		<description><![CDATA[Today was Brooke and Claire&#8217;s 1st birthday. It&#8217;s hard to believe. It seems like just yesterday that they were waking up screaming at 2am and refusing to go back to sleep until 4:30am. Oh, wait. That was last night, so I guess that explains that. Fortunately, that kind of night is a lot less common [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When Brooke and Claire were born, it was not very easy to tell them apart for the first few minutes because most newborns look alike before they get cleaned up, and as cool as the ultrasounds were, they didn&#8217;t really give us much in the way of detailed features to distinguish one from the other.

Besides the requisite amazement at how fast that much time can go by, I reflected on some of the things I can do now that I couldn&#8217;t do four months ago, such as: Change a diaper while only 20% awake, with only indirect light [...]]]></description>

Both to amuse ourselves and to have some convenient shorthand to get us through our days, we’ve come up with some baby lingo that makes complete sense [...]]]></description>

We’ve spotted occasional spontaneous smiles in both girls for a while now, but this was the first time it looked like a social [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Everything seems to shrink around these babies. Onesies that fit just fine only a week or so ago can barely even snap shut anymore. (Fortunately, Claire and Brooke are pretty set for the next few sizes with all the gifts and hand-me-downs they got from friends and family.) My arms must be shrinking, because the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We track poopy diapers pretty carefully around here, because neither of our girls are frequent poopers. To the casual observer, that sounds like something to be thankful for, not something to worry about, but that&#8217;s not the way it works. There are some pretty serious digestive issues that can develop if the bowels aren&#8217;t moving, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A common variation on the question, &#8220;Are they natural&#8221;, when people find out you&#8217;re having or have twins is, &#8220;Which side of the family do they run on?&#8221; In some ways, it&#8217;s a more indirect way of asking the same question, because if the answer is, &#8220;Neither,&#8221; then it&#8217;s probably safe to assume fertility treatments [...]]]></description>
