With a 20-day-old baby, you’re still caught doing those late-night feedings. In fact, it’s 3:20AM. About 30 minutes ago, I was jolted awake by the sound of my baby’s cries for one of his two (or three?) nightly feedings. Then, I realized that it wasn’t just an old quiet night; a severe thunderstorm had been brewing. I grew up in South Florida and all and recall the many millions of times there were thunderstorms and rainstorms, and I personally haven’t seen anything like this in New York City. The intensity of thunder and lightning was incredible. I even took a video that I’ll post once I actually wake up.
In the meantime, I just heard the cries of a still-hungry baby. Back to the nightly grind!
Update: Here is the lightning we saw as the thunderstorm was waning. There’s no sound in the video though, so you’re not missing anything on that front.
aww those are sweet times – hope you got some rest though.
