These silver lines of motherhood are so dear to me. Even more because I am lucky to only have these from my three beautiful babes... but honestly I would feel that something was missing if I had no stretch marks. I feel that along with their unappealing emotional tendencies, they bring a reaction when I see them that is a mixture of pride and a feeling of accomplishment.
I have house 5 babies in my body. Two were not meant to be... but the three that are here are stunning, beautiful, and healthy babes. Even the idea of selection has come across my mind. Like my body knew who would make it, and who wouldn't. It makes you wonder... and wonder in awe.
I think the silver lines of motherhood are beautiful!
