	<description>Better to sit at the waters&#039; birth, than a sea of waves to win; To live in the love that floweth forth, Than the love that cometh in. Be thy heart a well of love, my child, Flowing, and free, and sure; For a cistern of love, though undefiled, keeps not the spirit pure.</description>

		<description><![CDATA[Except we&#8217;ll probably use both for a boy or a girl! We have chosen not to have an ultrasound at all this pregnancy, unless I am advised by my midwife to do so, so I wanted to make a special blanket to welcome either a boy or a girl when the birth-day comes! I just [...]]]></description>

There was an applesauce cake to be enjoyed later with our church community. I got up early to paint the present wrap. She picked out all of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is my first ever wardrobe post and looking at my outfit, I don&#8217;t really feel it is at all post-worthy except when I consider how extraordinarily difficult it is to dress oneself at 14 weeks pregnant. I have always plumped up right away in my pregnancies! And that makes comfortable dressing difficult, unless I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just before finding out I was pregnant I started to read my Grandfather&#8217;s Memoir. I love learning more about that man, he is so precious and inspiring, loving and faithful, encouraging and insightful. Grandpa tells a story of his mother Maude. In the critical moment, she vowed to the Lord that if He would spare [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Do you like Sylvia Plath? I like Sylvia Plath. I enjoyed Gwyneth Paltrow&#8217;s portrayal of her a great deal in Sylvia. After I saw that, I checked out some audio tapes of Sylvia Plath reading her own poetry from my library. I enjoyed those a lot, too. Then came The Collected Poems. Initially, I had [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As the dream of a fourth child continues to thrive in my being, I have begun to take great joy in observing my cycle. Counting days to the right time, counting months to seasons and their possible parallel trimesters, counting perhaps a year to a due date . . . I didn&#8217;t do that with [...]]]></description>
