Portrait Session

Dahlia had her first professional portrait session yesterday. My mom has been not-so-subtly sending me coupons for Penneys for MONTHS now and I have been MEANING to get her in but it just hadn't happened. Yesterday I decided it would. We got dressed up and went to the store and got an appointment for about an hour later. perfect...I ran some errands, Dahlia didn't spit up on herself and we were good.

It went okay. She had fallen asleep in the car on the way back there so she wasn't very awake or smiley to start with. In fact smiles were pretty tough to come by (and she's usually pretty smiley). Oh well. We got a couple cute shots in her pumpkin outfit and a couple okay ones in her other outfit. I figure I'll probably be doing this again in a couple months when she is 1 so whatever. This should sate the grandparents need for wallet sized photos for now.

Ha! I like the by-the-seat-of-your-pants photos better than the professional ones, but grandmas and grandpas, they know what they want!

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!
