Let me just tell you now how much I hate Capital One. It is soooo freaking annoying because all I want is to TALK TO SOMEONE...a real person, not a freakin' computer and I have to jump through hoops to do so. Also, they charge you TEN DOLLARS to pay a bill on the phone which is the most ridiculous thing ever, because what the hell--you are ( Read more... )

Merry Christmas everyoneee! I got a ridiculous amount of presents. And also, Santa came to Joel's parents' house and filled our stockings. I felt like a little kid again ( Read more... )

Happy Thanksgiving! I'm overly full, just hanging out at Joel's parents' house. His work gave him a free 20 pound turkey, so we will have tons of leftovers...yum, turkey everything. I can't even believe it's already Thanksgiving. Time goes by so fast ( Read more... )

This past weekend was slightly strange, but good. Ashley called me on Saturday night and we talked for the first time since my birthday. Afterwards, Chelsea called me, which was an odd twist ( Read more... )

Bah, should be taking a nap but I am of course not tired when Shayla is. And there's so much other stuff I could be doing while she's asleep that I can't accomplish while she's awake that I end up staying up and being tired. I still need to make lunch and I'm sure she'll be awake by the time I cook and eat it. Maybe before ( Read more... )

Okay, newborn babies get the hiccups so frequently and for such long periods of time. It's sad. Shayla hashad them for like half an hour now. And it sucks because they make her throw up. Such a bonus ( Read more... )

So, it's been almost three whole weeks since Shayla was born. I don't think I've ever been more sleep-deprived in my life, but it's worth it. It's surprising how one can still function on almost no sleep at all. She was doing better with sleeping at night, but then got a cold and wouldn't sleep for like two nights straight. Blahhh ( Read more... )

Well, the big day finally came and went! I had my precious little Shayla Nicole on Sunday at 12:08 AM. She came right on her due date, which is really bizarre. Just barely, but it still happened. She was 6 lbs 5 oz and 17 1/2 inches long. She has lots of dark hair, brown eyes and her daddy's monkey toes. :) I can barely believe it happened ( Read more... )
