Packing...

So my latest dilemma. Packing for the 250 mile road-weekend trip to Grandma & Grandpa's house. Ay yi yi...how many outfits? Hats? Onesies? Diapers? Remember the formula, the zantac, the Mylicon drops; Toys? Pacifiers? Bottles....

And Steve & I have a hell of a time just getting out the door the TWO of us...this could be very interesting....

I couldn't help but chuckle! Just last summer I was remarking after packing the blazer for a camping trip - that I don't have ROOM for kids, and that if I ever had any, I'd have to have a trailer... I seriously don't know how my mom and dad managed to go camping with the three of us in a family sized car!

Drive safe and I hope you have a fantastic time!

I would pack 2 or 3 extra outfits just incase she poops or pukes on them. When my babies are that young, I always overpack, but its better to be safe than sorry! I would just bring one or two toys, nothing big cause she'll probably be held by the family the whole weekend, and might not have any interest. Bring an extra shirt for you too, just in case she spits up on you too. Have a great time! And remember to let the family take care of the baby, so you can get some socializing and time away from mommy duty. :)

Not sure if you would want to bring some nursery water with too? When I go to my parents I bring it as I don't trust or like the taste of the water up there. Super old pipes, etc. And since my baby spits up ALL the time, anything to avoid more of an unsettled tummy.

Just a thought.

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!
