		<description><![CDATA[At 30-weeks pregnant, even I had to admit my health was disintegrating.
“How do you feel?” The nurse asked as she prepared to take my blood pressure.
“Terrible.” It was difficult to explain. I felt a massive pressure on my chest and it was so bad I slept propped on pillows to breath easier. Conversations were exhausting. [...]]]></description>

Still, I can’t get enough of her and nibble her tender toes, cheeks and belly. Her skin is warm and sweet. [...]]]></description>
