Oh wow Scot:

congratulations to you and your wife.  How wonderful!  I have never taken care of twins so I don't really know some of the 
techniques there, but I am sure you will get help on the list here.  Just prepare at first to be sleep deprived ehehehehehe!  Well 
not so funny I guess.

Hello everyone! My name is Scott Greenblatt. I am due to become a first time
father in less than 2 months. I happen to be completely blind and I'm hoping
that this list will help me prepare myself to care for my children when they
arrive. You heard or read me correctly, I'm about to be the proud father of
fraternal twins. My wife and I don't know the sexes of the babies but we're
struggling our way through baby names to try to make up a list of final name
contenders that we can choose from after they arrive. We are living in New
Rochelle, New York in a single family home with our 3 dogs and 1 cat; 1 of
those dogs is my Seeing Eye dog, one is my retired guide dog from South
Eastern Guide dogs, and the other is my wife's pet along with the matching
cat she had when we met. We only moved up here in June and I'm still looking
for work. My wife works 6 days a week as the Cantor of Temple Israel of New
Rochelle and I'm licensed as an attorney in Florida where I grew up. At the
moment we're also trying to register online for baby items that we'll need
immediately when they are born. If you have suggestions on such fundamental
items that we should look into which work especially well for the blind
please tell me about them and why you think they're so marvelous so we can
make sure to pick them up. I would also love to hear about baby care
techniques and procedures to help alleviate my anxiety about how I'm going
to take care of two newborns when my wife has to go back to work after her 8
week maternity leave.

Sincerely,
                Scott Greenblatt
