Finding the Beauty

So I found this quote online today... and for those moms who aren't blessed with stretchmarks I still think you can relate. But for me... I have lots of marks. And although I used to not be able to even look at them they now remind me of my precious blessings that I have been given. So blessed to be a mom and so excited to meet our newest addition!

so many tears I just had reading that Elise...I totally needed to see that. I have been graced with stretch marks too and boy are they tough for me to look at. But what a perfect thing to remember when I am feeling down about them. Those scars are a beautiful memory of the times we carried our sweet babies...and nourished them inside! Amazing. I can't wait for your new bundle to arrive, you must be so anxious. You are beautiful Elise, just beautiful. xoxo.
