yes. it's true. i cried for an hour over stretch marks.
but then again, i know i'm so incredibly blessed and lucky to have come this far in this pregnancy with little/no problems. and i know i'm not totally safe until the baby is actually here in this world, but i can't help but reflect how truly lucky i have been so far.
my dad's close friend's daughter in law just became pregnant for the second time in 6 years. a very much awaited pregnancy in the family. they already have a 6-year-old, but have been trying this whole time for another baby and only recently succeeded. unfortunately, the mother suffered from terrible, TERRIBLE morning sickness - couldn't eat, drink, had to be admitted a few times, and finally an obstetrician confirmed that the baby was not thriving. they decided to terminate at only 8 weeks.
so what if i can't sleep? so what if my body will never be the same? i can't ever let myself forget just how blessed i am to have come this far with minimal problems and that our baby is HEALTHY. 5 1/2 weeks to go. i'll keep her cooking for as long as i can.
