		<title>Zoe is here</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On October 25th, 7:51am, Zoe arrived by way of c-section.
She was born at 4lbs 5Oz&#8217;s and is now 5Lbs and is finally home with myself, Amanda, and Liam. At the end of this torrid two month period, it&#8217;s nice to be home and enjoying family time, mixed with getting back to work!

		<title>September 10th, &#8216;09</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have contemplated this post for a week or more, wondering whether to just delete the &#8216;twins&#8217; section or whether to carry on with it.

		<title>Canada Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, we get a bit of a break this week; we have skybox tickets for the Nova Scotia International Tattoo festival.
Much like its Edinburgh counterpart, the festival is a stream of song, dance, cannons and more. Should be fun.
Happy Canada Day!

Our appointment was this passed Friday and the main goal was to find a membrane (see here).  The door on finding a membrane was officially [...]]]></description>

Finding a membrane would make the pregnancy much less of a risk, and would ease most [...]]]></description>

Today, we found out that the twins are &#8220;MoMo twins&#8221;. &#8220;MoMo twins&#8221; is short for Monochorionic [...]]]></description>
