		<title>Rounding Third</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Two trimesters down and one more to go&#8211;we are finally in our third trimester of gestation. I was reading about what this means. I’m 29 weeks this week and the sprout is now between 2-3 pounds and approximately 15 inches long. His brain is getting it’s groove on, forming the grooves we associate with the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Love and Hairballs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’m back in Washington. I returned home on Tuesday to a very bushy man-beard in the place where my husband’s face used to be. I managed to excavate a kiss and an explanation that he intends to let it grow, along with his hair until the baby is born. Apparently, he feels this will instill [...]]]></description>

		<title>Family and (My Other Favorite Topic) Food</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Despite being separated from my other half (that is really what it feels like sometimes&#8211;like he’s my other half and without him I’m just incomplete), I am having a wonderful time in Texas. So far, it has been a pretty relaxing trip. I’ve gotten to have lunch with my granddad before he took off for [...]]]></description>

		<title>What a Kick</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Finally, last night, while I was soaking in the tub Spout (aka Marquis, aka Vercingetorix—more on this later) made his presence known. It wasn’t gas this time&#8211;for real! It was full on baby rumble time in my belly. 
He kept it up for about 30 minutes. I haven’t felt any more today, but I’m really [...]]]></description>

		<title>Oh Boy!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We are going to have a son. A little boy that calls me mama and him papa and looks to us for love, support and guidance…and maybe a little mischief now and then. Friday, we went for our anatomy scan. All the important parts are there and one extra part that offers proof of his [...]]]></description>

		<title>What I Learned in My 32nd Year</title>
		<description><![CDATA[To commemorate my time as a 32 year old, here are few things I learned over the past year. I&#8217;m breaking this down into two categories: skills and concepts. Some things you learn how to do and something you just learn. 
Skill: The Proper Way to Row a Row Boat (Mostly)

Skill: Basic Poi and the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Does 33 feel any different than 32? 23? 13?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yes and no. Have you ever gone back and read your old journal entries? It can be a very eye-opening experience. I used to do it regularly and decided it was futile. I learned my lesson.

It's fun to see what I was thinking all those year ago, but eventually I realize that the voice and the thoughts haven't changed much. I struggle with the same issues, exalt in the same joys and response in mostly the same ways. Mostly. Maturity does come slowly.]]></description>

		<title>Bookshelf Banter: The Road</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Road, by Cormac McCarthy, is a literary fiction about a man and his son eking out an existence sometime after Armageddon. Yes, folks, this was an Oprah book not too long ago, but I avoided it at the time. I had a feeling it would dark and somewhat dismal and I didn&#8217;t think I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Money and Happiness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Long, but well worth the read. I&#8217;ve tried to summarize the best points here.
In a typical survey people are asked to rank their sense of well-being or happiness on a scale of 1 to 7, where 1 means &#8220;not at all satisfied with my life&#8221; and 7 means &#8220;completely satisfied.&#8221; Of the American multimillionaires who [...]]]></description>

		<title>Review: A Room With A View</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve just completed E.M. Forster&#8217;s A Room With A View.
Life is easy to chronicle, but bewildering to practice, and we welcome &#8216;nerves&#8217; or any other shibboleth that will cloak our personal desire. 
I wasn&#8217;t happy with the story in the beginning. And to be honest, the characters in this book drove me crazy with their [...]]]></description>
