^That’s true – I love wool myself, so I hadn’t thought about the possibility of allergy.

I already have this impossibly detailed plan to get pregnant while I’m writing up my dissertation in ~2 years, then have the baby while sticking around in the lab for a while to finish up papers. I don’t actually think babies are schedulable in that way, but it would be really nice not to go off to a postdoc with a brand-new baby.

But my husband’s co-worker has a 6-month-old, and last night at their holiday party, H spent a suspicious amount of time playing peek-a-boo and bouncing the baby on his knee. So somebody in my marriage has the baby bug already. :)

(Also, my co-worker’s partner’s lab has three babies arriving within a few weeks of each other, including a baby each to a collaborating pair of grad students. The PI is not very happy…)
