Thinking about having a PhD Baby (besides your dissertation)? As I wrap up seven months in the field with my little guy, here are some things I’ve learned along the way
Growing baby, growing challenges!
Ah, thinking back to our first days in Costa Rica….Reed sleeping peacefully by my side as I attended meetings, networked, spent time in the GIS lab, and enjoyed the precious moments of having a sweet little baby cuddled up in my lap. Both Casey and I continued to enjoy fairly regular work schedules, and we started feeling like we really had this parenting thing down.
Excursion to Montezuma
Last weekend, six of our friends from different points in life all converged in Costa Rica at the same time! So we took a quick excursion to Montezuma, which is at the very tip of the Nicoya Peninsula. Somehow this was the first time we made it to the beach since we’ve been in Costa Rica– it’s like I’m down here to work on my dissertation or something 🙂
Baby Reed was happy we finally brought him to the beach so he could get his first taste of sand
