		<description><![CDATA[As I approach the “any day now” mark, I’ve been busy checking items off of my to-do list, making new to-do lists and waddling around while the hours and days fly by in a flash.  I’ve been concentrating on the arrival of a new baby, but it occurred to me today that I may be [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I close my eyes and can instantly transport myself back to one of my most profound, early parenting moments. At the time it didn’t seem so special. I had my warm, milk-drunk, week-old, first baby sleeping on my chest. I remember thinking, “Who is this sweet girl and how do I get to know her?” [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am the kind of person that, if it takes too long to figure something out, I jump ship and move on. For example, puzzles. I&#8217;ve never had the patience for any type of puzzle over 20 pieces. Now I flash forward twenty or so years, and life has presented me with a human puzzle. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I woke to a series of contractions last night; so many that I started timing them. They stopped after an hour so they were just practice contractions. Yet, what caught me off guard was how much they hurt! I did not have these contractions during my first two pregnancies. My recollection of early labor is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Our plane touched down on the small landing strip in Kauai. “We’re in Hawaii!!!” Poshy yelled! “Yay!!! We’re in Hawaii!!!” I couldn’t help but exclaim back. We had made it through our five and half hour flight beautifully. Well, except for that bathroom visit. Our timing couldn’t have been worse&#8230; Poshy and I decided it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago, I took my kids to a birthday party where I didn’t know many of the parents. They all knew each other and everyone was very pleasant. Yet, I noticed something odd about ten minutes into the party. The moms were all still talking to each other, but every one of them [...]]]></description>

They were immediately excited. It isn’t very often that I ask them to stand on table tops. They ran from where we were, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week’s visit to the labor and delivery unit reminded me of a few things I dislike about hospitals: that not-so-subtle aroma of latex gloves and disinfectant, bright lights and those darn hospital gowns. The hospital gown in particular makes me feel like a patient and I would really prefer to concentrate on keeping composed [...]]]></description>

Loving on animals.  It doesn&#8217;t matter what kind of creature she comes across &#8211; fur, wings, eight legs or four, with or without a tail, a pincer, or antennae, she never discriminates. In this photo, she is nursing a moth back to health.  DJ found [...]]]></description>

At my routine appointment, I asked the doctor to do a test strip to see if I was leaking amniotic fluid. I was sure I wasn’t, I said, but I wanted to be on the safe side. From experience, I know [...]]]></description>
