		<description><![CDATA[When Cheryl (some of you know her as MsGreene) first asked me to blog about my impressions of the birth of our first child I figured it would be a good chance to offer a dad&#8217;s perspective on this amazing experience. I hope this rather long winded, personal account does that&#8230;but at a minimum I [...]]]></description>

Since 2001, the health premiums for a family of four have doubled; health premiums are expected to surge another 6 percent in 2009; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today, 1 in 3 American children has autism, allergies, ADHD or asthma.
What is driving these childhood epidemics? Ten years ago, we didn&#8217;t have this problem. Today, however, some pediatric specialists view our children as &#34;canaries in the coalmine&#34;. So what has changed?

In addition to the physical demands, there are unique challenges that you simply don&#8217;t encounter with singletons, like how to identify similar-looking twins, how to feed two hungry babies at the same time, and how to calm two crying babies at once.

During my pregnancy with Faith and Hope, I experienced a number of pregnancy complications. I had vaginal bleeding and pregnancy-associated diabetes. In my third trimester, I was forced to go on bed rest due to a shortening cervix (a risk factor for preterm [...]]]></description>
