Pouring

It's 1:07am. I am up out of bed because it's been POURING RAIN for the last 3 hours. The thunder and lightening have been great but the fact that my basement is flooding is SO NOT GREAT. We have everything on pallets or tables or whatever but it won't matter before long. And the sewer has started to back up. I'm tired and now stressed and have to deal with a nasty situation. Steve went to his Dad's about 15 minutes ago to nab a portable sump pump. This is just awful. :-(

*sigh*

What a mean thing for your basement to do! Hope it got fixed with minimal damage.

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!
