Ponderings of a Scientist

Check out more goofy pics at henninger.shutterfly.com.   Addie has her two month old doctor’s visit tomorrow which includes her first round of immunizations.  I’ll let you all know how it goes.

Today I had a meeting with an exercise physiology prof. at UNH, who is doing a study on exercise and lactation.  I was randomly approached by his grad. student at a softball game and  was convinced to volunteer for his study (it didn’t take much convincing me being the science nerd and all).  Basically, I get to exercise - circuit training- then they will measure my blood and milk lactic acid level, then I will feed Addison and see if she is cool with the (likely) high level of lactic acid in my milk.  They’ve already done the study having the women do aerobic exercise and found that while lactic acid levels were elevated, it didn’t bother the babies.  I’ll let you know how it goes.
