Three reflections on being a new mother and a science nerd

  1. The baby steals your brain while you're pregnant, but you get (most of) it back sometime after birth.*
  2. Knowing about science really helps when weeding through all the advice about baby health.
  3. (a) Breastfeeding is a great time to catch up on your backlog of New Scientist and Cosmos.
    (b) Baby vomit wipes off Cosmos better than off NS.

I just read the word 'cosmos' as 'cosmo' (thinking 'cosmmpolitan') and wondered why that was nerdy. Then I read it again properly!

I'm sure all your brain will return quickly! ;)

Thanks... I'm sure that reading Cosmos instead of Cosmo has helped the return ;)
