The time has come to withdraw officially from school. I've received my
tuition bill and the last remnants of 1L year: an invitation to law
review.
My school's law review was tremendously flexible regarding my
pregnancy. "Just do the competition," the director said, "and get
accepted. Once you're on law review, you're always on law review." He's
been true to his word so far. I am now free to withdraw.
But I haven't yet sent in the form. I need to do it soon: if I delay
and cause complications for the bureaucrats, I'm sure the great
Bureaucratic Deity will send me bad paper-filing karma later. The
Bureaucratic Deity does not tolerate well those who hassle his
acolytes.
I will withdraw. I do not want to give birth halfway through the
semester, and the chance to spend months with my newborn son is
tantalizing. A year off of law school will fly by. I'm not worried that
I won't go back.
But still, that form sits.

Congratulations on LR. I'm sure you'll enjoy it when you get around to it!
Your hesitation to send in that form does speak volumes. It sounds like you're thinking clearly. Listen to and follow your heart. One thing I do know. You can go to law school at 50, but you can't go back to your children's youth.
Thanks, guys. :) I agree, it will all be fine.
