i had a very bittersweet moment the other day. for most people getting a stretchmark is like the end of the world, i know to me before it would have been! but with only 6 weeks left until Grayson is here, i got my first stretchmark. at first i was bummed bc i thought i had done so well not cramming on the weight, but then i realized, hey, im, pregnant, these things are inevitable, right?!! then i got this huge feeling of joy come over me! it dawned on me that the reason i am getting this stretchmark is because our little boy is getting so big and growing so strong that he is stretching me out bc he is ready to come meet our world! so like a big dork, im excited about this ugly, yet so beautiful stretchmark! i also became very glad at the idea that i was able to accept the situation this way! as far as getting the stretchmark, im pretty sure how i got it...haha! i feel like the only thing i want to eat is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with a glass of milk! apparently grayson can't get enough of it! these are the first cravings i have had throughout my pregnancy so i guess that's why i am excited about it! it's so funny how the things that excite you change so drastically when you are on your way to motherhood! i can't wait for the wonderful adventure!
