The Dark Mark!

It has happened... my very first pregnancy stretch mark.

It's the same color as my crazy dark veins, so I didn't notice it at first. After rubbing lotion on, however, I felt the tell-tale "bumpy" feeling of too-stretched skin. It's on my hip, so I suppose I'm not too weirded out or sad about it. Let me just say that I have plenty of older, faded, adolescent stretch marks...plenty to go around. My hips kind of just exploded when I was younger.

I have a feeling that once I get some on the tummy area, I'll feel VERY self-conscious. eek.

As far as Tobin goes, he's squirming around and giving me a good bump here and there. I am starting to see movement on the outside as well - it's pretty amusing.

Now back to watching 16 and Pregnant...
