Colbi Spends the Night with Sophia, the Amazing Baby Whisperer! (and the rest of us)

I asked my sister if my beautiful, fun, crawling (what??) niece could come spend the night with us over the weekend. I really had to beg her for her to say yes. (Right.) We love having Colbi over here and the older she gets, the more fun it is. We especially like having her over when we have all three kids. There is no shortage of attention for her over here when he have all four of them!

Of course, when Sophia is around any baby, it's like watching magic. Babies, especially girls, just LLOOOVVEEE her. Maybe it's because she has two little sisters, but I just think it's because Sophia has a gift. Colbi couldn't take her eyes off of her!

Much like every time we have Colbi over, I always ask Jason, "Are you sure you don't want another one?" To which he very quickly replies, "YEP." Boo. :-)

But we will take this little sparkler any time we can. She just has such a wonderful disposition. Her smile is magnetic and so joyful. We didn't want to make Brooke and Dave feel bad, but we had her walking, potty trained, and saying "supercallifragilisticexpealidocious" before she went home. We are just really amazing with kids, you know. :-)

We ended the weekend with Avery in the playroom watching Brave, eating graham crackers.

Pretty good weekend!

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...
