I'm spoiled!

I've been blessed with some awesome friends & family lately -helping out with the new wee on + toddler; bestowing upon us awesome gifts (for both!); loading us up with borrowed boy clothes & hand me downs which are ridiculously appreciated & of course lots of fabulous comments, texts & chats about how adorable my offspring are. :)

My friend Julie visited the other day - she is an expert baby snuggler as evidenced by the fact that August slept for nearly 3 hours in her arms! She also was gracious enough to stay while I went through the ungodly naptime routine with Miss Dahlia which was a hUGE help. AND the week before she loaded me up with clothes for both kids from her garage sale! THANK YOU!

And she brought us gifts....


August got some super-soft bamboo washcloths & a maple teether; Dahlia got a hexagon ball & I got snacks! Whohooo! Kashi cookies & cereal bars, almonds, tea, jolly ranchers, trail mix & dried fruit. Thank you SO MUCH Julie. Julie came through last time with Dahlia too - spoiling me & my nursing-time snack habits.

My Mom also put together an awesome "care-package" for me after August was born...

I'm a sucker for gifts like this - love to give 'em & love to get 'em (I admit!) so both of these really made my day!!

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!
