Congratulations to all the future doctors and parents. :thumbs: I did both of those things (finish my doctorate and had a baby within 8 weeks of each other) in 2009, so I do know how major both of these events are! How wonderful it will be for all of you to do it as partners in loving relationships!! I wish you all well. Life is finally stabilizing for me a bit as I have my first renewable one year contract at a community college (I've given up on the thought of a 4 year institution while solo parenting and wanting to be a good parent) starting in August. I've been working three jobs without benefits (14 hour days for less than a secretary makes!) at various institutions since graduating and also solo parenting. So, this is a big step in the direction of less stress and more job security. I have my first weekend to myself in 2 1/2 years this weekend too. I have started exercising again as well!! Life is looking up! I have actually started having company over (after my daughter sleeps since she only has visitation with her dad twice a month ~and sometimes goes 2 months without seeing her~ and he is unwilling to make any plans for in advance for that) after 2 years of not even talking to men - well after swearing them off forever. This are HUGE steps for me and I feel alive again! It looks like there are many positive updates! Congratulations to everyone and I wish you the very best!:dance:

Okay...so my post disappeared. Let me try again!

My hubby and I are doing well. We went back to Ethiopia earlier this year and had a good time with family and friends. I'm trying to finish my PhD program this year, so things are pretty hectic. Hubby started a fashion consulting business. He's very talented and very much a people person. I'm excited to see him have his own business again. We're planning to have a baby sometime next year, first for us both. So lots of new things going on that keep us busy. I hope everyone is doing well!

Congratulations!!! I wrote my dissertation (all but two chapters) while pregnant, and it was not easy...but I know it was easier than having a new blessing. Once my daughter was born, I didn't ever want to talk about my research...just the baby! What a joyous occasion! Congratulations!!! Enjoy the euphoria and then get to the writing!!! :-) Best to you and your new family. You are on top of the world!

I passed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
