Milestones... the crap version
This morning, I had this awful burning itch on the left underside of my stomach. Since I can no longer see down there, I went into my husbands bathroom and had a peek in the mirror. I seem to have a rash of some sort. Great.It's a patch of red, bumpy skin about 2 x 3 inches. It itches, but it's like a burny itch. Kinda feels like a heat rash actually, but it doesn't look like any heat rash I've ever had. The bumps are too big. I was trying to peek at it later in the day by stretching my belly skin up while leaning over, when I made another discovery:
I'm starting to get stretch marks.Yay, fun! Right? I drink so much flipping water, I slather on the organic cocoa butter stretch mark cream... but in all honesty, I know they're genetic. I know my mom had a crapload of them, and I know I'm over thirty years old now, not exactly a young, elastic, and supple youth. *sigh* I guess I was kinda hoping I'd get lucky and avoid them altogether, you know?
They're light still. They're not like the ones I got on my hips after I tried the stupid Depo Provera shot when I was nineteen. These look like they started from the inside this time, if that makes sense. The last ones were angry and red, on the surface of my skin. These are pale purple, and I can see them under the surface, like they're trying to break through.
Just gotta tell myself that they're for a good cause, that's all. It's hard, but they're there so I better get used to them.
