		<title>It&#8217;s Getting to Me</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been trying my best to juggle being pregnant, caring for a toddler and project managing the basement, but things are finally getting to me. Aiden has not been sleeping well (as usual) and I finally lost it. I forgot about a playdate we had scheduled for today. The mom called me to see [...]]]></description>

		<title>Moving Right Along</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My dad and his wife visited today. We banned the guys to the basement and headed out to go shopping. Unfortunately, Aiden fell asleep on the way to the first outlet store and cried the entire time we shopped there. He eventually perked up and we were able to salvage the outing. All in all [...]]]></description>

		<title>Too Many Playdates</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This week we had 3 different playdates, which would normally be a good thing, right? I have been trying to expose Aiden to as many experiences as possible so he can learn how to socialize with kids his own age. I have been concerned that being at home with me might be a little stifling, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Family Birthdays</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My niece and nephew had a combined birthday party today. Aiden had a great time because it was nice enough out that the kids played at a nearby park for a while. The only downside to the party was that my brother didn&#8217;t plan for food. There were plenty of snacks and, of course, cake, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Oh Happy Walls</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The walls are finally completely done in the basement! They have sheetrock, have been spackled and are sanded. The basement is a bit dusty, but the relief of not having to do it ourselves has been such a weight lifted off us. Now we just have to get my dad to help us with some [...]]]></description>

		<title>First Trip of the Year</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While the extended weekend away from home started off on a cranky note, mainly be me, it ended on a tired note. Aiden has allergies apparently and with each night he slept worse and worse. Our moods were really pushed to the edge for each of us and it seems we need a vacation from [...]]]></description>

		<title>On Our Way&#8230;Eventually</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This morning we are leaving for a mini-vacation in the Washington, DC area. It&#8217;s a 4-day weekend that consists of a hotel stay, a Baptism and some visiting with old (and new) friends. My friend from Junior High has asked us to be the godparents of her second child, of which I am very honored. [...]]]></description>

		<title>I Should Know Better</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am very verbal about telling people my age and my experience with children. Since I don&#8217;t look my age and I have a ton of kid experience, I have no problem letting people know that about me. Sometimes though, I should just keep my mouth shut to avoid any embarrassing situations&#8230;
Aiden has been acting [...]]]></description>

		<title>Try, Try Again</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I wanted to go to the gym. It has been about 2 weeks since my last visit. In addition to wanting to work out, I thought it would be good to get Aiden acquainted with the idea of going. We waited until the afternoon so the high school girls would be there, as he [...]]]></description>

		<title>Party, Party, Party</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This weekend we had 3 birthday parties to attend - a 3rd, 30th and 40th. It was quite the whirlwind for Aiden, what with all that cake! I was nervous that it would throw him so far off his schedule that it would take a while to rejigger him. He seems to be doing ok [...]]]></description>
