Not many comments have been posted on the blog, so I figured not many people were reading it. After speaking with friends and family, it was apparent that people were reading the baby blog and were disappointed that there weren't more posts. Being the perfectionist that I am (I am my mother's daughter) and after taking advantage of UK Human Resources Training & Development courses, I have updated the blog with a few new posts. I also used my new HTML training skills to reformat old posts to be more aesthetically pleasing. Thanks to everyone for your patience with the blog. Please DO leave comments, for I enjoy the input and feedback.

A special congratulations to Dr. MB who defended her doctoral defense yesterday. She did such a great job (I was fortunate enough to sit in on the defense)! D & I were unable to make it to M's late night celebration--yes, I fell asleep on the couch before 9 pm! [My early slumber is no surprise to close friends, as many have experienced it at least once (or twice). I swear I am not narcoleptic; I just don't do late nights well any more! :-( ]
We hope everyone has a great weekend! D is golfing this morning and I plan to clean the house and work on my capstone.
For those of you who have no clue what I am referring to, I have been slowly, but surely working on the Master's level capstone (a condensed version of a thesis) to complete the Master's in Public Health (MPH) since before finishing MPH courses last spring. Being the excuse person that I am, I have let moving twice in less than six months, job hunting, working full time, building a house with D, and getting pregnant get in the way of finishing my capstone (AKA crapstone) in time!?! The capstone is almost finished, thanks so constant reminders from my committee chair Dr. C. (a true Godsend), my boss Dr. K. and Dr. S. in addition to encouraging friends. The end is in sight as I finish statistical analysis on the results section and complete the discussion and conclusions. Woo hoo, fingers crossed that I stay on track and defend the capstone before little M arrives!!!
Here's an idea of what little M looks like now (at 27 weeks):
