		<description><![CDATA[I always look forward to visiting my daughters in the NICU, which we&#8217;ve been doing twice a day since they were born three-and-a-half weeks ago, but I&#8217;d be lying if I said every visit was full of non-stop fun and bonding. There&#8217;s a lot of boring downtime mixed in, and even when I&#8217;m basking in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For the first time since a brief meeting on Mommy&#8217;s chest right after being delivered, Claire and Brooke are sharing space again. We&#8217;ve been looking forward to them co-bedding for a while now, but it couldn&#8217;t happen until both babies could self-regulate their body temperatures. That ability is closely tied to body weight, and though [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The girls&#8217; quick growth and development continues. Brooke graduated from her isolette to an open-air crib a few nights ago, and when Claire gets just a little bigger and is regulating her body temp better, they&#8217;ll try co-bedding in a pediatric crib. Both are gaining weight well and steadily increasing the amount they eat. They&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The girls are doing great. I look forward to Kate being fully recovered from her c-section and the gall bladder surgery to come, both for her sake and for mine. Mostly, I hate seeing her limited by pain; but also, I&#8217;m incapable of keeping the counters and floors as clean as tidy as they need [...]]]></description>

It happened a day later than originally planned, but we were happy to wait as long as it took for the doctors to feel confident that the girls&#8217; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I consider myself a fairly sensitive, in-touch-with-his-emotions kind of guy, but for whatever reason, I rarely cry. I don&#8217;t chalk it up to my upbringing, because I wasn&#8217;t raised by a macho dad or parents who taught that expressing any sad or tender emotions was a sign of weakness in a man. I got the [...]]]></description>
