They really came into being around Week 12, probably, although that's just a guess. I forget how they first arrived, since it's been gradual. They just kind of crept up and surprised me one day. :)
If I've gone for too long without eating or have pushed myself too long without rest, they disappear. It's a great visual reminder of how I'm treating myself when I look in the mirror.
And if I've made the mistake of losing them due to negligence, a short stay on the couch or bite of something yummy will bring the pink back within minutes.
Thank you, dear God, for my new rosy pink cheeks. I hope they stay with me after the baby is born!
