They have finally arrived. I didn't notice for a little while b/c the are on the bottom part of my belly, which I cannot currently see.
I had some more itching so I investigated with a mirror and found some light ones beginning and a few darker ones. My belly button has also turned a nice shade of blue and popped out completely:)
I have been oiling my belly every night and using lotion every morning. I guess what they say is correct, you either get stretch marks or you don't, there is nothing you can do to change that.
I have to admit that I see them as a mark of accomplishment.

I just noticed the same thing the other day...in the same spot as yours! I just happened to be going to my dermatologist the same day and asked her if there was any truth to the cocoa butter thing. She said nothing is really proven to help them and basically I'm just gonna have them because my belly is stretching so fast with twins. Darn it! Like you said, though, it's a badge of accomplishment and hopefully big, healthy babies! :)
and what really blows? getting them (a ton, too) AFTER delivery! :(
I've been following your blog for awhile and just wanted to cheer you on as you get closer to meeting your twins. I've really enjoyed reading your blog. Your blog has given me much comfort as my husband and I are also expecting twins sometime in March. Good luck, i hope things continue to go well for you!!
