Welcome to my world!
This is a blog mostly about Good night moon and diapers, but with some queer theory and feminist rantings thrown in. I am a lesbian mother living out her dreams with her wife and son in the great state of Massachusetts where we are legally married.
I cashed out my 401k so I could stay at home for my son’s first year. I watched too many episodes of Law and Order, and ended up in law school. My wife and I are trying and have another baby because we just don’t have enough going on right now.
Law and Order could do that to a person. That’s why I try to avoid tv except when I’m alone in a hotel.
Yay, another law school mom.
Your blog is great. Have you read “Adventures of Law School Mama”? Dakota has two kids with her partner and is going into her third year of law school. You might enjoy her.

Okay, duh, I should have just looked at your blogroll.
Hey - Do I know you by another name? (Not really expecting you to reveal that here.) I came across your blog because you link to mine, and you SEEM like someone I should know. Welcome to the club!Baby-making during first year of law school? Really? If possible, wait until Y2. Less stress. The first year is an emotional roller coaster into a strange new land - for you and your wife. It is likely to be wonderful and horrible (sometimes at the same moment) on you and your family. It gets better
Have fun and good luck!
It was very nice to read your blog. My name is Heather and my partner Sheri and I live in Tucson Arizona. We are expecting our first child in December and plan to move to Boston (or somewhere near enough to commute) the December or January following.
There are many reasons for our decision to move: one being that Sheri has no rights to our child here, two is that Arizona is ranked the lowest in education out of all of the states, and three is the job market situation.
I was inspired by your attending law school, as I have dreamed of it but cant see a feasible way to attend since working will not be an option while in school. Sheri and I will both have our Masters degrees by the end of this year (right before the baby is due…whew :-)) and with all of our other plans it all feels overwhelming.
If you get the time or inclination, it would be nice to correspond with you about your move, your life now, and anything else helpful you can think of.
Good luck to you with your classes.
Heather
Hey, this blog is great! Where have you been my whole first semester!
