Just wanted to say -- I hear you.Earnest Englishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01947000435270263070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7357866983330020330.post-50616267208809116192010-03-10T16:01:09.972-05:002010-03-10T16:01:09.972-05:00Oh no!

Not many of my close cohort have or want children as well, so I'll be interested to see how I fit in as the only parent on the tenure track. It's been a cool ride so far - thanks for chiming in and welcome!medieval womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00457130525946143002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7357866983330020330.post-42374363142870452472010-03-09T14:03:01.873-05:002010-03-09T14:03:01.873-05:00I'm a lurker, but I had to come out of hiding ...I'm a lurker, but I had to come out of hiding to tell you how excited I am about your pregnancy. I'm also a medievalist, and I just had my second child. I've felt kind of lonely as a parenting academic, so your blogging about your desire for children and now your pregnancy is really encouraging to me. Thank you.Gertrudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15050599503635487688noreply@blogger.com
