I am 3 months away from finishing my PhD in [Life Science] at a top tier research university. I'm married, with a 3 year old son, 2 dogs, and a house in the suburbs. I also have a number of values, passions, interests, and hobbies that I have no time left for. So I'm trying to revive this blog to explore the challenges of balancing a career in science, a family, and just generally being a whole person.

7 weeks, 4 days
I announced my pregnancy to Beloved PI yesterday, and it went perfectly. :-) Again, I find myself wondering, why do I stress myself out about these things? He always has my back! Best PI ever. So yeah, I said "I'm pregnant," and he smiled and said "I've been wondering when you were going to tell me that." I don't think he actually knew, since I hadn't told anyone else at work, but they all saw it coming. I had been pretty openly baby crazy since that last intimidating conversation back in May, so I guess he had plenty of time to work through any mixed feelings he may have had. Yesterday, he was genuinely happy for me, and somewhat cautious, anxious for me to make it past that 12 week mark. I'm just happy with my little bean's heartbeat!
