34w - How is this possible?


Time is seriously flying. When I think back on this pregnancy I remember in June, July, August...etc that it was so far away - Baby B's arrival was just a potential date on a calendar. A date in the winter. A date when there'd probably be snow and the holidays would be over.
And now....it is imminent. That is scary. I'm not ready. I am mentally preparing and we're doing things around the house but the actual thought of bringing the little one home is terrifying to me. I understand that these are normal feelings but OH MY GOD.

I'm excited too. I did the first couple loads of baby laundry last night and I can't wait to snuggle up with the little one wearing these itty bitty clothes. The thought of bonding with our child - of playing, kissing, cuddling, hugging, nursing, loving Baby B is overwhelming. And when we can start doing things outside our house as a family - that is a thrilling prospect.
I guess it's just a continuation of the roller coaster ride and is to be expected. I will take it as it comes and hopefully not lose my mind in the process.

Baby B passed his/her second bio-physical today. He/She always likes to show off for the ultrasound tech and make some crazy movements. For my doctor too as she listened to the heartbeat. This one is a wiggle-worm already, that's for sure. I inquired as to when a potential induction date would be...and as I guessed (with all my vast medical knowledge) it will *more than likely* be between Dec 26 and Dec 28....THAT IS ONE MONTH AWAY PEOPLE!!!!!!

I figured it out....

and IT'S A GIRL!! I'll do a proper introduction later and the whole story and everything but in the meantime, we had a baby girl. 2:15pm on Friday afternoon (I posted at, what? 10;30am? You do the math!!). Her name is Dahlia Marie and she weighed in at a whopping 6lbs even. 19 1/4" long and so incredibly gorgeous (although, I might be a wee bit biased). The birth was the most amazing experience I've ever been through and my mind is still, well, blown, quite frankly. I am so tired though...time for a quick nap before we try to feed again.

Privacy, please!

Well, the time has come. After 6 1/2 years (!?) Naturally Optimistic will be going private at the start of the new year. If you are interested in still reading my INCREDIBLY exciting posts & commenting on my cute children, email me & I will put you on the invite list. Like I said - it won't happen for another couple weeks, but there ya go. Time to make a change. I'm kind of sad because I've met some cool people - randomly - by having this blog....but the phase of putting all my stuff out there for everyone to read is over. Thanks!
