i am drunk in love with her.

boy, she loves solids! she pretty much loves everything she has tried so far. for some reason, the store-bought packets get a better reception than my homemade version of the same.

she loves to laugh and play and explore. she hates to nap.

she cut two teeth yesterday! her two bottom ones -and we think there is one top one that will pop any minute, now.

she is growing up so fast.

i can't get enough of the way she smells, and the way she hangs onto me when i hold her. she's starting to show separation anxiety. she cries if we walk out of the room and she can't see us. a couple of times, matt walked out of the room, and she didn't realize i was still with her.

oh, how she loves matt. she's all googly over him. (i know how she feels!)

she is so perfect and precious. i have been thinking a lot about what i want to do after my fellowship. another fellowship? a real job? academics? it is true that your priorities change during the course of medical training... life happens despite the fact that you are stuck in place. in the past few months, i have already learned how hard it is to be both a good wife & mother as well as a good physician. i am not sure that the two can peacefully coexist as priorities. something has to give, somewhere. one has to give up more than the other, and it is obvious to me which takes priority; i just wish it were easier to reconcile.
