Whiner

I'm not trying to be such a whiner. I just feel like this is one of the only outlets I have. I really appreciate everyone's comments.

Dude, you're NOT a whiner!! You're tired and being a new Mommy is HARD! There's no shame in aknowledging that. And there is absolutely no reason to apologize for voicing it. Frankly, if more Mommies would be open about how hard the first few months are, less would feel like it's just them not measuring up.

((HUGS)) I have to go back to work full time next week for the first time since Holland was born and it's still a massive juggling act. My house is a mess, I'm always writing out bills at the last second, and there are a billion unfinished projects around here. BUT, we're all fed and dressed, reasonably happy and haven't been evicted yet, so I call it a win. LOL Time (and sleep!) just gives you different perspective.

Vent away lady!!! It makes ya feel better! :)

i agree - with julie. if more moms actually told it like it was perhaps the new ones wouldn't feel like they were alone in all this.

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!
