We survived our first tropical storm with a baby in the house. Actually, it was quite a pleasant storm here at the Bird house. We did get a lot of much needed rain, really high winds but thankfully we didn't lose our power (a lot of people did) and there's no big mess to clean up outside. I guess that's the only perk of not having a lot of trees in your yard (I wish we had more trees until a storm comes through town).
Playing through the storm
The BEST part...the storm provided wonderful sleeping weather. I put Lilly down around 9:45 last night and the winds were so loud I really thought I would have a sleepless night. My girl proved me wrong and slept right through it until (are you ready...) 8:30! I haven't seen 8:30AM (nor PM for that matter) in my bed in a very very long time. It was so great! I greeted my girl in her crib and she was all smiles. I just love my happy morning baby.
I'm very thankful we didn't need to use our flashlights and there was no damage. Looks like we'll have a rainy week though. Today, the storm has downgraded to a tropical depression so there is not much sunshine in our future at the moment. Probably a great excuse to stay in doors and clean out a closet or two...and PLAY!
