9013 Scottsboro Drive is a Happy Place

We have been taking the past couple of days to get situated at home and enjoy being Mommy, Daddy and Tyler. We came home from the hospital on Thursday afternoon. Tobi was anxious to see us. She has adjusted to Tyler well. She walks up to him and just looks at him. We had a quite afternoon together and Daddy finished setting up Tyler's equipment. As you can see below, Tyler loves the swing that Aunt Jen and Uncle Mark bought for him. He sat in that while we had dinner. Todd went out and got us sushi, since I couldn't eat it while I was pregnant. It tasted so good! We had a good first night at home. Tyler would sleep for three hours, eat, sleep for three hours and repeat the process. This gave me a chance to get some sleep too.

On Friday my cousin Nikki, her husband Steve and their two daughters, Noelle and Abby came over to visit. Tyler loved meeting his cousins. Abby said her third word, when she looked over, pointed at Tyler and said, "Baby!" In the afternoon, we took Tyler for his first doctor's visit. Dr. Barringer told us he his perfect, but we already knew that! He has had a bit of trouble eating, so we did have to give him a little bit of formula - especially if we want him to be a race car driver - he will need to grow big and strong. He loves to ride in the car and he also likes his carriage (thanks Uncle Adam and Aunt Danielle). I took him for his first walk around the neighborhood Friday afternoon. Friday night was a little more challenging. Tyler did not feel like sleeping, so we were up for a while and he ended up sleeping with us. He isn't spoiled yet!

On Saturday morning, Tyler got to meet his twin cousins - Brooke and Morgan. They were very excited to see him and he just stared at them. Yes, Tyler you were seeing double. In the afternoon, after a little rest, we went to Babies 'R Us for the stuff we realized only after he came that we needed. What can we say - we are new parents. We had a quiet evening together and Tyler slept three hours at a time, so we had a great night!

Sunday was a quiet day. Tyler and Daddy watched their first race together! They are so cute together. Our friend Susan came over to make us pizza for lunch and one of our neighbors came over with food for us. We have met some wonderful people here.

So much has changed for us over the past week. We can not even put it into words. I guess there really are no words to describe how blessed we feel and right it feels to have our son!
