    Like everyone else, my hobbies and interests right now revolve around the girls.

    My dh is from Puerto Rico. His background is Spanish and French. I am Austrian, Hungarian, Swedish and German so our kids are quite a mix. I have lived in NY pretty much my whole life and I am darn proud of it and take great offense when anyone disses NY in any way! Oh, and my father is the Real Kramer.

    NYCmom Well-Known Member

    Your age and dh's age:
    I'm 33, DH is 39

    Kids names & ages:
    Alicia and Celeste are 3 months

    Natural conception or did you need help:
    Natural -- and in our second month of trying (I am awed by those of you who went through the struggle of infertility treatments. I don't think I could have handled the stress and the waiting -- you are super mommas!). They are the only twins in our family, so it was quite a shock.

    Do you work?
    I am on a one year maternity leave from my job. I teach English at a Middle/High School for the academically gifted.

    What does your dh do?
    DH is a school administrator -- he runs the 2nd Languages Department at a high school and teaches Spanish to native speakers.

    Hobbies & interests:
    We used to be avid hikers, skiers (cross country and downhill), and campers. Hopefully we can get back into those some day. I also like photography and reading (although that tends to be more job than hobby during the school year).

    Something unique about you or your family:
    Because of multiple divorces and remarriages, I have three MILs and two FILs. The girls have 16 cousins -- they are the youngest and the only twins.

    Anthony James (A.J.) and Benjamin John were born on Monday, May 22nd at 36 weeks. They were via emergency C-section.

    Our pregnancy happened three days after we were married. We were on a honeymoon to DisneyWorld. People teased us that we should name them Mickey and Donald.

    I am 38 and dh will be 50 in February.

    Lucas Bradley and Lynae Claire are 10 months old.

    Totally natural. And a big surprise!

    I am part owner/manager for a cafe. My mom and big sis are my partners in business.

    DH is a "guy Friday" or handyman for a wealthy family. They are constantly redoing something in one of their three homes in Edmond. He coordinates repairmen, maintains all three homes, builds waterfalls, landscaping, etc. You name it, he does it.

    Once upon a time I did karate, rode horses, cooked, read books, did photography. Now I eat, clean, work and sometimes I even sleep. I am addicted to TS and Ebay.

    I met my dh when he was my karate instructor. He is a 5th degree blackbelt and I am a green belt. We are both from "blended" families. I have 6 sisters and two brothers but I am an only child. (My dad had 5 daughters from previous marriage and my mom had 2 sons and a daughter from previous marriage)
