia. Here is a patch of some of my stretch marks close up. I don't feel like the weight is a big deal because I have lost weight in the past, so I already know I can do it again. Also, being "attractive" doesn't seem nearly as important as it use to. I think having a baby puts this in perspective. I've been really skinny in the past, and I know for a fact I was not any happier as a person than I am now all chubby with scars.

Only 9 days! So exciting!

Ahh you guys, i'm not even pregnant nor have I ever been, and I probably could give you all a run for your money. Sad. I get stretchmarks with such ease, it's sad, lol.

But I get them in the weirdest places and are so bright red. Claudia, mine never itch when I get them, that's a little odd, does anybody elses??

I'm not a heavy girl by any means (not trying to be conceited), but I get them on my inner arms, inner thighs, backs of my knees, backs of my elbows, my butt, my very lower back, and very much on my hips. It's weird how sensitive people can be to getting these... Crying
or Very sad

can u guys imagine if I ever do get preggers?? Lol.

Claudia, I lub the color you painted the room, it's cute ^_^.

I think the stretchmarks look cool- like tiger print Smile

tanya yours are awesome they have a real tiger print pattern going on!

I love the shoes you got her claudia. I'm a bit obssessed with leopard print. Me and layla have tons of leopard print clothing.

I have two little stretchmarks just above my *ahem* hair and I love them cause they prove i've had kids! I'll post a pic of them when I get a camera from somewhere!

totally agree!

Anyone seen that teen pregnancy movie with molly ringwald, called 'for keeps' ? Where the girl says "mom what are stretch marks?" and her dad says -"stretch marks are the badge of a real woman!". Haha Smile
