A late FYI
Just in case anyone who follows me here doesn't know, I am am 25 weeks pregnant as of today! Jon and I are expecting our first child in early May.

He said he wanted to show me this cool app. I said show me when you aren't driving. The app is for when one is driving and uses the phone's camera to tell the driver when ( Read more... ) -
