The biological imperative

February 3, 2012 by dberenstein

What keeps me up at night

Just so you know, I also have felt the biological urge to reproduce. What you see above is myself holding the newest addition to my family. It’s a boy!

In the language of physics this is definitely a phase transition in my lifestyle.  And in spite of the warnings about how much work raising children is supposed to be, it is still more than what I imagined. Nevertheless, my wife and I are very happy. We are also very tired at the moment.

 

Finally, this new human explains some of the silence on this blog at the end of last year and more recently. Once sleep resumes I think I will be back to writing posts more often. I also hope to get some research done in the near future, but everything is taking 3-4 times as long than what it used to.

    Congratulations!

    I had to laugh at your clinical summary of your biological urges! (like a good scientist) haha!

    Best of luck, David & son.

    Hi David! A huge congratulations to you and Angela!!! It’s an amazing feeling and it just keeps getting better. Our son is now one (and a bit) and every day is filled with more learning than you can imagine.
