Dear Moms,

Please step away from the creams, lotions and other online suggestions: your stretch marks are now forever a part of you! Want another little secret? You were destined from birth to get those beauties. If your mama had ’em, you were signed up for them LONG ago! That’s right gals, our stretch marks our in our genes! So, if you’re newly pregnant, you better start talking to your mama and find out how she fared through pregnancy. Sure you can talk to your girlfriend’s who swear by their favorite topical creams but let me just remind you, it’s in the cards! I will admit that although I endured stretch marks, there are things to make them less “itchy”. I personally loved my baby oil gel. I would later up after the shower, before drying off, just to keep the skin moist. There are plenty of lotions that will tell you how they prevent stretch marks but chances are they just like your money. Now, I’m not saying that IF your mom had them then YOU WILL get them, unfortunately, your chances do increase, so save your money.

With all that said, enjoy your stretch marks. They are not ‘attractive’ to the outside eye. Your neighbor will likely not pine for them, however, be proud of them. It’s because of those marks that you’ve got beautiful children to smile at. Remember every kick, hiccup and contraction that made those stretch marks beautiful. Embrace the belly! They’re not going anywhere anytime soon so you better learn to love them!!

Pamela Ray is a 20 something, mom to two and wife to a U.S American Soldier. Over my 20 something years of life, I've learned a few things about kids and they way they function, or don't function if your kids tend to be like mine! My beautiful babies are Jacob, who is 2 going on 23 and Aubree, who is a whopping 3 months old, she's still shiny and new! If my two babies weren't enough to keep me busy, I figured I'd make it real exciting and throw some more toddlers and kids into my house add one part toys, two parts hotdog and peaches, shake it all up and call it daycare! No, I'm not crazy :) There is never a dull moment around here. I'm excited to share my two cents on parenting and the survival of toddlers, newborns and turds...Oh, and everything else in between, which as many of us parents know, is a heck of a lot of stuff!
