  Greetings -- My name is Trish. I am Mom to a 19 month old gorgeous girl and wife to a young Professor at MIT. I am technically still a graduate student at Harvard, though I just began a year leave of absence so that I can solely concentrate on my family.
I am not a fan of daycare -- there's plenty of research out there which prevents me from enrolling any child of mine into even the "best" of institutions. My daughter has been by my side throughout the Master's portion of the Harvard program -- this break comes before I begin the Ph.D. portion (IF I go back after the birth of my second child).
This is a high-risk pregnancy, since I developed an extensive blood clot (Deep Vein Thrombosis) during the third trimester of my first pregnancy. I will have to inject myself with blood thinners twice a day throughout this pregnancy, and my hopes of having a natural childbirth at home are pretty much shot to hell. My toddler is crawling all over me -- I want to take her to the Children's Museum in Boston, so I'll write more later, or tomorrow.
