Hi, fellow blind parents.

I post pretty infrequently on this list, but I've learned a great deal from
all of you. I'm Jennifer Bose and I live in Brookline, Massachusetts, with
my husband Sunish Gupta, who worked several years ago on the project to
build the early model of the KNFB Reader. Yes, I'm bragging on him a little.
Naming our babies has been interesting since we've tried to find names that
would represent their backgrounds; I'm American and he grew up in India. We
have our 2-1/2-year-old daughter, Abigail Tulsi, and as of last Friday we
have a newborn daughter, Tara Isabel. We're both very happy with two.

I remember asking this list how blind parents manage two children and we got
great responses. It's not that I don't believe it can be done; I know we're
certainly not the first. My head knows that there are all sorts of
solutions, but my emotions play tricks on me. Well, I'll put that down to
normal parental anxiety and ask any of you who have multiple children to
tell me everything I need to know. I'll take any tips you care to send
along, especially about managing a toddler and a newborn. My husband and I
are generally pretty independent and have done very well with one child, but
with two, we're in a new zone. So please let me know what you've done or
what you would suggest for us.
I'm grateful for any and all help.

Thanks so much. This is a tremendous resource.

Jen
