I've either been working or sleeping, but never at the same time. What have I been doing with work? Im gla...

I may not think it's so pretty if/when it starts to stick. But that's okay, because I've got a picture! Please excuse the awful hair and lack of makeup. So that's me at 28 weeks pregnant with baby Ninja. My mom took the picture with her new camera in a poorly lit hotel room. Posted by Laura McMeeking. After I found out, I started getting ...
