On bonding - and 28 week update

Well, I've been quite slow on updates recently, mostly because husband has spent the last month in Peru.  That means that I have been a) a solo parent, b) a pre-tenure professor who is teaching a class for the first time, and c) pregnant all by myself for a month.  I have decided that any two of these could be manageable, but all three together is pretty bad.  It works as long as everything "goes right," but the major problem is that there is literally no buffer available if something goes wrong.  Even something simple like missing a bus can throw a major monkey wrench in getting the things done that you need to get done, like the daycare pickup or making a morning meeting on time.  The only reason I have the time and space to write this blog entry right now is that Maya is doing something nefarious in my office (being very quiet, answered "No" when I asked her if she would tell me what she's doing) and I just don't have the will to go check beyond that
