The tattoo of pregnancy

Alright - she has got to come out! It seems as though my body has stretched as far as it will stretch, as I have, in the last week, become the not so proud owner of stretch marks. At first they started out as little red dots along my belly/hip - then started stretching - and now a few of them are about an inch long! I was so glad that for the last 8.5 months I had escaped these demons but they have now found me! Eric's all like - oh, they aren't that bad, you can't even tell. He's such a good husband sometimes b/c these suckers are hard to pass up. Good thing I haven't even attempted a bikini in like 10 years...

So, in an effort to hasten Ms. Kayla's arrival I shall begin walking, and walking, and walking - maybe that will encourage her, and discourage the stretch marks from becoming even more elaborate. Of course, I can only walk if I hold up my belly so my back doesn't kill me, but I guess that's a sacrafice I'm just going to have to make. Until then I guess it's lots of lotion and vitamin e oil!
