Stretch marks and other glorious things of being pregnant

So I am 26 or 27 weeks pregnant now only 13 weeks left until C-section day. Things have been going really well the last few months. I don't get sick anymore unless I eat too much or too many sweets. I wasn't exhausted anymore, no more migranes. I was feeling pretty at ease with being pregnant. And then......UGH then summer hits us full force! I am hot and sweaty all the dang time. I don't even live in Vegas anymore! I feel like such a whiner! I have yet to brand my thigh with my seat belt, so it isn't that hot. We hit our record high last week at 106. Nonetheless, I am dying of heat exhaustion, to top it off I was in Fallon showing houses for hours twice the last week, the heat completely wiped me out! I am back to first trimester tired blah self.
Feeling better this week though.
I am sweaty mess, Secret Clinical is my best friend.
My cheeks resemble those of a raging alcoholic....apparently that is the pregnancy glow! I don't even have the happy buzz to make my unusually rosy cheeks worth it! Check out the rosacea :)
Stretch marks...my nemesis! Ok here is my biggest complaint, This is me pregnant with Brooklyn at 27 weeks, granted it was 9 years ago and oh...about 70lbs ago but I didn't get a single stretch mark, not a single one through pregnancy, it wasn't until I got fat (I am with ya Sue, please no one respond with ...oh your not fat! I am and I have to be OK with it for now) that I got stretch marks. Now already being fat and having only gained 7lbs so far this pregnancy, I am getting stretch marks! What? How is this fair? The answer...IT'S NOT!! (blah) Me know I don't need to stretch!! I am getting tummy stretch marks! So to all of those out there who just
love being pregnant....piss off!! Haha, no just kidding. I like being pregnant, I just hate the side effects!

After you have this baby you might really drop some weight, that happened to a friend of mine. Stretch marks ae like battle scars- be PROUD of them ( I guess). I need your email to add you to my list. THANKS! Congrats!

I'm so happy about this baby! You look wonderful to me! In fact you look so wonderful I'm feeling in need of a hug - which I used to get on a regular basis, I might add! Before you know it you'll be holding a beautiful baby. Isn't that wonderful?!
