Dear Avery, Do You Know....

Dear Avery,

Do you know...

How much joy you bring to me? When I look at you, it is utter joy and sheer happiness. I am amazed each and every day how much more joy you bring me, even more than the day before.

Do you know....

That I would do anything for you? There is no limit to what I would do for you, if you needed me. If it meant I could shield you from pain, or protect you from harm, even if it meant me finding pain or harm myself, I would do it for you.

Do you know...

That there isn't a day that goes by that I don't thank God for giving me you? I am so honored that God picked me to be your mom and I thank Him for it, every single day.

Do you know...

How loved you are? I didn't know I could love as much as I love you. Sometimes, I feel like I am going to drive you nuts with kisses and hugs, because its all I can do not to hold you and love on you every minute of every day.

Do you know...

How much fun it is to watch you grow up? You are so entertaining, so amazing. To watch you learn to sit up, learn to talk, anything. It is my favorite thing.

Do you know...

How lucky I am? You were my very best surprise I have ever had in my whole, whole life.

Do you know...

How much I love your daddy and how much he loves you? I love him for so many reasons, and a big one is because he gave me you. And when I watch his face when he holds you and plays with you, it is pure happiness.

Do you know...

How much I am looking forward to getting to know you? You are like, the coolest person already. And it just gets better every day.

Love,

Mommy

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...
