the debut of my upper arms

hold your applause.

about a 1/4 of my pregnancy weight goes to my upper arms.

i first discovered this when i was about 4/5 months pregnant with my first daughter

and on my arm very close to my armpit a very little line appeared,

it was my first stretch mark.

i thought i was home free with that little sucker...little did i know

overnight

(literally)

i would sprout a parentheses of stretch marks coddling my belly button.

you win some, you lose some.

point:

(yes, i have one)

i like to hide my upper arms, especially whilst packing a baby.

that's why you usually see me with a cardigan or shirt that covers my guns.

(by guns i mean soft fleshy rippling flab...it's a term of endearment)

my hair is still a bit damp in these pictures,

however i did use my new styling gel again today.

this is my attempt at showing off my sweet shirt detail...it means i don't have to wear any other accessory if i don't want to because my shirt is already decorated.

i am wearing bracelets but i have to say

i think i may be a cuff girl at heart.

the sun came out so i thought i'd give you the glow.

plus it hides my panty lines...yes, that is how high my underwear are right now.

note to self: put a tank under this if you go out in public.

i thought i'd put my hair up real quick...and then the wind kicked up.

hence the surprised bang hold.
