Linea Negra

There are these dark lines that can form on pregnant women's bellies, they call them linea negra.  I used to think that they were ugly and hoped I would not get any.  Then I was pregnant with Grace and I developed one.  I did not think it was ugly, but figured that it would fade after I gave birth.  Now I treasure that line as the last visible reminder of my pregnancy.  I am so worried that it will fade.  My husband loves the line as well, like a Grace was here marker.  My DH took a picture of it for me today, just in case it starts to fade.

Grace you were here in my womb and now you are here in my heart.  I love you so much and miss you so much.  Thinking of you always baby girl.
