Zoe update
08.28.08 | Permalink | 2 CommentsAt her 18 month check-up appointment Tuesday, Zoe weighed 21.75 pounds and measured 80.5 cm (31.7 inches). (I was not present and thus there is no head circumference measurement to report; she has a nice head, and it appears to be a reasonable size for someone of her stature.) She’s brilliant, so all her milestones [...]

T minus 7 hours 40 minutes
08.18.08 | Permalink | 2 CommentsVery quickly now because I need to get in bed… White Coat Ceremony and my family’s visit were awesome. I’m so SO happy to be where I am right now. Retreat was fun. I met many of my classmates and smashed my boobs during the human bowling portion of our version of Olympics. I really [...]

In lieu of studying
08.03.08 | Permalink | 2 CommentsThe last week of the pre-entry program is upon us, including four exams. One – at least I – might have thought this weekend would be one of studying, with the occasional break for consumption or sleep. While there certainly was studying, there was also fun. The whole week was rather extracurricular heavy, even though [...]

Before I dive into the books again…
07.22.08 | Permalink | 5 CommentsA week with no posts?! What a slacker! This program is no joke. I’m loving it. I mean it’s crazy hard and I’m sure it’s only going to get crazier in the semester proper, but what an experience. My classmates get more interesting every day (in a good way), and slowly but surely I’m finding [...]

No
07.15.08 | Permalink | 4 CommentsZoe’s new favorite word is definitely “no.” Whatever question you ask her, the answer is “Noooo,” complete with an emphatic head-shake. It’s cute, not adamant, because sometimes she seems to mean yes, and she’s just saying “no” because it’s her favorite. This morning she stirred at 6:53AM, a mere 7 minutes before my alarm was [...]

Newness
07.08.08 | Permalink | 3 CommentsSo far so good! We had our first set of lectures today – biochemistry – and a brief talk about coping with the medical curriculum. I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity of this program. I am a wee bit rusty, and this is just the jump start I need. My classmates and professors [...]

Welp, here we go!
07.06.08 | Permalink | 3 CommentsTomorrow the pre-entry program begins! My Mom arrived this afternoon, the house is unpacked with mostly everything in its place, and I think I have the details worked out to get to school in the morning. I would say that I hope I’m doing the right thing, but I am more confident than that. I [...]

Another munchkin update
We took Zoe for her belated 15 month checkup today. She is 21.5 pounds and 31.5 inches, with a head circumference of 18.5 inches. For some reason we thought her next checkup was at 18 months (that reason being that our Dallas pediatrician told us that would be the next one), though oddly enough she [...]

Munchkin update
As we are both exhausted, the highlight of today, perhaps this month: napping and snuggling for two hours with Zoe. We took her to the Children’s Museum of Houston on Thursday evening (free family night from 5-8PM!). She had a BLAST in the Tot Spot and it was a totally worthwhile thing to do. On [...]
