Tomorrow's Nearly Impossible To-Do List

Since Dahlia's birthday is on Monday - we're having her party on Saturday. A family affair we'll all be quite cozy in our little house. This list is more for me than you, but here you go!

-Wash upstairs bathroom floor
-hang Dahlia's valance & artwork
-tidy up hallway, put books on shelves (since they're not getting painted anyway!)
-make more Chex Mix (because SOMEONE ate it all already, *ahem*)
-bake Christmas cookies (if I can find my cutters)
-make cupcakes, decorate like ELMO!
-make wild rice soup
-make apple dip
-wash downstairs floor
-tidy up back room & move drum set
-wrap Dahlia's b-day presents + family presents for Sunday
-scrub kitchen sink
-bring up dining table leaves, extra chairs & card tables
-put ELMO decorations up in addition to Christmas decorations
-relax with a cup of hot chocolate

My awesome Mother has offered to bring veggies/dip & the chili for Saturday's shindig which rocks & takes a load off my plate (thanks, Mom!) so looking at this list...I think it's actually do-able!

Which is good because I am sharing a cold with Dahlia and I'm absolutely WIPED OUT today and am heading to bed as soon as I get the dinner dishes in the dishwasher & change the laundry. I know I should get something done tonight, but I have a feeling my body is saying REST, WOMAN! And so I shall.

Yes! listen to your body. I'm exhausted just looking at that list. Remember that everyone who is visiting loves you no matter what your house looks like.

Wild rice soup - that's sounds good, I have to make some for Maddy - she loves soup......cupcakes sound great. (much easier than my plan) Benjamin & I are making a puppy cake for Maddy's B-day on Sunday! Happy B-day to our little ones....cannot believe that they are 2 already!

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.

Born 5:32am on Tuesday, April 27th, 2010 7lbs 11.5oz 21 inches long He came before the pitocin which made Mama very happy & he's 100% all natural. It was tough, but I admit I'm proud of myself for doing it! Labor story to come, but first I must eat a cinnamon roll....

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!
