You're so right about knowing "plenty of women warriors who would move heaven and earth, go to hell and back and be covered in stretch marks if it meant the end result was cuddling a little one of their own."

Your right who wouldn't walk through fire just to hold a blessing of hope and love in your arms. For me it wasn't the the fact that my stomach was turning into bread dough but the comments that were made about having children ( four under five) when to have them, was I sure I knew what I was doing, your crazy! What's even sad is that family has made me feel this way. I am proud of my badges of honor and each story behind them, thank you for the wonderful reminder. A good friend once told me a women with stretch marks is a tiger who has earned her strips! You have certainly earned yours!David and Brooke Gallagherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13979624257655371670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154218385578105533.post-43108906128680015912012-09-11T08:27:18.301-07:002012-09-11T08:27:18.301-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.David and Brooke Gallagherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13979624257655371670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154218385578105533.post-25214138336148904082012-09-11T08:12:02.710-07:002012-09-11T08:12:02.710-07:00I think you are beautiful--inside and out!

When I walked in, an older lady was standing at the front door. She gave me a very rude look and asked me if all of them were mine. I replied yes and she went off on a comment that was rude and completely uncalled for. When I got into the clinic, another older lady commented on my sons shoes. They were different but I was impressed with myself because there was one for each foot, they were both blue and he wasn't walking around barefoot. My little man has ths thing with taking off his shoes and throwing them around the car. Quite honestly, I was late for the appointment and didn't have time to search the whole car for a match. I kind of lost my cool and told the lady that there were far bigger issues then unmatched shoes and the good news was there was an exact same pair to the ones he was wearing, somewhere in my disaster of a car. Why do people insist on making such rude comments? It's amazing to me and I am always astonished that the most judgmental are older some. <br /> It's crazy because my issues came before the babies, all the medications and hormonal therapy used to have a baby caused me to gain massive amounts of weight before I even got pregnant. My belly is lovingly referred to as the "fire belly". The good news is the giant purple marks fade in time. You don't notice them after a while because they just become a part of who you are. I'm not going to be walking around in a bikini or wearing belly shirts anytime soon, but let's be honest. What mother should be doing that? I loved this post. It made me feel so much better about my saggy boobs, pudgy stomach and the fact that I still love wearing my maternity jeans.
