Thanksgiving

We have so much to be thankful for this year. Family and friends, too many to count, that are not too far away. Our health, which I am especially thankful for after the eclampsia drama. Had my BP checked last week and it was 127/72! Never thought those numbers would be so exciting. Blake's job. A roof over our heads and plenty of food to eat. A child that has brightened our lives in so many ways.

This year, we spent Thanksgiving in Chicago with Blake's Dad's family. It was the first time many of them met Mati, and she made quite an impression. So much so that I dont think she spent more than about 5 minutes alone all weekend. The next few days at home were a struggle. Mati did not want to be put down at all, especially at bed time. We had just settled into a pretty good routine with her sleeping in the crib in her own room before we left. Now, she is back in our room again and we are trying to wean her off the attention overload. Just look at all the people that held her. She is pretty adorable, though. I can understand why nobody wants to put her down!
