You can, but sadly, research has pretty well shown that it's a genetic predisposition and creams won't do much more than soothe the itching.

yeah, yeah, just anecdotal evidence, I know, but I got stretch marks with adolescence and even with nursing, and my mom and sister both are prone to stretch marks as well. I just assumed I'd get them. But my belly came through.

Anyone got a million bucks just lying around? I want this condo, and would like someone to buy it for me.

I double scheduled! Therapy at 5:45 tomorrow, hair at 5:30. Neither can change! WHAT. DO. I. DO??????

Not a beach ball. A fertility statue? Yes. Pornstar boobies? Yes. She went from between B-C cup, to Double D. She pokes at them a lot in amazement.

The Boobie Fairy is such a sweetheart.

I had no stretch marks with Owen but two teeny, symetrical ones on my belly with Olivia. Having seen my mother, if I were to push my luck with more kids, I'd be scary stretch mark lady. Eh. No big. Not like I was into belly-baring fashion in the first place.

We have to be ready for the airport shuttle at 5 a.m. tomorrow. Ass crack of dawn, really. I'm too grouchy in pain to stand anymore tonight so I told DH to head up to the casino with a few people from work so I can rest and finish up a Veronica Mars DVD.

Well, she did have twins.

Exceptionally pretty twins.
