Dahlia meet Boppy



I got the boppy pillow at my shower from my friend Sarah and I love it - but I didn't realize HOW MUCH I loved it til today. Seems that all that talk about reflux & spitting up make sense - if you prop your baby up (in a swing, bouncy or boppy) the spitting up is SO MUCH LESS.



I feel as though a small milestone was reached...(even if it's temporary don't rain on my parade! Small victories, people!!)

Congratulations
All those small victories are a big deal. It gives you the confidence you need to tackle that next thing they'll confound you with. Isn't it amazing how much there is to learn and figure out?

yeah! You poor thing. This is the hard part about parenting is figuring it all out one thing at a time. If it makes you feel any better, Sydney's reflux is so bad I have to sit up strait with her for 20-30 minutes after feeding completely still (which you know is so practical in my life) other wise she loses her lunch....or breakfast or whatever. Now that you're getting Dahlia's reflux under control she will be a much happier baby. BTW a little secret: as weird as it may sound, nurses recommend letting babies sleep in their carseats to keep them comfy from reflux. I couldn't imagine and I tried it the other night because she was super fussy. It worked!!!!

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!
