Moms Have Imperfections

News Flash! Just in case you have been in the dark all this time, thinking that motherhood creates bodies like Elle MacPherson and Kate Moss, consider yourself enlightened. Motherhood makes sags and stretches. It creates nooks and crannies. It pulls and pushes and squishes and sometimes, if not most of the time, it isn’t pretty. But darnit, it is awesome.

Cindy Crawford reveals her stretch marks - and shows she’s human after all
Last updated at 10:22am on 3rd December 2007

Cindy Crawford is more famous for the trademark mole on her face than stretch marks - but it seems that even supermodels suffer from the unsightly signs of motherhood.

The 41-year-old’s body has been splashed all over magazines and has been the envy of every woman.

But her striking stretch marks were seen for the first time when she played in the sea on a Hawaiian holiday this week.

The 41-year-old’s stomach was showing the effects of having two children as she enjoyed the surf on a paddle board alongside her husband Rande Gerber.

The couple have two children, Presley, eight, and Kaya, six. Crawford gave birth to both her children through natural home birth.

She has previously been ranked number 5 on Playboy’s list of the 100 Sexiest Stars of the 20th century.

Still…

Still here…

Still ‘with child’…

Still not sleeping more than 3-4 hours a night…

Still nursing a cold…

Still annoyed by everyone and everything…

Still waiting for the possible cofirmation of the date/time of my impending arrival, scheduled of course…

Still a combination of miserable, anxious and plain ol’ sick and tired.
