Although I already posted on another thread, I have not formally introduced myself.
I am married to a medical intern, soon to be ophthalmology resident (July). We've been married for 3 1/2 years. I am an attorney, and together we have student loans that are probably off the charts. My husband is doing his residency at the same hospital where he went to medical school. Although it was not his first choice for residency, it worked out well for me because we didn't have to move, we were able to buy our first home, and I didn't have to take the bar exam again. However, we are on the opposite end of the country from the rest of our family, which has been especially tough for me. We had hoped that my husband would match at the hospital in our home state, but it didn't work out that way. Now, we're hoping we will be able to return when he finishes residency. But, I won't believe until it actually happens.
Anyway, as I noted in my post in the Parenting forum, we do not have any children. But, we will probably start trying in July, once he's finished with his intern year. This is the very issue that brought me out of lurkdom, since thoughts on trying to have children seem to be consuming me lately. I look forward to meeting the rest of you. Thanks.
