TGIF

When I got home last night, Jordan greeted me with a good little surprise. He had made me a card for Step-Mother's Day! (Which, I think was Thursday this year)



What a wonderful surprise. He spent so much time on it! I even asked him who told him it was Step-Mothers Day and he said, "My mom." Ok, that made me feel even better. Our apartment had a fun little Cinco de Mayo social, complete with Freebirds and chips and salsa. I ate chips and salsa all. day. long. I was so sodium-ed out by the end of the day. Bleck.

I love the weekends. It means I get two whole days off to spend with my beautiful daughter. I honestly can't believe that in a couple of weeks, she is going to be 6 months. TIME - STOP PLEASE!! That little booger is STILL not rolling over for me. Literally, I show up to pick her up and Pam is like, "She's been rolling over all day! Even right before you got here!" and then, she stops. Pam says she's never seen anything like it before, it's like she knows I am watching. Little stinker.


I had to get Avery new pj's last night, she has officially gone through another growth spurt at some point in the last WEEK and now only fits in 3 pairs of pjs. She is 5 months and needs 9 month pjs. WHAT???? She is a big girl, really long. It's the length that gets her. Her feet are like to the end of the footie and her legs can barely straighten out. Haha.

I also got some new food for her, ready to go for when she is ready. She has her 6 month doctor's visit on the 31st, so I am going to wait to introduce veggies until I get the doctor's go ahead.

Also, congrats to our friends Karen and BJ on their new addition - PRESLEY! Her family updated her blog all day yesterday to give us up to the minute action. It was like the basketball playoffs, only for girls. :-) You can visit her blog here.

Have I mentioned how much I LOVE this face???





HAVE A GREAT FRIDAY EVERYONE!!

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...

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!...

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...
