Crick

I still have the damn crick in my shoulder/neck and it's really irritating me. My husband is camping (no massage there), my cat doesn't "get" the whole 'massage my shoulder' request that I give to him, and I'm afraid that using the back massager too much will jolt the baby loose - gah! I keep thinking that long hot showers will help, but it hasn't really yet/so far. Hmmmmm. I hope that one morning (soon)I'll just wake up and it'll be gone.

In other news - there was a SERIOUS dance party going on in my belly last night. I was amazed and almost freaked out. This was the first time I could SEE everything on my skin from the outside. It was startling. Both the sight of it and the feeling. Again Beavis couldn't give a rat's ass and Steve was gone so I had no one to share with. It was cool, but I couldn't help but thinking, damn, this is like an alien trying to get out of my stomach! Weird. Weird. Weird. There were a few little movements during the night but luckily they didn't keep me up. This morning bigger ones started again....but not with the intensity of last night. I hope to get some of it on video because it is pretty wild.

Ooooh! I loved that. I thought I wouldn't - I thought it would freak me out in an aliens-type way, but it didn't. What's really fun is that after Kate was born sometimes she would move or stretch in a certain way and I would recognize it - "Oh! That's what you were doing in there!"

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!
