Memory Lane

I was just checking out my blog from the first weeks of December 2007. In those last few days of not being a parent. Hearing about the snow & the imminent (two weeks! haha) arrival of our daughter. Being utterly depressed the night before she was born while probably in labor the whole time and then blogging the morning of her birth. That's dedication people!

I can't believe she's almost TWO! Good lord! Time flies. I mean, those first few months didn't fly, but overall it flies. I'll have to read up on the aftermath of her arrival and see if I can glean some new insights for after Number 2 arrives (seriously - I need to get this kid a 'nickname.') I love seeing the pics of her little teeny tiny self. Oh my sweet girl. She's a feisty one, that's for sure, and has been from the moment she arrived!

That's one of the wonderful things about these blogs, they serve as very nice diaries to bring back the wonderful, in the moment memories. Happy Birthday, Dahlia!

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!
