Great Aunt Marian



Steve's Great Aunt Marian passed away this morning. We were planning on visiting her again this afternoon. She told Steve last fall that it was her "life's wish" to see him hold his child. Needless to say we went to visit her only a couple weeks after Dahlia was born.

She was a sweet woman who I only got to meet a handful of times. It really warmed my heart to see how happy seeing Dahlia made her.

Rest in peace, Marian.

I'm sorry to hear this, Carrie. It's almost like she was waiting to see sweet Dahlia. How wonderful that she could hold her! That picture is priceless.

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!
