If I couldn't be with J.

 If I couldn't have married Jason, I probably would have listened to a lot of Paul Baribeau, and watched lots of PBS specials by Henry Louis Gates Jr., or married my cat, Humphrey Bogart.  They're basically my favorite gentlemen, next to el-tin.  And even though they're super sweet, they're just not as dreamy.
...Because Jason has a mustache now, and when he sleeps he looks like a Civil War veteran.  You needed to know.

 Special thanks to Paul, Henry, and Humphrey.

"It's my mommy badge."

Sorry I've been away for a bit.  I just arrived home from visiting family in Florida.

I just wanted to share this video with everyone.  I've recently noticed that I've started to get some stretch marks, and I didn't really know how I was feeling about them for a while.  As I've progressed with my first pregnancy, I've struggled with not being in control of what happens to my body anymore.  Now I'm at a place where I'm able to relax a little and let the small stuff fade.  I know I'm not going to look like I did before I got pregnant ever again, but I'm kind of anxious to know what I will look like after the baby.  I'm curious about what my stretch marks and skin will look like after my belly isn't round anymore.  However I look after birth, I know that I want to be positive about how my body recovers.  I know that my body is strong and healthy and I have to trust it.



How do you feel about your body after baby?
