This is from the day she was born. She looks a lot older now that she's two months already!So many things have happened in the last two months! I don't even have time to recap. I am immersed in my kid and my thesis. I have to have the draft completed by Monday the 11th (my own deadline) to get it to my advisor. I'm giving her over two weeks with it, then I'm getting it to the rest of my committee. I want to defend in November, so I'm hoping this is enough time for them. I still have to set the actual date for my defense, which I'm going to do next week.
In other news, I successfully did a poster at AMQUA when my baby was 6 weeks old. It was not a fiasco! It went really well. And I went to see a couple of talks including Bill Ruddiman's talk about his anthropogenic greenhouse hypothesis, while my husband hung out with our daughter in the lobby.
Now I'm keeping a baby book after deciding not to keep one and then changing my mind about a week ago. My mom suggested I keep one to write down interesting baby stuff in, and at first I thought it was not my thing. Then I realized that I was already forgetting stuff about the first weeks of having a newborn. Then I figured it was a good idea. And we've been taking oodles of pictures of course.
More to come in the future. I promise!!!

Congratulations on the baby, the poster, and the thesis timeline. I am SOOOO impressed by grad student moms. If you ever need a helping hand on proofreading, etc. - please let me know.
Congratulations! I can't wait to see more pictures of her- she is beautiful!
I encourage you to keep a journal about you and your baby. If you look at my blogs, you will find that one of them is my grandmother's diaries from 1925-1927, a family treasure as we look back at what her life was like as a wife and mother
