		<description><![CDATA[Am finally getting on the task of record-keeping for the baby-to-be.  Here is the beginning!
 
July 7, 2008
 
Dear Xxxxxx,
 
I think that’s what we’ll name you.  I’ve meant for a long time to sit down and keep track of my pregnancy with you, but for one reason or another time has gotten the better of me.

Narcissists apparently suffer from amnesia quite frequently.  Every point made in the recent blowout between me and my mother-in-law has vanished into thin air, every last bit of lightning-sharp anger has been dutifully swept away like a broom to her size 5 footprints.  It has been nary three weeks since, and the woman has [...]]]></description>
