so, last night tommy used his thumb to full effect. he has been discovering his hands lately, and actually sucking on his thumb once in a while, but last night he found that it fit perfectly in his mouth and it put him to sleep. i put him on the futon and even though his thumb popped out, he went right to sleep and didn't need to sleep on me. *sob*

but does that mean i got restful sleep? oh no, not in a house with three babies (well, ok, hiro is practically a preschooler, but he acts like a baby most of the time!) good old tommy has hit another growth spurt and was nursing every three hours yesterday. so that means last night, too. and poor sasha has this cough that bothers her at night. she doesn't cough so much during the day anymore but at night, it can get bad. (note to self: LOOK for that humidifier, lazy!) so...tommy woke at midnight to nurse. sasha woke at one to cough. i waited for her to go to sleep but the poor girl kept coughing. so, i picked up my pillow and went to the tatami room. i snuggled in with hiro and patted sasha's back. finally i fell asleep but tommy woke at three for another nosh. it never ends....
