		<title>Baby P&#8211;18 Weeks!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’ve heard from several of my friends about the “18 week belly pop” that they had during their pregnancies.&#160; Now, at 18 weeks, I am a believer. It’s also crazy how much bigger I look at the end of each day (vs. in the beginning).&#160; These pictures I take each week are in the morning, [...]]]></description>

		<title>A social weekend</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes I can be a bit of a hermit.&#160; Ok, usually I am a bit of a hermit. (source) Ironically enough, however, I love to be around people and have friends.&#160; Friends and relationships in my life are the things that keep me going – the things that make me the happiest and make life [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bring back the Knudsen</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of my pet peeves is when a store that I regularly go to stops making or selling something that I regularly buy.&#160; Especially when I didn’t know it was coming, and I show up at the store prepared to get it and it is GONE. I am in love with Knudsen’s cottage cheese.&#160; It’s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Baby P&#8211;17 weeks!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have got to choose a better time to take these pictures. See, I kept forgetting to ask S to take my picture each week.&#160; So we set an alarm on his phone to remind us to take it first thing in the morning.&#160; Which is why you get my stellar, I-just-rolled-out-of-bed-after-tossing-and-turning-due-to-pregnancy-insomnia look.&#160; According to [...]]]></description>

		<title>The upside of it being Monday</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It was a fantastic weekend.&#160; A sleep-depriving, exhausting, but fantastic weekend. Friday night through Saturday morning I was at work, managing a large maintenance change.&#160; All went well, and the work was completed right on schedule.&#160; I’d been pretty stressed out and heads down planning for that, so I feel so happy and proud now [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am a few days late on this, but please excuse me as I finish working through the major change that we have going on right now at work.&#160; I finally get a few minutes of breathing room! So… on wednesday I was officially 16 weeks pregnant. From Babycenter: Get ready for a growth spurt. [...]]]></description>

		<title>New finds</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’m a sucker for new things – especially new food things.  If it says “NEW!” on the package, I have got to try it.  There have been cases where I didn’t even like the old or original, but I still buy the new one.  Because it’s new, people.  I might love it! Today, I found [...]]]></description>

		<title>An announcement</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Apparently, blogging hasn’t been my top priority.&#160; Actually, it has been high on my priority list.&#160; I have thought about blogging many times during the past week, and have wanted to blog.&#160; But I haven’t. One reason is work – I have been working pretty much day and night preparing for a very large project [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Goodbye 2011.&#160; Hello 2012. I’m about 8 days late.&#160; But in the big scheme of things, 365 days that make up a year, 8 isn’t really that bad… right?&#160; It’s about a2% margin. Now, I give to you my new years, and the remainder of my trip to Switzerland, in the blink of an eye. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[That Ben and Jerry’s isn’t only in the US?&#160; In fact, it is very popular in Switzerland. They even have some flavors that we don’t have (or at least I have never seen.)
