FINALLY caught up (for the most part)

So, I tried to catch up on each and every post I wanted to make since my computer went on the fritz, and for the most part, I did!!

So, Avery Grace is three and a half months old as of right now. I have her in the three things she love to do the most of...chewing on her dad's finger, sitting up, and discovering new things!

As of now, she doesn't like reclining too much. The bouncy seat is good for a few minutes at a time now and is almost touching the floor. She is always trying to sit up, even when I try and cradle her in my arms (my big girl, tear).

She isn't cutting teeth yet, but she loves to bite on things and is drooling (oh, the drool!)

She is in a size 2 diaper, very quickly going to a size 3 (she probably should already be in them, but I have 20 more diapers in a 2 I am trying to use!) She is eating about 7-8 ounces per feeding, 6 times per day, and will more than likely be starting on cereal after her next doctors visit in a couple weeks.

She is rolling over at daycare but not for us, dang it!!!

She still loves to be read to! And boy, is she social. (Wonder why) she wants to be in and around the action all the time. And heaven forbid if you are not paying attention to her!!

She sleeps through the night, kinda. She falls asleep about 9 and sleeps till 3, so she does sleep 6 hours, but wakes up to eat around then. I still haven't figured out how to adjust that schedule, I am not a believer in keeping babies up past when they are tired (a few minutes, yes. Hour or more, no) so if any of you have suggestiions, I am all ears!!

She is in 6 months clothes!

I don't know her accurate weight or length, but will soon!

My little girl is getting so big!!!

What is Your Skin Care Regimen?

Since turning 34 this year, I've been really trying to make sure I am taking care of my skin. I have been using Cover Girl Liquid Powder for years, but it always seemed to break my neck out. And full disclosure, my face cleaning routine consisted of using Avery's baby wipes (which actually do remove eye makeup surprisingly well). So, needless to say, my skin didn't always look its best. So, I received some gift cards for my birthday and I decided to go ahead and spring for some better products. First thing I did was get something designed to clean my face. I ordered the Olay ProX Microdermabrasion System. This system came with the battery-operated scrubber with both a brush and foam pad, plus every day face wash and microdermabrasion wash to be used twice a week. I have really loved using this system. The beauty is that you can really use any face wash you'd like. I will probably buy a pore-reducing wash after the tube they sent me is empty. This syst...

It was a very good day.

I love it when God smiles upon us. I mean, He smiles upon us all the time. But sometimes, it's like sunshine, and Christmas morning, and rainbows, and babies, and awesomeness. On steroids. And I know that those times are not always permanent, so I learn to really wrap myself in His goodness, to take it all in, be happy, and just sit back and wait to see what He is going to do in my life. We have been struggling so long. I knew it was only a matter of time before things would be OK again. Where we would feel a little stability. Where we would take all of the things we learned while struggling and apply then when times are good. We have alot of great things going on in our lives right now. Some really great things. Some amazing, mindblowing, off the grid kind of great things. I wish I could share more, but for right now, let's just say that we are incredibly blessed with some great opportunities God is putting in our lives. I leave you with a gorgeous picture of our biggest bl...

Why I am Pro Universal Healthcare and Changes to Our Healthcare System

Due to my recent proactivity with my credit and paying off debt, I decided to give the hospital a call where I was admitted about a month ago and ask about my bill. I wanted to make sure I didn't miss it in the mail and I wanted to get an idea of what I'd be paying for my stay. I get on the phone with the billing department and the woman is just as nice as can be, really. She was surprised I'd even called her, considering I didn't even have a bill yet. She told me she'd sent the bill over to my insurance to be approved and paid but they hadn't heard back yet. "Just out of curiosity," I asked, knowing I would be responsible for 20% of the final bill, "how much was it?" What I heard next shocked me. "$61,000" she said. I said, "$61,000? I was only in the hospital for a night and only on anti-biotics, you can't be serious! My daughter cost me less than a third of that to give birth to and I was in the hospital two nights!...
