My baby.

I had a reflective day today. I knew that I had to go through some of Avery's old clothes but I have been putting it off for a while. Well, here are how many 0-6 months clothes she's got. I am not getting rid of them or anything, just taking them out of the general clothes populations to make my life a little easier.

Avery stayed at my mom and dad's last night. Today, when Avery was taking a nap, dad let me watch all the video he has taken of her since she was born. Jason couldn't watch it; it made him sad. It made me a little sad too. She was so little....SO little. I just can't believe how big she's gotten, just in 9 months. She is going to be 9 months old this weekend and I just can't believe how fast its gone. I know I say that all the time. All parents do. But its because it is so, so true. My dad pretty much got good footage each month of her life since we were in the hospital. It blows my mind, when watching each month concurrently like that, how much she really did change each month. She went from being a completely helpless, little baby who couldn't control her head, her arms, nothing, to each month getting more and more control. I watched her try and handle toys, to trying to sit up, to smiling, to trying to scoot. Its miraculous, completely miraculous.

I just can't believe that in 3 months, her first year of life will come to and end. And then, on to the next. I am so happy for the next stage, but so sad that I only have 3 months left of my baby being an infant. God has blessed me with her so much. And I never take one single second for granted. I love her so very much. So much.

Well, enough of that. Have a great week, everybody!!

It is so sad putting clothes away! I cried yesterday because our guy has already outgrown some 0-3 month clothes and he's only 1 month old :(

Your dad is so sweet to film her so often-you will treasure those videos forever!

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...
