Mom of twins will teach you to love your stretch marks
When Hayley Garnett’s toddler son pointed at her postpartum stretch marks, she took it as a chance to enlighten him.
“What’s wrong with your belly?” little Archer asked, noticing new lines on her tummy. A week had past since newborn twins, Ramona and Ruby, had arrived.
“I told him that all of my babies leave marks on my belly so I never forget that I grew them in my body all on my own,” the mom-of-three explained.
She shared the sentiment on Instagram, alongside a snap of her postpartum tummy and newborn girls nestled on either side.

“Whether I’m truly confident having these marks or not, it’s no doubt a testament to the miracles my body has made,” the post continued.
