Today was the first day since Tyler has arrived that I have not felt exhausted. It is such a good feeling! I feel sane. I was feeling a little cooped up, so Chris and I went for a nighttime drive. We put Tyler in his carseat, got some hot cocoa and coffee, and drove along some of the more scenic parts of Austin (for those of you familiar - Bee Caves Rd to 620, through Riverplace and up Loop 360). We played some John Coltrane on the radio and just relaxed. It was awesome! Tyler was totally crashed out.

Winding up a Thankgiving weekend here. This Thanksgiving I am thankful for the friends and family that have supported us these last 2 weeks with Tyler. There is no way we would have made it this far otherwise. I am thankful for the beautiful baby boy that we have. While my emotions are still balancing out - everyday I feel more connected, more blessed, and more scared. He is going to change my life and I look forward to all aspects of that change. Finally, I am most thankful for my husband. I cannot imagine my life without him in it. He has blessed me in spades and has taught me so much.

OK - I will stop here before I get too cheesy and dramatic. :-p Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Oh - we have added a Tyler section to site - check out the Tyler photo album!!
