Hello 2012!

Today is the first day of the year, and it's only appropriate for this to be my first blog post. I'm hitting the ground running while starting this, so I suppose it's only fair to do some intros. Hi. I'm Christi. I'm married to Matt. I have 4 kids, 4 kids under 3 that is. It's fun. My oldest two are identical twin boys, names are Matt and Sam. Born 9/10/2008. Oh, and on their father's birthday no less. Like I tell people, I was able to play God and pick a date, and so I choose that one. I was blessed to make it 38 weeks. And before you ask, Sam was born 1 minute before Matt. Oh how I wish my doctor pulled them out at the same time, just another something they can fight over when they're 10. Jack is next. He's 22 months. Born 3/22/2010. He's my little firecracker. He was the biggest cuddle bug, until he was able to run after the boys. Now, he just tries to keep up. And finally, my little princess, Gabriella. Born 10/4/1011. 3 days before my birthday, and 3 weeks before her due date. I was lucky to get this thing they call kidney stones. UGH. So in order to make me feel better, and for her to not reap the effects of my awesome drugs, they decided to pull her out early. 7 pretty painful days in the NICU, and she made her way home on the 11th. We are one big, happy, crazy, on-the-go, family. This blog will hopefully be a journal in which I can let it all out. The ups, the downs, the uglies. Maybe what I made for a dinner one night, what we did today or where we went, or how I organized the closet the next. Which, by the way, is my secret passion. To be a professional organizer. I will take before and after pictures so when I start my own business, my phone will be ringing off the hook! This is my life, told from the mouth of a hyper houseMoM. cgf
