Naptime Blog

Hello fellow parents and caregivers! My name is Jennifer Nevadomski, one of your Mom Bloggers on Parent’s Choice’s “Nap-Time Stories”! I live in New York City with my husband and three (soon to be four!) children.

I am 34 years old, married to Paul, a wonderful husband and father, since 2007. We were both previously married and we each have a child from that marriage. I have a seven year old daughter named Juliana. Paul has an eighteen year old son named Paulie. We were thrilled to welcome our twin boys, Louis and Anthony, into our family last July. They are now nine months old and a lot of fun. In February, we learned that we were expecting another baby. What a surprise this was! My c-section is set for September 25, 2009. We are expecting another boy.

I have my Master’s Degree in Counseling with an advanced certificate in Marriage and Family Therapy. Prior to the birth of our twins, I was a social worker for a foster care agency here in NYC. I am now a stay at home mom to our children, and although it is the most challenging job I have ever had, it is also the most rewarding. I wouldn’t want it any other way!

Yes, I do have my hands full! Thankfully I am now in my fifth month of this pregnancy, so the morning sickness has ceased and the constant fatigue is now only ‘sometimes’ (ok, most of the time but at least now I can keep my eyes open long enough to talk to my husband after the kids are asleep!).

The twins are hysterical! They are now both crawling (and following them around makes me even more tired!) and their babbles are starting to sound like real communication. With my daughter, we used to have play dates with her little friends once a week, but with the twins, we have play dates every day! So when they fight over a toy, I just break it up and in three seconds they have already forgotten about it (for now… I know this will change in a few months!).

My daughter is the princess… even though my stepson lives with his mother and has his own life (he is pretty much an adult!), she is surrounded by brothers, and loves it! She was thrilled to learn that the new baby was a brother also. She is seven going on seventeen… or maybe she is seventeen already! The attitude sure seems that way sometimes! Otherwise, she IS our Princess, and although she is a girly girl, she is crazy about playing softball and basketball (and is pretty good at it!).

As for Paul and I, we have each been given a second chance at love, and with that also a second chance at life. I feel like I have known him forever, and our family is awesome. Paul is my best friend, and although we face parenting challenges daily (what parent doesn’t?), I think we are doing a pretty good job!
