Avery's Bad Day and Sophia's Funny Story

So, my daughter who normally sleeps all night long, woke us up at 1:30 and stayed awake until 3:45. At 6, when Jason got her up and I looked at her eye, it was crusty, along with her nose. I said, "I think this is pink eye." Sho' nuff, it was.

Man. All I feel like I have been doing lately is taking her to the doctor. And she doesn't like going to the doctor, at all. Luckily, I have the two most wonderful parents who let me go to work the last half of the day and they kept her in the afternoon. By the time I got home, Jason had picked up Avery and I walked through the door to find her face completely red, her eyes watering, her nose running, and she was cranky and running a 101 fever. She was not having a good day. So, we put more eye drops in, fed her, gave her some Tylenol and a bath to wash all of those crusties from the day off. I also noticed she was scratching, so we gave her some Benadryl. By about 7:15, she was in a much better mood. Hopefully, the medicine will help her get some relief and get a good night's sleep! I couldn't bare to take a picture of her when she was so upset, so I just went in there to snap a shot.

What is it with babies and sleeping in this position? And why can't they ever get through the night with BOTH socks on their feet?



I just found this picture from Sunday and completely forgot to post about it. It made us laugh. so. hard. This is just SUCH a Sophia story and one of the reasons I love that girl more than life itself!! I told you we got the fire pit. So, on Saturday, we went outside to enjoy the fire and I told her she needed to go get a sweatshirt on. I told her it was on her bed. Keep in mind, she is a 6/7 size right now. She came outside and I look over at her about 5 minutes later, realizing that her sweatshirt was too short. Then, I saw her sleeves were really short. And then I said, "Sophia, do you have Avery's sweatshirt on?" (They both have similiar shirts like this). This is a 24 month sweatshirt. How she got it on, I will never know. But she wasn't complaining, just enjoying herself!




On a different morning, I had asked Sophia to change her panties before we left the house. Later on in the day, I took her to the bathroom, and noticed she had two panties on. "Sophia, why are you wearing two panties?" "Oh," she giggled, "I guess I forgot to take the first pair off."

That girl is such a trip!

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...
