this is possible

Ok.  It has been a week now, a week and a day.  Things were very hectic the first few days.  Tilda would not change her own diaper, and still won't, but I've learned to do an ok job at that.  Mothers milk needed to come in as they say.  We needed to surrender to the change in schedule, the hours up in the middle of the night.  They all tell you to get the sleep while you can, and I thought, 'what does that mean?'.  Tired is after a week, a regular.  Do things when you can, as you can, and do a little more as the time goes.  This is about as far as we have got.  We both had papers accepted Tilda's first week of life and while that was great, to have such good news in a short time, there was a need to actually get some work done.  Tilda is not really one for releasing us from our diaper duties so we can work on a journal article so we need to sneak that stuff in while she's sleeping.  What she does not know won't hurt her on this count.  But, all in all it is imaginable that work can be done and a baby can be raised at the same time.  Maybe, maybe, it is actually good timing to have a baby in graduate school.  The flexibility is like no other job, though the pay and benefits are not ideal.  I may have a biased opinion here as my work is primarily computer modeling and that can be done as my advisor says from the 'coffee shop'.  My wife on the other hand, needs to run samples in a lab, and we can't recreate that lab in the kitchen or the nursery.  So, more to come on runnings samples with baby.  The Moby wrap will no doubt prove invaluable and the breast pump sounds quite like the lab instruments, so we're hoping for smooth sampling.  Stay tuned.
