Happy Birthday Sophie!!

Tonight, we celebrated Sophia's 6th birthday. When I first met her, she had just turned 4 and now, she is so big!!!

Sophia is such a great little girl. I have truly loved getting to be a part of her life and am so looking forward to more to come. She teaches me so many life lessons, the longer I am around her. She has got such a sweet spirit and such a wonderful heart. She loves to share, she is so easy going, and she is so cooperative. She doesn't like stuff, she likes people and being around her loved ones. She would rather have a toy or book that someone can do with her than a great expensive toy to play with by herself. She doesn't dwell; if something doesn't go her way, she might be upset for a minute or two, but then she's over it and on to the next thing. She is incredibly optimistic and always looks at the bright side. She is adventerous and loves to try new things, so its so much fun to take her places. She is beautiful, outside and within. She loves God and her family. She is so accepting of new people, including her new little sister, which I love her even more for. I truly love Soph like a daughter and I am so excited to see what life brings her.

So, we usually get the kids on their birthdays and her birthday is actually tomorrow, but Jordan has a soccer game tomorrow, so we opted to get them tonight. It stinks, because we are not actually invited to their birthday parties with their mom (I know, I know. I hope that won't always be the case, the kids don't like it). So, since we aren't going to throw another party, we usually just ask them where they want to eat and take them there. Surprise surprise, Soph wanted to go to Chiuck E Cheese. I truly hate that place, it is such a rip off, but I digress. She wanted chocolate cupcakes for her birthday, so that's what she got. And she wanted an American Girl doll. I would never normally get this, but they got a choice, one big present or a bunch of little ones, and this was her big present. I think she enjoyed herself very much!

We love you so much, Soph! Happy birthday big girl!

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...

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...
