A couple of birthday pictures

33 years old, 24 weeks pregnant.

Fine, you people want a picture of my expanding belly? Here you go.  24 weeks down, 16 or fewer to go. Pardon the messy hair - I had Benjamin take this before I was fully ready to leave for work. You might get another one next month, if you behave, and if I feel like it.

And here is the strawberry jam/jelly I made over the weekend. As you can probably see, all the berry parts seem to have floated to the top. I think I mashed a little too vigorously, so there was more juice than there should have been, which made jelly instead of jam. Oh well. I am sure it will still taste delicious on pancakes, waffles and toast.
