		<title>Murphy&#8217;s Law in Overtime &#124; CAUTION: Ranting will ensue.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hiya, folks. 
So when it rains it pours.  I&#8217;m sorry I haven&#8217;t posted much in the past couple of months, but I&#8217;ve had a crazy time leading up to BabyWatch &#8216;09.  Not to belabour the point or rant too much (though you have been warned), but here&#8217;s a taste of the stuff that happened over October/November/December (I&#8217;ll [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Bradley Debacle &#8211; or &#8211; When to not try to kick a caffeine addiction&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I&#8217;m going to relay my experience at my very first birth class.  Heather and I decided to go the Bradley Method route.  For those of you not familiar with the Bradley method, it&#8217;s one part prepping mommy&#8217;s body for an optimal natural childbirth, one part good nutrition for a full term, healthy [...]]]></description>

		<title>Two cool sites for newbie dads</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So here&#8217;s a short post.  I wanted to clue in newbie dads to a couple awesome sites for new or soon-to-be dads.  First one is fairly out there &#8211; not meaning weird but rather popular, so you may have already heard of it: www.dadlabs.com.  It&#8217;s a great site for dads by dads.  Lots of videos, [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s A Girl! Wait&#8230; Oh crap, it&#8217;s a girl.  I don&#8217;t know anything about girls&#8230;.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;I don’t see women as sexual beings anymore. When I see a vagina, seriously all I want to do is powder it. I just don’t want them to get rashes. There is nothing arousing about it. When my wife is naked in front of me I think, ‘Should I get a diaper?’&#8221;

		<title>Prepping For Baby: The Hospital Kit</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Friends, I&#8217;m back from a short hiatus where I was busy researching and registering, and enjoying the news that my amorphous, asexual kidney bean in week 5 will be coming out a baby girl in week 38.  Now I&#8217;ve got tons of research, advice, and tips to share including a big responsibility for husbands &#8211; the hospital [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Whether &#8217;tis nobler to gender-ify the remaining 22 weeks of pregnancy or not&#8230;  I don&#8217;t think there&#8217;s a right answer.
A woman I work with &#8211; an ops kinda girl &#8211; said that despite her clear aura of process-planning-neonazism, she decided to wait to find out with her husband.  Her reply to the question of &#8220;why?&#8221; was [...]]]></description>
