Avery's Valentine Party

Avery had her Valentine Party yesterday, yay!!! I told Jenn (her babysitter) that I would come and help. She told me kids at this age tend to not participate when their parents are there and just to expect that if I come. I thought I would just let the professionals do it. :-)

Of course, we had to send the "Melmo" valentines.


I tried to take some pictures with her and Jenn, but when I dropped her off, Jenn said, "Avery Duck (that's what she calls her), do you want some eggs and potatoes for breakfast?" After that, Avery wouldn't look at me. She just stared at Jenn like, "Where's the grub?"





I made her promise to send me pictures from the party. I got these around 2 and they made me SMILE so much!!

How she gets all of these little ones to sit in a circle while looking at her intently, I will never know.




Jenn got an idea off of Pinterest for a Valentine's Day craft. This is not the final product, I just found this picture to give you an idea. I need to take a real picture! I love that Jenn sends her home with crafts. Those are the coolest things. She sent her home with a Christmas ornament and I treasure it.

Butterfly feet

Avery did NOT like it at first, she said.


But then she liked it. It tickled her feet and she liked it!

I look at the picture below and see that little girl in her seat with the heart. Recognize that outfit?



She was so little! Awe. Memories.

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...
