Things I miss about dating....
1. Meeting random/psycho/slightly creepy/narcisstic people
2. I don't have as many stories as I used to. I need stories.
3. Free meals
4. Going to different places that I normally wouldn't go to, but I do because I'm stuck without my own car to drive away.
5. Going to places that I like to go, but getting to go for free because the date pays for them
6. Having slightly intelligent, but WAY to deep conversations (I still have intelligent conversations, but they are not creepy like they used to be, which I guess is okay)
7. Again, stories.... I guess I pretty much just miss the stories - like "I dated this one guy....."

Things I've read lately....
I read a lot of blogs. In fact, I probably spend a good majority of my waking hours reading blogs and news. Below are some things that I have found to be interesting, funny or inspiring....
WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!!! I live in Utah, so I can pretty much guaruntee that I will see some mommy wearing this. I promise to the blog world that I will NEVER wear this item, or let any of my friends wear it, without a lot of crap if they do.
I suck at sending any kind of card what-so-ever. So this would be an excellent gift for me.
Oh YES she did. Miss Universe, 2009 Dayana Mendoza recently wrote a blog about visiting Guantanamo Bay. In it she talked about it experience being "a looooooot of fun". She said that she found it to be a "calm and peaceful place" and "didn't want to leave." Wow, yes she did. Poor girl. We never said that beauty pageants were for smart girls.... But hey - she's really pretty! Unfortunately the actual blog has been removed from the website, replaced with a statement from Paula Shugart explaining Dayana's previous blog. Damn, the Miss Universe Organization have some damn good media agents, they are great at damage control. I feel for the girl though, when I was 22, I said some pretty ridiculously awesome things.

Dead Fish
It has been a long and short month. I have never had so many short naps in my life. I wake up every 3 hours almost on cue now to check on the babe. Most of the time he is sleeping soundly next to me. I have succumbed to having him sleep in the bed with us. I always said I would never do that, I don't remember my reasons now. But I realize now that he sleeps so much better when he is next to me. And I think I sleep better too.
Things I have learned in the past month:
1. Cleaning up after myself really isn't that hard if I just do it immediately (thanks Rachel) In order to not get the dishes stacked up (especially the pots and pans) just do them right after they are used. It's not as hard as I make it out to be, I'm just lazy.
2. Never say never. Situations and circumstances change and often they change you too. Things I thought I would never do, or care about, I do. Taking pictures everyday of this little thing, not to mention sacrificing my body, time, mind and sleep to make him happy.
3. It really IS different when it is your own kid. I never thought I would care what was in a babies diaper but I do. I have even been keeping a log of it (pee or poo). Lots of poo or just a little poo? Did he fart today? How many times did he burp up food? What his poo yellow and seedy? (Disgusting, I know. But it really IS different when it's your kid).
4. Babies are just like dogs in the sense that they just poop, pee, eat and sleep. BUT the love for a child is totally different. I can't explain how it is different, but it is.
5. Being a mom is hard because you don't have anyone telling you if you're doing it right or wrong. Is there a right way? What should I be doing? Do I play with him? Is he too young for toys? Should I turn the tv off? Is he getting enough food? I can google all of these questions and read all of the websites and books that are out there, but I still don't feel like I have the answers. For once in my life, I don't feel like I have the answers, nor can I research them.
6. Motherly instincts are real. I know what he needs before he even needs it. I wake up before he does, knowing that he is going to want food, or want to be changed. Or he wants you to stand up and walk around with him. Or he is cold. I don't know if these instincts will last for a long time but I hope they last forever. I want to keep that connection with my son.
7. I love my husband more now that he is a father. His interactions with his son, make me love and appreciate him more than I ever imagined I ever could.
8. They really do grow up fast. People continued to tell me that when he was born and I believed them. But I didn't realize how quickly it happens. Although I miss how little he was when I first brought him home from the hospital, I also can't wait for the growing that is to come.
Thank you to all of my friends and family that have helped me out this past month. The food, visits, phone calls and texts mean a lot to me and have helped me recover from my surgery and adjust to being a mother. It is very much appreciated.
Atlas has his own blog now that he will make postings on, so that my blog will go back to being my own. His blog is private, but we will add you if we know you ;)

Atlas Update
He just saved 15% on his car insurance.
The Milk Coma
Hi Everyone,
Here are some updates for what Atlas has been up to!
Feb 9th - Atlas peed on Mommy during a diaper change! He also had his first official "blow out" with poop all up his back and everything!
He went to the pediatrician (Dr. Brent Eberhard) and did a great job! His height is 20.2 inches (50th percentile), weight 7 lbs 11 oz (45th percentile), and his head circumference is 14 (35th percentile)
We were warned not to have a lot of visitors until Atlas is at least 1 month old because it is RSV season and it spreads like mad. So don't be offended if we tell you that we're not ready for visitors, and PLEASE if you are allowed to visit, don't come if you are even slightly sick.
Feb 10th - Atlas got his first bath. Not only that but he peed all over daddy's shirt before he went to work. Dad says that's one strike, three strikes and he's out on the street (just kidding).
Atlas also peed on Grandma Cher Cher!
Feb 12th - We went through 3 outfits today because Atlas continued to pee and poo on them! Hahaha!
Tyson and I are having so much fun with him. We both love watching him sleep and he makes such silly faces while he sleeps!

Say hello to Atlas
Atlas Thomas Black Whitehead
8 lbs 1 oz
20 inches
Born February 4, 2009 at 1:44 am after 22 hours of labor and then a c-section. The little guy had his cord wrapped around his neck 3 times so we're lucky he wasn't coming out and they decided on the c-section.
