			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last night at about 3am Kesha felt we needed to head to the hospital. She was having some mad contractions and thought she might be in labor. When we got here they checked her and she was definitely in labor and going to have a baby soon. So now it is 9:30am &#8212; her water broke, she has an epidural, and she is progressing nicely. By the end of the day we will have our little baby Isla in our arms.</p>
<p>More to come!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wow! I must say I have never seen my wife so large&#8230;in a good way. Kesha is officially full-term and Isla&#8217;s big debut is just around the corner. Every time Kesha calls me I think she is going to tell me she is in labor. I can&#8217;t wait!</p>
<p>As much as I can&#8217;t wait for Isla to come, I am cherishing the moments that I have with Cohen as my only daughter. She is such a special angel and she just melts my heart. I love her with every fiber of my being. She makes me such a happy guy.</p>
<p>Today when I came home for lunch she ran into my arms screaming &#8220;Daddy! Daddy!&#8221;. I just love that! She really adores me as much as I adore her.</p>
<p>Cohen will always be my little love bug, but soon she won&#8217;t be my only little girl.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Here is to the end of an era:</p>
