maggie & traci, thank you for saying that!
 jana, i have been rubbing shea butter on my belly- but kind of sporadically. i do it when i remember. i've heard so many times that stretch marks are hereditary that i decided to just see what happens. (so far so good ...) i want to see more bellies too! have you girls been taking pictures of your bellies regularly throughout pregnancy? it is so fun to look back now and see what i thought was a 'big' belly and compare it to now. i'm putting them in a pregnancy scrapbook.
