		<description><![CDATA[My baby is four-months and eight days old and has never been to the doctor.  But that is about to change tomorrow when I take her to her first appointment.  In the opinion of many moms this might be grounds for a &#8220;Worst Mother of the Year&#8221; nomination, but I had my reasons.

		<title>10 Reasons Why I&#8217;m &#8220;That Mom&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Before I was a mom I was kind of naive. I had a laundry list of things I wasn&#8217;t going to do when I had a baby, because I swore that I wasn&#8217;t going to let being a mom change me; I wasn&#8217;t going to be &#8220;that mom&#8221;.

		<title>Hey Babywearing Mama, You&#8217;re Doing It WRONG</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday while running errands, I found myself in a bit of a &#8220;what would you do&#8221; predicament.
