I'm taking full advantage of CE sitting calmly in her swing and WP happily reading Christmas books to write today's post! Before I jump into today's topic, let me tell you about the joys of having a 3 month old and an almost 19 month old...ha ha! Last night was the worst night we have had in a while. DH would probably disagree with that statement and say his worst night was while were at Daddy Bill's when WP woke up at 3:00 am and he and DH had to spend the rest of the night on the couch but that's a story for another day. Today, it's all about the 3 month growth spurt and the cutting of the 1-yr. molars...or what I refer to as the Night from Hell!!
WP went down at his normal time (around 8-8:15) and didn't make too much of a fuss. CE was her normal needy self wanting to nurse on an off from 7:30-9:00 but she too went to bed around 9:30 without too much of a fuss. Being so tired myself, I headed straight to bed after putting CE down only to be awakened at 10:45 by my handsome little man crying for no reason. He quickly settled down thankfully, because at around 1:00 am, CE was wide awake and begging for some food. It took a while, but she was finally back in her crib at 3:30ish and would normally have slept until 5:30-6. However, last night WP decided that he would start screaming at 4:15ish for roughly 20 minutes from what I can only guess is teething pains. While he went back to sleep, CE did not. So DH went and got her and she and I snuggled down on the couch for another feeding session. Luckily, she fell back asleep pretty quickly this time and I was back in bed before 5:00 am. Only problem, WP's been on a kick where he wakes up between 5:00 and 5:30am and he screams until he gets his juice and some snuggles with DH which means my sleep was non-existent last night.
When I was still working, and WP had a night like last night, I could make it through the day at work by hanging low in my office and taking a nap at lunch time but when you are a SAHM, you don't have the option of hanging low or taking a nap (unless you are lucky enough to get both kids to take at nap at the same time). So today is bound to be miserable!
Okay, enough complaining...now on to the true purpose of this post, The Meaning Behind My Blog's Name.
Well our blog's name is pretty sample - Thomson Tales. Since our blog is all about our lives and we use it mainly for our families to keep them up to date on all things Thomson related, I didn't feel the need to come up with a witty name. Our blog's name may not be funny or creative but it fits our blog just fine!
So until tomorrow...
