5:00 AM

Yes, it's 5:00 in the morning and why, you ask, am I blogging? That would be because I have now been up for 45 min and have so many thoughts running through my head I think it just may as well explode. Austin decided that he would get up at 4:15 to see if he could get up and play...fat chance. I think he woke me up because he was a little disgruntled that he couldn't get his arms out of his blanket. For those of you who don't know we swaddle him up fairly tight when he sleeps, we have done it ever since he was a month old. Now that he is growing he can usually break his arms free at night for whatever reasons and when I get him in the mornings there usually no sign that a swaddle ever existed. I guess last night I wrapped him up extra good, not tight, I just wrapped him a little different and he couldn't figure out how to break his arms free. So he decided he wanted a little help. So I quickly got up and tried to find his gas medicine (that's why he usually gets up) and after 5 min in the dark couldn't find it anywhere then I went in to see him and he was wide awake. So I helped him break his arms free and then picked him up to make sure he was okay. He was really snugly but didn't want to be in his bed, so I thought maybe he will lay quietly in ours.....hahhaha, right. So after 5 min, and now me being awake a total of 20 min I just laid him back in his bed. I remembered that in Baby Wise (the book that I used to put him on his schedule) it said that around 5 months they will get up at like 5 in the morning and talk and play in their cribs for up to an hour, and then go back to bed. I think (since he did just turn 5 months this week) that is what it is. He wasn't fussy or crying just wanted to play but now for the past 45 min he has been sleeping and I am the one left wide eyed and bushy tailed. Alas, the joys of motherhood.

As for today, today is Devon and my 3 year anniversary. What are we doing for it you ask? Good question. This is the first year we will ever really be able to actually do something. Because we, like so many from BYU's, got married right after semester so we have always been packing or traveling on our anniversary and the day itself has kind of gotten looked over. Since BYU-I went to trimesters we were done early this year and so we have already done all the moving that we are going to do for a long time. So, what to do? I really don't have any idea. I would really like to get a babysitter for Austin but we just moved here and I don't know anyone well enough to ask. The only people I would ask are Matt and Meg but they are just pulling into town today and will be starting the long process of moving in. I really want to ask them but I feel bad. I am going to help them move in this afternoon and maybe I will feel things out. Other than my mom and sisters Matt and Meg are the only one's I ever had watch Austin so it would be great but who knows. It's not like we have any big plans and need to get a sitter. It would just be nice to do something. We are in a new place, close to so many things I am sure we could find something interesting to do.

Well, it is now 5:45 and I hear the shower running, so I think I will be nice and go start a big cowboy breakfast for my husband. What else is there to do?
