		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t think that there&#8217;s ever a good time or a good way to tell your parents that you&#8217;re pregnant, but I have to tell you before you read any further &#8211; the way I handled it was probably the worst way to go about it. It&#8217;s not any easier when you are in your [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve always been something of an early bird, my eyes popping open shortly after the sun comes up, even on Saturday. Pregnancy didn&#8217;t change that, but now I found myself nodding off on a lazy day, hanging around the house. I was having a lovely lazy Saturday when I decided to wander out to the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;What does this one say?&#8221; Rob asked, standing in the master bathroom near the sink with his back to me. &#8220;It&#8217;s positive, like the last two, so can we put an end to the farce &#8211; clearly I&#8217;m pregnant.&#8221; I said as I handed him the third pregnancy test I had taken for him in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am pregnant. I keep saying it to myself trying to get used to the thought because really there are long stretches where I seem to forget! There&#8217;s plenty of things going on to distract me &#8211; work, dinner with friends, the impending holidays with my family. I go through all of it and pregnancy [...]]]></description>
