I have officially given my notice at work, a very bitter-sweet experience. There are so many things that I am going to miss. It is very hard to quit a job I actually love.I am going to miss my team. It is a small (less than 20 of us) and diverse group. I would have never imagined I would be working in Boise Idaho with co-workers from China, India, Nepal, Holland, Russia and all over the US. They are all so great and smart. I have learned so much from them.
When asked "What do you do?" I am going to miss being able to respond by saying "I am a molecular biologist." Completely vain I know -- but I will miss it.
All that being said, despite the struggle to make a final decision, I feel a great weight has been lifted from my heart. Being just weeks from meeting my little girl knowing that I don't have leave her and I can be 100% mom is such a sweet and calming thought.
(These pictures are from our Christmas party and the baby shower they threw for me and yes that is a carebear they are diapering)

Congratulations on the baby, you guys! Glad she is doing relatively well. Can't wait to see pictures.
I hated my job before I had Max so I was so excited to be able to quit! You're going to be such a great mom. It is so much more rewarding (and difficult!) than you can even imagine! Oh, and I'm so excited to see that you've finally got your blog started!!
