Well, we up and did it. After our first try I am pregnant as of July 06’. Due in April 07. We moved back to Chicago from the New York area for the friends, family and lower cost and greater ease of living. Also, there is more game company action here, which is probably my best bet for long-term employment as an animator. Right now I’m working on animations for internet ad games, and I really like it. So far so good! We’ll see how the animation-making goes after the baby is born.
I think it’s all going to work out just fine. After fretting for such a long time about taking the plunge, it’s really cool to see what the necessity of the situation is doing to my psyche. I worry less about trifles, and am trying to focus on the basic, important things, like doing good work without being an obsessive workaholic, and taking care of myself and my baby.
