stretch marks!

That’s right, I woke up this morning and saw those red lines on the bottom of my belly.  I thought I was doing pretty good fighting them off this far, but now they are here and they have 5 weeks to take over my belly.  So, what can I do that will really keep them from getting too bad?  I am open to suggestions.

No pictures of the stretch marks to be seen here, but here is my most recent belly shot.  This was on Sunday.  A couple people have said they think my belly is dropping, so we decided to take a picture to check it out.  I kind of think it is.

More baby news…it seems like everyone around me is having their babies and it’s making me kind of anxious, and a little bit jealous.  One of my friends had her baby on April 29 and I think her due date was June 4.  Five weeks early!  Then two more friends had babies yesterday, one was 6 weeks early!  Her due date was 5 days after mine!  And today one of our managers at work left early because his wife’s water broke, another manager had her baby on May 7, another friend at work had her baby on May 12, and a couple weeks ago another manager’s wife had triplets!  Yeah, those sweet little boys were all 3 pounds each.  That seems like a lot of babies lately.  Now I am waiting for my turn.  I will just have to wait while my baby gets fatter and fatter!  I guess it’s better that way.  I am really heppy for everyone and their new babies.  I can’t wait to see them all in person!

So I got a wedding announcement in the mail for my cousin today.  I had no idea.  It’s not like I never hear from his family, they live about 30 minutes from my parents and his dad works on the farm with my dad all the time.  Gee, Dad, thanks for telling me about it!  Plus I read his sisters and two sister-in-laws’ blogs and no one said a word.  I wonder what else is happening in my family that I don’t know about?

Congrats to Brandon and JaNae!  This is the little boy who told me I was never going to be allowed back on Grandpa’s farm because I locked the bedroom door from the outside and no one could get in.  Funny thing was, I lived a mile down the road on my dad’s farm and he lived 30 minutes away.  It was hard for him to enforce that punishment on me.
