A Confession

Alright, I admit it. I am truly, maddly and deeply in love with my daughter. She is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life, her smiles are golden, her expressions are priceless and watching her learn things blows my mind.

You know in the cartoon version of The Grinch, when his heart grows two sizes and it pops out of the heart-x-ray-machine thingy that they're looking at it with? Well, that's how my heart feels every day.

Someday it might just burst right out of my chest.

I think now we know how our parents felt about us. There just is no comparison to that kind of love. Blessed.

I was right around four months when that registered for me, too. Sadly, that was right when I had to take her to daycare - partially why that just didn't work for me at all!!

It's amazing how much bigger your heart can grow.... :-)

Isn't it amazing? And who can blame you with that gorgeous girl?

And it continues to happen, I've found. Sometimes I am just overcome and have to hug her for a very long time, even though she's a toddler now and doesn't like that very much.

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!
