Fresh Air

Today was good...well, we started off slowly (as we usually do) but managed to leave the house and drop off Miss Dahlia at Grandpa's house and go for a lovely 2 hour hike. The weather was perfect - 30 degrees or so, no wind, really nice. We hiked from Lester Park (along 7 Bridges Road) to Hawk Ridge. It was very nice. We would've skied today but the trail conditions are crap due to the ice and no fresh snow. I was fine with walking though. It felt really really good.

Tonight Steve's brother came over and we're making a pork stir fry for dinner. It's 7:25 and I'm alternatively starving and exhausted...bed sounds good about now but I will try to soldier on through at least 9:30 (Dahlia's next feeding).

Tomorrow - "brunch" with my honey (at home), visiting a great aunt, watching a bit of the SuperBowl while eating chili-cheese nachos and possibly* going to a movie. I love weekends.

So glad you got out of the house. There's nothing like fresh air and good scenery to soothe the soul!

It's finally snowing here today! Yippee!

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.

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!
