This is for all the people who want to see how a PhD student in French Literature juggles life, baby, dog, cat, husband, and social life. Because what an adventure, right?

Nicknames
Antonia has a gazillion nicknames. Among them: Babis (from the Swedish word for baby "bebis" then babyfied even more) Coo coo pigeon (it's a long story) Baby bear, Tia, Nonia, Tonia, Coo coo Babis... what? I'm losing you? Well anyway. More importantly I've decided I need to learn to sew. So I bought a sewing machine and tried it out last night. The first picture shows, as you can see, that I do not actually know how to wield this crazy contraption. The second is... A coo coo pigeon coming in for a crash landing! (I chose the "early bird" wash on instagram. I thought it appropriate) Please bear with me as until I make something really good. Then please shower me with praise. Thank you.

Another morning obstacle. Woke up to a text from the babysitter (she lives down the street and has 3 boys) saying her oldest has pink eye and a sore throat. So guess who's coming to school with me today? Another day, another 10-month-old class mate! Luckily I have a friend who can watch Antonia while I teach. Finding time to read for my last PhD comp which is in a month is an entirely other matter.
