Avery's First Airplane Ride

Well, I have been out of the technical loop for three days, no Facebook, email, texting, or blogging. Gotta say, kind of nice. But we are in our way home from picking up the dogs and I am very glad to get home with my little family. Avery is ready, she was just not having it today.

Friday, we left for Seattle. I wasn't really nervous about Avery on the plane to Seattle. Take off was at her bed time, so I thought she would sleep through, which she totally did. In true Jenna fashion, I Googled anything I could get my hands on about travelling with an infant and felt very prepared. We went through security in a breeze, got on the plane easily, and she ate as we were taking off and fell asleep. It was one of the few times in life with a child that everything went according to plan. Not only that, but we arrived a whole hour early!! Robert said its unheard of to get there in only three hours! She was even greeted by the best people...her Nawnie and Poppy!!!

Here are a few pictures I took. I was way to busy and concerned with Avery to spend too much time taking pictures, but I did get her in her stroller in the airport and on the plane. I have many more pictures of Seattle to come....have a great night's sleep, I know I will!!

Congrats on a successful plane ride! Isn't it funny how we're always so amazed when things actually go according to plan?! Too funny. Can't wait to hear about the rest of the trip. Welcome home :)

That "Thing" in That Basket Isn't a Baby, You Know That, Right?

I have had the most horrible case of writer's block lately! With that said, I saw this article on Babycenter and I just had to write something about it.   So, we've heard of the trend of eating the placenta after birth . We've heard of the trend of putting them in pill form to get the nutrients . But this? This to me, is just the craziest of them all.   As a group of beings on this planet, I've never seen any other mammal who evolves to get to a certain place, then de-evolves on purpose, to be more "natural." I am sure I am seriously about to put my foot in my mouth, I am sure there are (some) people out there that I might offend with my "closed-mindedness" on this topic. But this is just, well, ridiculous to me.   Basically, after the placenta comes out, instead of cutting the cord and detaching it from the baby, you leave the placenta on, they salt it to help with the decomp process, add rosemary (I am guessing for the smell?), then p...

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!...

Some Changes...

We've been going through a bit of a transition at the Whitehead household the last month or so. I haven't really talked too much about it because I wasn't ready, to be honest. It's just a lot of change and I've been trying to figure it out in my head.   As of three weeks ago last Friday, I am no longer a full time work out of home employee.   I can't believe I just said that.   It's been the plan for several months now for me to go into real estate and it was always assumed I'd be doing that part time, while keeping my full time job. Plans kind of changed when Jason got his promotion. He'd always has a job that allowed him a lot of flexibility. In sales, especially after you've been in a position for a while, it just sort of happens that way. He could take Avery to daycare and pick her up, he could take her to doctor's appointments, he could even do chores around the house in the afternoon, while I was at work. I had some flexibi...
