Our Weekend

We had a relaxing weekend, for the most part. Friday night, Jason and I watched movies and stayed up (kind of) late and then woke up (kind of) late and watched another movie on Saturday. We stayed in our pajamas and cleaned and then went to my parents to spend the night.

As I have mentioned, Avery is obsessed with hats, especially baseball caps. She will grab the bill and try to eat it. I got some cute shots of her in her daddy's cap.





Then, we dressed her up and headed over to my parents to spend the night and spend the day on Sunday. I just love watching my parents with Avery. They love her so, so, so much.

Avery didn't take a good nap on Saturday and wouldn't go to sleep on Saturday night for anything. We spend all night with her in bed with us, tossing and turning. We woke up around 4:30 and went into the living room like zombies and watched TV, while she ate her breakfast. My dad came in around 6:30 and said, "We will take her, you two go get some sleep!" Well, you don't have to ask us twice! So, we went back to sleep until around 8:30. I love my parents. :-) And of course, they took her into their room and she fell asleep while playing on their pillows. Yeah, just fell right asleep. Wouldn't do that for us, but of course, did that for them. Gees.

Avery has been grinding her teeth like crazy lately. It drives. me. nuts. It makes me CRINGE every time I hear that horrible noise. Now I know how popping my knuckles sounded in my mom's ears when she would go "Quit doing that!!" She would grind them and then hit in a bad spot and would scream bloody murder and cry because it hurt. She has done so well with teething so far, but that was before she got teeth on the top, too. She now has 7 teeth, 4 on bottom that have come in and 3 on top that are coming in. Luckily, we got home last night around 7 pm, she got some Tylenol and a bottle and went to bed and didn't wake up till 6 am this morning. That was good.


Have a great week!!

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...
