Hi Denny. Welcome to the group.  My name is Leslie and I have a 7 month old
little boy named Michael. You've come to the right place by joining this
list, as it is an excellent wealth of information for blind parents.  Feel
free to ask any questions any time.  I have a friend who is blind who has
twin girls and perhaps I can put the two of you in touch.  Let me ask her
first.  Take care and again, welcome to the list.
Leslie

Hello,

I thought it would be good to introduce myself to the group.  In 2001
I lost my sight to an immune disorder.  The past 9 years have been
spent going through blindness training, getting my guidedog, getting a
BS in Computer Science, and getting a job here in the Twin Cities.  In
2008 I met my wife and we got married this past September.  My wife is
a Physical Therapist while I am a Computer Programmer.  We bought a
house in Eagan last year.  Now we have found out that we are expecting
twin Girls at the end of December.

I've signed up for this group to get ideas and suggestions for how to
deal with being a blind parent of twins.  I still need to go through
and read the archived messages from this group, but any advice would
be great.  Right now I am mostly looking for any suggestions for how
to deal with the rest of the pregnancy to things I should be putting
into place before the babies are born.

Thank you,

Denny
