I AM FINALLY GOING TO START POSTING....

I have now had this blog for 18 months and have a posted on it yet...NO!!! Everyday, I think about posting but something comes up, mostly getting sucked into reading other blogs. So now I am going to start, I hope...

First off, a little about my humble and seemingly normal life. I am a mom to two preemies. Kate is almost 3 and was born 6 weeks early (after a near delivery at 26 weeks, resulting in 8 weeks of lovely bedrest for me). As a side note, I was working at the time and so I did get paid for all 8 weeks of watching TV and reading magazines, not a bad deal. Well we thought Kate was a handful...her brother decided to show her up. Matt is 9 months old now but he decided to show up a little over 8 weeks early. Matt spent 9 weeks in the hospital fighting pneumonia induced by aspirating on milk. He is our little trooper and has kept a smile on his face the entire time. I am also a wife to a great man, Alan, who so lovingly goes to work every day so that I can stay home and spend the money. Thanks babe!!!

Prior to mommyhood, I worked in the accounting industry doing taxes and estate planning for high wealth individuals - first at Arthur Andersen and then at HSBC - for 9 years. I loved what I did and also working in San Francisco and do miss working, well really, I miss the social life and the shopping.

Currently, I am dealing with potty training (still after 3 months), Kate starting preschool, tons of physical therapy for Matt (possibility of Matt having cerebal palsy from all his complications) and also speech therapy for Matt for supposed oral aversion, and also trying to have a social life myself and lose this freaking baby weight once and for all.

So this is my life in a nut shell. Not glamorous by any means but eventful for sure....So enjoy our journey!!
