		<title>How the pros do it</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When you start reading &#8220;expert&#8221; opinions on parenting, you soon find that a lot of the advice is conflicting. I remember being frustrated by this when Meredith was a newborn, and I&#8217;m revisiting that same annoyance again. The problem du jour &#8211; I&#8217;ve been a little concerned about how I am putting the babies down [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I can&#8217;t believe my maternity leave is nearly over. I decided to take only 6 weeks off this time, but I&#8217;m going to start slow (0.5 FTE) and ramp back up to full-time over the next bunch of months. Jordan and Casey are doing so well. They&#8217;re finally having some of that fabled &#8220;quiet alert&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Instant gratification</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes, when easily distracted, I find it useful to take on a small project with guaranteed good results. Enter bead stringing kits! Our tiny town has a sweet bead shop, Glass Garden Beads, and I wandered in there last week, birthday money in hand, to see if I could score a quickie. And score I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Old photo and small brag</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This 1976 photo of me resurfaced recently from the family archives&#8230; Since we just celebrated Meredith&#8217;s second birthday (plus, my birthday is today, woo), I thought it would be fun blog fodder for a follow-up post. Almost makes me want to do a Young Me / Now Me photo&#8230; Maybe when I find that perfect [...]]]></description>

		<title>Baby countdown</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Thank you for all your kind birthday wishes for Meredith. It really was a happy day for all of us. &#8211; We went to a restaurant over the weekend and I had the embarrassing experience of being too big to fit into a booth table. I sat down facing outward and tried to swivel in [...]]]></description>

Please indulge in me as I travel briefly down memory lane&#8230; June 2009 &#8211; first birthday July 2009 &#8211; learned to stand by herself (and learned to walk just a few [...]]]></description>

		<title>Maternity skirt</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A month-plus ago, I went shopping for maternity skirts, figuring I could grab a couple of elastic-waist numbers to wear for the remainder of the pregnancy. Well, color me surprised &#8211; many designers apparently expect you to wear a skirt with the waistband at the apex of the bump! Huh? I tried on 3 or [...]]]></description>

		<title>Belly Watch</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So here&#8217;s how I look right now: Remember the quote from Dave Barry &#8211; &#8220;You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she&#8217;s pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.&#8221; I&#8217;m big enough that random people (mostly men, actually) at work, [...]]]></description>
