Blessings

Once again, Seattle pictures are on Jason's phone and I haven't had a chance to upload them on to here, but I did want to take a moment and give some thanks this Friday.

I sometimes have been known to take things for granted. I think we all have, right? So, on this Friday, as I am exhausted from being up all night with a sick baby girl, I thought I would give some thanks.

1. I get glimpses sometimes of how my life would be like as a single mom and I am so blessed to have a husband who is my teammate in raising our daughter. If you are a single mom, I think THAT is the hardest job on the planet.

2. I am so blessed to have parents that I can call at the last minute and say, "I can't miss another day of work to stay home with Avery, can I come down and have you guys watch her tomorrow?" And they say, "How soon can you get here?" And then, they spoil me and take care of me all weekend.

3. I am so blessed to have a beautiful, healthy daughter. She has some congestion right now, but I just couldn't even imagine what it would be like to have a daughter who is sick all of the time. It breaks my heart to hear her cough! I am blessed that at least for now, I have a healthy baby.

4. I am blessed to have a job. I am blessed to have a job that works with my schedule. I am blessed to have a job with a manager who also just had a baby and is sympathetic to how it feels to have just had a baby.

5. I am blessed to have a babysitter who truly cares about my baby.

6. I am blessed to have wonderful stepkids who love my daughter and love me!!



Have a happy Friday everyone, take time to give thanks for life's blessings today!

Guess Who Has A New Potty???

This girl!! Jason and I took Avery to Target tonight to find a potty chair. We didn't know what kind to get. When we got there, she loved the Sesame Street one. It's the kind that sits on the toilet, not an actual chair. I've heard both reasonings on a chair and a pad for the real toilet. On one hand, the chairs are little and easier for them to sit on and they aren't scary to flush. On the other, the pad doesn't require you to have to clean out a chair and they teach kids to sit on the big potty from the get go. What it really came down to was that we just don't have a big bathroom at all, so keeping an actual chair in the bathroom would have been hard. So we got the pad. It has a little hook that you attach to the tank, so you can hang the pad on it. I love this!  I have no intention of actually potty training Avery full out, just yet. I don't think she is ready. But I have heard it's good to have one that they can practice sitting on and get u...

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...
