You know what is awesome??

5 hours of sleep in a row!!!!

That's right!

August slept from 9:30 til 3:30am last night. I was probably sleeping by 10 & I woke up at 3 thinking that he was probably not breathing but I restrained myself from going in there (& waking him up). Within about 25 minutes he was awake.

We woke again around 5:30 & I snuggled with him after that. He dozed off & on (as did I) until 8 when Dahlia started yelling for me. Yes! That's right -both kids let me sleep AND it is a rainy crappy day - totally conducive to laying in bed!

I feel like a new woman*.



*I know this likely won't last, or be repeatable any time soon, so I'm loving every moment of feeling slightly rested for the first time in about 6 weeks!

Isn't it an amazing feeling? I hope for at least a few more sleep-in days for you in the next week.

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!
