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....

2nd note to self: if you feel like you have had a hectic day read illahee's blog
:) here is to you getting at least 4 hours of sleep tonight
Sounds like my idea of hell. Hope you get some rest soon, although I know how hard it can be to get some time for yourself with one kid, can`t imagine how hard it is with three little ones. What is that that Jan always says, this too shall pass...
Sasha already turned one, right? Why don't you try giving her about a tablespoon of honey in a little warm water and having her drink it? This really helps my kids with the nighttime cough. also hanging a damp towel in the room helps with keeping the air moist. Hope it helps and hope you get some rest.
Oh my gosh....just reading about your night made me feel exhausted! That sounds like a rough night. I hope Sasha feels better soon, and I hope you're able to get more rest tonight.
