2am.... seriously?!?

When I was pregnant with Madison I would get up at 5:30 every single morning it seemed... even mornings when I had no reason to. It sucked, because we wouldn't go to bed early, so I would always be tired in the middle of the day and would end up taking a nap. I thought 5:30 was bad at the time {enter my poor little guy that has NO IDEA what a normal sleep schedule is}. This little guy has been quite the trooper. Most of my pregnancy I've been working the night shift with a 7on/7off schedule. So for a little baby that has no clue what is going on, to have as messed up of a sleep schedule as him mommy has, he is actually doing quite well....BUT.... it seems like every night when I am off work, at about 2 or 2:30am I randomly wake up, and to no fail there is my little guy in my tummy getting his groove on. We usually will have a few hours we sit in the living room and surf the internet, check my email and facebook OCD style, watch TV, update the blog. This morning we even made a new blog background. I can't complain about it too much- after all I am the one that eats lunch at 2 am when we are working. He probably is just getting a little curious about where lunch is. Plus, I have a healthy little guy that just likes to dance in my tummy, and I've got an understanding hubby and Madie that let me take a nap when I need it. And anyways, its only 4 more weeks, 2 of which I will be working and already awake! In the mean time I will just enjoy my dancing guy, and our little Mommy~Baby time we have together. After all, when these 4 weeks are up I'm going to have to start sharing my little guy with Daddy.

But maybe we could at least bump up our Mommy~Baby time to 5:30? There seriously is NOTHING to do at 2am!

Hi, Mr. Goose

Nap time in the big girl bed!

Madie is officially in her big girl bedroom, sleeping in a big girl bed! The first night she made it halfway through, but woke up scared because it was too dark in her room and she didn't know where she was. The second night Miss Madison slept the entire night through! No more crib time for Madie, which is good because now the nursery is all ready for the Little Guy. I'll get more pictures of her room and the nursery up later, but for now this picture of sleeping Princess Madie will have to do.

The Best!

I came home Mother's Day morning from work to find these pink and orange flowers sitting on the table with a cute little card colored for me. Saturday night after I left for work Cody took Madie to the store to get me flowers. He let her pick them out all on her own, and she couldn't have been more proud of them. Cody also helped Madie make me a card, and she was very excited to show me the heart had eyes on it that she had colored. I could not have asked for a better surprise to come home to!

Cody took this picture when she was done coloring the first card. Right after coloring the card he had Madie help fill the vase with water, and although she got some water in the vase, a lot of water got on the table and floor as well.

I was going to blog.....

....but then I realized that this morning I made Cody take the camera with him on his and Madie's fishin-n-n trip. Sorry, I know the suspense is killing yall with our oooober exciting life yet to be updated from our last fishin-n-n trip.

Daddy & Madie's BIG catch!

turn your head to the left, or your computer to the right- I'm not the best videographer...

Daddy's big catch!

Lately we have had a bit of insomnia here in the Burns household, which has led to some interesting and sometimes very tired days. Madie and the Little Guy are already working together to make sure I don't get a full night sleep for the next few years, and my theory is "if mama don't sleep, dada don't sleep." So every morning at some random early hour I get woken up to the sweet calls of "Maaaaaaamaaa, mama, sippy. I want a sippy." Not to be outdone, though, the Little Guy- like clockwork- will first get the hiccups, then start his morning stretches. So, happy little fatty me waddles back to bed, still half asleep- lays down, only to realize I can't breathe worth crap, so the next thirty minutes are spent me sniffling because I am too lazy/cold to get up and get a tissue. Finally I think Cody feels bad for me and gets me a tissue, and we spend the rest of the morning awake--- FUN! Not much to do at some of the random hours such as 2:30 a.m. Thursday we improvised, though. We had thought about doing a little fishing trip and talked about it the night before- but we were going to get up at a regular hour and just do a little something. But, 2:30 rolled around, our morning routine was set into motion, and by around 4 a.m. we were bored snottless. We both kinda looked at each other and decided we'd go up to Strawberry. It was well worth it, though. Not only was the fishing awesome, but we had a great time. Madie is a natural born fishergirl, and Cody caught some AMAZING fish- which Madie even helped reel a few in! I took some video of here reeling in one of the big fish, but I have to edit it first- so that will be to follow in a later post. But, since a picture is worth a thousand words, here are a few thousand words.
