With about a month to go before my scheduled due date, I have nothing but baby related things on my mind. That doesn't mean that we're prepared for Bean's coming though, but really, can you ever be fully prepared to welcome a baby into your life?
In any case, I've been trying to avoid stress by focusing on the things that I can control to some degree, like avoiding stretch marks.
I was a very skinny kid who turned out to be a very skinny teenager, thus, I was really surprised when I developed white stripes on my bum seemingly overnight with no weight gain to show for it. As it turned out, stretch marks are primarily genetic and as I looked at my brothers' stretch mark marred arms and my sister's stripey outer thighs, I could only nod my head in agreement.
