well those are new!

So last night I was about to get in the shower...and Frank comes up to me and was like "um babe look at your butt"....so I look in the mirror and there they were having a party on my butt...STRETCH MARKS and alot of them. I rub in the cocoa butter 2-3 times a day on my breast and belly and never thought about the rear end! So so not happy about these new found friends....I guess its better then my stomach right?RIGHT??

On another note... My shower is March 21st and the invites just went out last week and much to my surprise...alot has been bought off my registry already! I was really shocked..I'm so excited for the shower and the Spring cause this mama is sick of the darn cold here!
