Typhoon Songda
Some of you have heard by now that we had a typhoon...and oh boy did we ever!
I was thinking eh...no big deal...the last "typhoon" was less threatening than some of the rain storms we have had. This one though was insane!
The winds started up around 8 or 9ish at night, and were so intense the windows were bowing and the building was moving...OK people...we live in a huge 9 floor block of concrete! The glass cabinets were shaking and I was thinking the building wasn't going to make it...at least the windows would break. The howling and whistling of the wind through the windows was so loud!!
We ...well Sofia slept in the living room away from the windows nestled near one couch to be used as a barrier if the sliders decided to break. I was awake until it ended...I was in and out trying to sleep, but I remember thinking "oh it is quiet now..it is OK...I can sleep." It is crazy what maternal instinct does...cause if it was just me and Tom I would've been out like a log!
We made it through the night...our emergency water that was in the tub leaked out...so much for that! The streets were filled with debris...mainly tree branches. I saw a few dead birds...it was sad! The tree tops are broken and most are dried out from the winds...they are normally so lush here with all the rain, but it looks kind of like winter now.
All I can say is WOW!

5:45 am?
OK well for the past few days now...I thought it was just a series of bad nights...Sofia has been waking at 5:45! I guess it is goodbye to the leisurely days of 8! So sad! We also have both been sleeping in her room on the futon...I hope this does not last. Last night I was so tired from not getting sleep the night before that we both went to bed about 8...in separate beds....then I was awoken by crying and Sofia standing up in her sleep. In consciousness she can get back down, but during these night standings all she does is tire her self out standing, and then doesn't get back down. So I go in, but she won't go back to bed in the crib, so we just sleep in her room the rest of the night.
On a funnier note - she likes me to chase her now! It is so funny! She looks back and sees me and squeals, and starts haulin to the next room! hahahhahah!
