Results of the blood test are in, and I am really truly officially pregnant. Still in shock, but holy cow I'm happy.
Happy New Year!

Newly-minted PhD in a heavily male-dominated field, struggling with all the typical work-life balance issues as I try to find a post-PhD job while taking care of my two sons, LL and Kermit.

About Me
Short Background
S and I have been married for eight years, and we've been together for more than a dozen. While I was in school working on my PhD, we managed to have two kids: our preschooler son, LL, was born in September 2008, and our infant son, Kermit, was born in January 2011. Now that my PhD is mercifully behind me, I'm spending all my time reading Green Eggs and Ham ad nauseam, playing endless rounds of peekaboo, and preparing myself to start a full-time post-PhD job.
