....and I'm back!

After nearly three weeks without internet, I'm back! Whohoooo! Thank God! I didn't realize HOW MUCH OF MY LIFE is spent online....every time I wanted to do something, know something, chat with someone, be entertained, etc. I couldn't (well, thank god for the iPhone!). Our new windows (lovely!!) are dual glazed double paned argon filled & they completely block our wireless internet signal from the tower (which is only about a block away! Our house has aluminum siding which blocks the signal from coming through the walls AND the modem we had, which worked for a minute or so after the new windows were installed, crapped out. We talked to no less than 5 different techs (at least 5 different phone calls) & received different info from each. FINALLY last Friday night we got someone who was knowledgeable & said our modem was dead....and we FINALLY got the new one last night! Now, I have to find a better place for said modem (it's currently lying on it's side in the middle of Dahlia's floor) but for now I'm on line baby! Apparently we have to now get the signal through our roof as it's our best/only option unless we want to have the window open. ha! not in January!

I have been making a list of all the things I want to blog about...it's much easier to blog in my head than to actually sit down & do it, but we'll see how it goes. In the meantime, I'm back! I can't wait to catch up with you all. :)

Welcome back, we've been missing you. I have been really busy with my blog so if you get a chance pop over there. Have a great rest of the day.

Glad to have you back! I wonder if there's a way to mount an antenna on your roof or in the attic?

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!
