Quickly, before Bryan leaves and takes the computer to work...
1. I got an email from the firm yesterday. I finally know what practice group I'll be in!! And it's the one I wanted!! Yipee!!
2. I had a slight emotional breakdown yesterday. I changed my calendar to October and realized that in three weeks I'd be going to work and leaving my baby. I started bawling. After all my bravado about being OK with it, apparently I'm having a more difficult time that I would like to admit. I feel better now - I realized that I'm not feeling guilty, it's really just selfish desire to spend all my time with this amazing, beautiful little person. I have loved having nothing else to do but be her mommy. But she's going to be fine, and she and Daddy are going to have a great time, and that's the most important thing.
3. I'm thinking of taking the blog private. I'm not totally sure why, but I think it's connected to the fact that the blog isn't exactly anonymous, and I am about to start work... I don't know... Anyone have thoughts on this?

what does it change if you take the blog private?
what's the point?
does it add any more fun steps like the stinkin letters that you have to type in to comment? :)

Your work is completely different than mine. (That's quite the understatement!) My coworkers all have my blog address and some of them follow it. If my clients (be them employers, recruiters, students, alumni, parents, etc.) read my blog, I'd be happy. Granted, I also write my posts in such a way that I would be okay with the information being broadcast all over the world. But maybe that won't be the case for you with the nature of your work. I commend you for thinking about it! Let me know what others say, okay? (I'm sure having a kid makes everything different as well.)
I think it's natural to go back and forth with your feelings re: starting work and for the first time being away from your daughter...You'll be her mommy no matter what though, even if you're no longer home with her all day :)
Also, I've wondered the same thing about going private. I decided not to ... I try to remember that everything I write could be read by someone I know in real life, including my employer or friends. Beyond that, I think the benefit of finding new people to share my experiences with online outweighs the risks of what I say negatively impacting my life or career.
