Exciting News
Adam has an interview for the Chemistry/Biophysics faculty position in SD! We had kind of given up hope on that.
So the schedule for the next few weeks:
Feb. 16th and 17th - Natalie: write like hell.
Feb. 18th - Natalie: turn her dissertation into her committee members.
Feb. 19th-20th - Adam: out of town for a talk in Ohio.
Feb.19th-22nd - Natalie: prepare for her defense presentation and CLEAN THE HOUSE!
Feb. 22nd - Midwives come over for home visit in preparation for home birth.
Feb. 25-29 - Natalie: practice defense and MORE CLEANING.
Feb. 27-29 - Adam: in SD for interview.
Feb. 29 - Adam gets back along with Grandma Nancy and Grandpa Peter
Mar 3rd - Defense
It all feels a little (lot!!!) out of control, but I guess that is life. It doesn't help that people assume that I am going to give birth any minute (because I must look like I am going to pop.) I keep telling them that I am not even thinking about the baby - just the dissertation!
Well, I have a hell of a lot of writing to do in the next few days. Adam has hardly started on his talk for Ohio, Max got sick this afternoon and Adam had to pick him up early from school. Pray for all of us that we survive the next few days, and after that the next few weeks! It is a little hairy around here.

Hi and Goodbye!
*My dissertation is due to my committee in two weeks. (!!!)
*My defense is on March 3. (37w3d!!!)
*Total panic ensuing. (!!!)
*Despite not gaining that much weight (~15#), I am quite large. People burst into gales of laughter upon seeing me. (Not kidding.)
*Kid still has no name. (Max suggests "Wax." And more formally, "Wax Thiex Owen") (Among other crazy names.) (But also has told complete strangers on 3 different occasions that baby's name is Owen. With a completely straight face.) (???)
*Again with the panic. (!!!)
