Service

Great Aunt Marian's Memorial service was this morning. Steve & I and Dahlia drove up to Eveleth. I think it was good that we went. We got to see some of Steve's family who had yet to meet Miss Dahlia and it was nice to be apart of remembering Marian. At the reception afterwards we were amazed by the number of church members/friends of Marian's who stopped by to coo over how cute Dahlia was and to tell us that Marian was SO EXCITED to meet the baby that she kept talking about it (both before and afterwards) for weeks. That really made me feel good. I'm so glad that Dahlia got to spread a little sunshine in this world even though she's so young.

Marian's actual funeral & burial will be later this spring/summer when more family members are able to attend.

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!
