What a difference a year makes



Since this picture was taken on my birthday LAST YEAR in Vegas....quite a few things have happened:

(from left)

Sarah H - has an amazingly successful and incredible high-end wedding photography career that she built from scratch in L.A.

Allison (my sis-in-law) - is one year closer to completing her Master's and about to start her journey into that unknown & mysterious land called motherhood (I can't wait for the news of her pregnancy - I'm hoping it's soon!)

Heather - rode her bike (again!) from San Francisco to Los Angeles and is now training for the LA Marathon!!

Sudhara - is engaged to the lovely Mr. Alex. Steve & I will be there for the nuptials in March!

Me - well, I've had a big year: got married, quit my job, started a new company and am expecting our first child! Whew!

Kathy (my sister) - had TRIPLETS!!! TRIPLETS for crying out loud. And they are adorable!

Samantha - super-mom to two already gorgeous (ridiculous, really) daughters gave birth to number three, the very tiny & lovely Miss Sydney on Friday.

Lindsay (my cousin) - had a baby boy in June named Gavin. I have yet to meet him but from the photos he is perfection!

Sarah - rode HER bike from Boulder, Colorado to Minneapolis - WTF? She is crazy and amazing and incredible. Oh she also ran a marathon a week after our wedding last fall and actually TRAINED in the freaking August Vegas Heat while we were there last year! She simply blows my mind.

A lot can happen in a year, eh?

Wow. Maybe it's good that I didn't go - I would have been pretty anticlimactic on that list. Pretty terrific bunch of ladies!!

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!
