Progress Report

Well, I got quite a bit done yesterday...
  • I wrote out the first batch of Christmas cards (mailed today).
  • Cleaned the house - except for the den/bedroom....that'll have to wait although Steve did vacuum. Love that...
  • Put up my Nativity Scene and got some other decorations out.
  • Made cookie dough
  • Dipped some pretzels
  • Knitted
  • Watched Taking Lives (while doing Christmas cards - a bit inappropriate now that I think about it) and Secret Window while knitting. I'm letting my cable service know how much I love it!
  • Put up the tree! Steve brought home a beautiful (and slightly huge) white spruce and it's awesome. Today (so far) it has green lights on it and my Victorian beads....I have to finish it tonight!
Now it's time to get ready for the Tastefully Simple party tomorrow. I have a crapload of things to make so I better get cracking!

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.

Born 5:32am on Tuesday, April 27th, 2010 7lbs 11.5oz 21 inches long He came before the pitocin which made Mama very happy & he's 100% all natural. It was tough, but I admit I'm proud of myself for doing it! Labor story to come, but first I must eat a cinnamon roll....

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!
