My friend Jenn, a regular on this blog (Jenn, you’re up to 6 tags! Congrats!) is expecting a baby, fairly imminently.  She’s just about the cutest pregnant woman ever.  I don’t have any pictures to prove it because she won’t let me - or anyone else for that matter - take any.  Not that I would post them here; I just want to have them.  In an effort ( Read more... )
