Sleep Deprived

I have a good excuse for not keeping up with my blog. Maddison is ALWAYS awake during the day. Which is great, except for the fact that I don't seem to ever get any work done during the day. Today is the first day that I have had a free moment and I'm taking advantage of it. She's been fed, diaper has been changed, and she's asleep in the swing. So what have I done....well....I've started a load of laundry and then changed it over to the dryer and started another load. I've started the dishwasher. I've even had lunch (which seems to be a very big challenge these days.) I've also baked a cake to surprise Alec with tonight when he comes home.

You might ask what the cake is for. He has been such a big help these last couple of days when he comes home. I know he is exhausted from work, but he will come home and help clean the house or fix dinner or he'll take Maddison so I can get some work done around the house. It's a teamwork effort. Last night I was completely exhausted and Alec could tell that I need to get some extra sleep. So Alec gave Maddison a bath, got her dressed for bed and then stayed up with her until 10:30pm and gave her a bottle and then brought her to bed. I don't remember them even walking into the room last night. She slept from 11pm until 4:15am. It was wonderful to get 5 hours of consistent sleep. Then we all got up at 7am. Alec went to work and I've been dealing with a fussy baby.

But it's quiet right now so I'm trying to get caught up on a few things that have been slipping the last couple of days. Hopefully she will sleep for a little bit longer! So I can grab a quick nap too!!!!

Here are some quick pictures of Maddison:
