The Details

Okay - so if you've probably figured out Steve & I are having a baby!

I am 10w, 1 day today and the official due date is January 7, 2008.

We already have a nickname - "chick pea" as the week we found out (or the week after or something) the baby was the size of a chick pea according to a book or the web - I can't remember - and it just sort of stuck.

It was a bit unusal for us to see an ultrasound because it is so early but the Doc just wanted to make sure everything was a-okay. What a TRIP to see the little chick pea moving around. Initially it was swimming all over the place! The arm & leg (one at least) were clearly visible as was the fluttering of the heart. Absolutely amazing. Steve's eyes about popped out - mine probably did too.

It all has become so much more real to us now!

Please keep us and the chick pea in your thoughts as we start this new adventure together!!

Thanks everyone for your awesome well-wishes!

Donna - you can count on me asking you for advice since you're now a pro at this whole Motherhood thing!

K - Have I got some knitting patterns to get cracking on or what?!? :) I swear someday I will make a wearable baby sweater. Having a Jan baby maybe good motivation!!

kmd - can you move to Duluth instead of Florida so you can come and babysit??

Michelle - yes, I like all the vowels too! :) Eeeeeek! Myself!

Deb - so would you say Jan 7 is a GOOD day to be born then?? hee hee!

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!
