At the bank today...lol

Ok, so get this. If you haven't read my previous blog, you need to before you read this one. I was talking about the incredible job offer for a marketing research company that Ramon got in the mail. I really wanted this f'n thing to be true. So anyways. We decided to take this 3 thousand dollar check to the Bank of America (that was the bank on the check) and tried to open up a checking account with it. We just told them that it was a job offer and everything. We didn't tell them that we had any suspicions at all about it and the guy like was looking at the check and was asking us all sorts of questions about the job and stuff and then he's like "I'll be right back" and he locked his drawer and went to go consult his superior or whatever. We were sitting there like OMFG we're going to have the cops called on us! We were all sitting there trying not to look suspicious. He came back and told us that it was a fraudulent check and that he couldn't cash it and stuff. Ramon just wanted to get out of there. We all played innocent and stuff and he was like showing us what all was wrong with the check. I guess the logo was off and certain things weren't right about the check. The numbers at the bottom were slightly blurry and the signature was weird too. We told him about the letter that came with the check but we told them that we didn't have it and that we would bring it back. We were nervous that if we gave it to them we could have gotten in some type of trouble for money fraud or something. I still don't know if we could have really gotten into trouble or not but I didn't really wanna deal with cops and stuff because we all know how good my record is. lol. We left the bank relieved. I'm still mad that it wasn't real tho. I really wanted it to be true.

OMG and while we were waiting at the bank to speak to the dude about opening an account there was this foreign guy from some remote area in the middle east came in and was wanting to talk to someone about his wife's account. She was out of the country and he needed to talk about some over draft fees or something. Well, this guy wasn't on the account in any way and from working for T-Mobile, I know that there's cpni regulations that we have to follow about account security. It's fcc regulation that if you're not listed on the account then you cant gain access to it. It's like that with banks, cell phone companies and pretty much everything. Well this guy was getting mad because she couldn't discuss the account with him and he wasn't understanding why. She didn't quite tell him that its a law but more that she just couldnt because he wasnt on the account. You know what this douche said?! He goes "well you're country is STUPID, my country blah blah blah blah" I looked at Ramon and was like "dude, did you just hear that?" We were both super pissed. Like for real. You don't have to be here. if its so stupid and your country is so much better, than GET THE FUCK OUT. YOUR FOOD PROBABLY BLOWS, YOU CANT SPEAK ENGLISH, AND YOU SMELL LIKE CURRY. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind foreigners, but the second your mouth flies open and something as stupid as that flies out, you are then nothing to me and no longer deserve to be here. For the rest of the foreigners that respect this awesome country we live in. You can stay, eat some hotdogs, and be merry.

Whew...

So... I'm just sitting here bouncing my lil girl in her bouncy chair. She just let out a nice cave-like yawn and made a lil baby noise after it. Awe. So cute. I'm pretty tired myself. I haven't been sleeping too much lately. Babies are a lot of work. Lately Amiah has been sleeping a bit better than before tho I must say. She'll go to sleep and sleep about 3-4 hours at a time and wake up eat and go back to sleep. I average about 4-6 hours of sleep a night. I'm getting used to it. I don't get as pissed off in the middle of the night. lol.

Yay, my friend Bill just called me. I made him Amiah's Godfather. Ramon and I are really close to him and we've known him for a long time. He's awesome. He knew from the very beginning that Amiah was going to be a girl and it happened. I'm not sure what all a Godfather is supposed to do or if its more a title but I thought Bill would be good.

::yawn:: Amiah's got drool coming out of the corner of her mouth and her eyelids are droopy. Let me see if I can get a picture of it. Dammit. I took the picture and went to import it and it said it had an error on the file and it wouldn't import.

Ahh well. I have to go back to work really super soon. I'm kinda excited. I haven't worked in so long tho I think I forgot all of my passwords and stuff for my systems on the computer there. lol. Tomorrow I'm going to go shopping for new clothes. I'm too small for maternity clothes and too big for my pre pregnancy clothes. I need some business casual clothes for work.

Dude.

So ramon got a letter in the mail the other day and its from a research company. Ramon takes these survey's online and gets money for doing them, it's not too much but it adds up. Well, he gets this letter and its a part time job offer. It's a company that's looking for people to try out different foods, products, and services. You have to try these things and then send in an evaluation form for it. Included with the letter stating all of this, there was a check for over 3 grand. Included in the check is the first week's salary of 450 dollars! So the assignment is to take 10 dollars and spend it at McDonalds on food and then evaluate the service and product and then 10 dollars at Burger King. Then you're supposed to use the rest which is over 2 grand and use money gram or whatever, and you're supposed to wire money to the given agent at the given address on the letter. The check looks completely legit. The whole thing does really but Ramon is convinced that it's a scam. I really believed it at first but now I'm beginning to question it like Ramon has done since the beginning. Its too good to be true as he says. He looked up money laundering schemes and stuff and found that this offer is identical to other fraudulent offers that have been caught. I just don't know if we could get into any trouble by seeing if this is real. Like actually cashing the check and doing what it says. We can't really get into trouble if we honestly didn't know that it was fake, if in fact it was. If the check clears and everything we should be good right? We gain 450 dollars! Crazy stuff.

Ok, the baby girl is getting tired. That's my que! Night!

One day at a time...

So. I'm just sitting here. Amiah is in her bouncy chair being pissed off. Not sure why tho because she's dry and she's not eating so I don't think she's hungry. She's just being a booger. I need to go to walmart but I don't want to take her when she's like this because there's a chance that she'll stay like this while I go into the store but then again she may fall asleep thirty seconds into the car ride and be fine for the rest of the time. Ok. She's yelling at me. Bye!

Amiah met her great grandparents

After midnight Gremlin feedings...

So it's about 4 am and I just put Amiah in her swing. She ate about 4 full ounces. I'm hoping she goes back to sleep easily. She fell asleep earlier at about 10:30 pm or so and slept all the way til about 3:15ish. It's getting alot easier. The first few weeks were really touch with her waking up so many times during the night and I couldn't sleep more than an hour and a half at a time. I would get so cranky! (sorry Ramon). I printed pictures for Grandma, I just have to pick the rest of them up from Walgreens and then I have to take the thingy to the post office so I can mail it. It shouldn't be too much money to mail it. I think she'll be impressed at how quick I got the pictures to her. ::yawn:: I just drank some chocolate milk. It was really good. Ramon is on his way to Dunkin Donuts for some donuts.I think he's going to get some munchkins. He's at work tho. He's going to bring me home some donuts. I'm excited. I haven't had a donut in forever! YUM! I think tomorrow I'll call and have my phone exchanged for this stupid audio issue. Growl. Amiah's eyelids are starting to get heavy so I think I'm gonna move her into her car seat and lay down myself. I think MASH just came on tv, I need to change the channel. lol. G'night!

Here are the pictures I promised...

Do a lil dance....

Hi! I haven't posted in awhile so I thought i'd hop on here and write a lil somethin soemthin. Haha. I just got done feeding my adorable lil gremlin. She's passing out now because she ate almost 4 ounces. She is finally eating more less often and at night she's sleeping alot longer! It's glorious. Lastnight she slept for almost 6 hours straight! Ramon got off work early and let me sleep. He took her for a car ride cuz I guess she was being a booger and during his car ride a deer ran in front of him and he ended up hitting it with the passenger side mirror. Not really any damage and I guess the deer ran away so hopefully it was ok. I'm not sure if Amiah woke up during the whole ordeal but it was crazy.

I'm doing a load of laundry right now. I had to wash a few things cuz Amiah puked on on me the past 2 days. Regurgitated formula smells really foul. lol. Yesterday my brother and I took Amiah to the mall to walk cuz it was kinda cold outside and the Easter Bunny was there! We totally got her picture taken with the Easter Bunny! She slept during it and then woke up after the pictures were printed so that kinda sucks but it was still really cute. I wanna do it every year. I put her in her cute lil bear outfit yesterday and everyone loved it. It's so damn cute.

I still need to import pictures from my camera to post on here but i'm not going to do that right now. I'll do it soon tho cuz i have alot of pictures!

Yup

So, It's almost midnight and I've been up since 9 am. I'm getting a wee bit tired but Amiah was being a booger and wouldn't fall asleep. She's hanging out in her swing right now and will hopefully fall asleep soon. She's been having alot of gas lately. I dunno if its the formula or if its just that she doesn't burp enough during the day during feedings. Everytime I try to burp her, she doesn't burp. Very rarely does she ever burp. Ramon is better at making her burp than me. It's a learning process I guess. With all the books I've read about babies and stuff, I still don't know the half of it. Thank god for parents and the internet. Heh. I have to go back to work soon. I really don't want to go but in a way I do because I'm getting bored. I'm just nervous because I don't know how well I'm going to adapt with staying up so much throughout the night with Amiah and then having to go into work in the morning... It'll be so much easier when Ramon starts working days. I can't wait. it'll be nice having him here at night with us. I sometimes get nervous because you never know what could happen, plus we don't have a car when he's at work. I hope Gary can babysit for us during the days when we are at work. It's only 3 days out of the week so that's cool. I would so much rather have Gary watch Amiah than put her in day care somewhere. Gary has always been really good with kids and I totally trust him. Plus then she'll get to hang out with her Uncle all the time. Family is good. I should probably try to get some sleep soon while she's sleeping. Bye!

Out and about...

Amiah's first trip to the mall

This is Ramon and I's friend, Jen. She's holding her daughter Mekenna and my Amiah.

Taco neck. lol

Hi! I had a great day today! My brother came with Amiah and I to the mall and we walked around with Amiah in her stroller. I think she had fun. lol. She prolly had no idea that she was not at home because she pretty much slept the entire time but it was still cool. The stroller is super nice and is really easy to use. We didn't go in many stores because most of them were super warm inside plus its hard to bring a stroller into alot of the stores because they are so small and I remember I used to get all pissed at people with strollers because they'd be all in the way and stuff. hahahaa. Now I'm one of them. haha.

My dad called me today to see if we wanted to go eat fish fry at the american legion tonight. We are all meeting there at 7pm to go eat. I haven't had it in so long but I remember the fish was really good. I remember my parents taking us a long time ago and my dad bought those pull tab lottery tickets for us to do and I remember not winning. hahha. I wonder if they still have those. ::shrugs:: who knows.

Today is Amiah's one month birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMIAH!!! lol. I cannot believe it's been this long all ready. Time is already flying by. it doesn't feel like a month has passed. It's been so long since ive worked. I still have 4 more weeks of no work. Its kinda nice but I know i'm getting kinda bored not working. I miss everyone I work with.

I'm gonna post some pictures on here. ::waves:: Bye!

Yay!

I made and ordered this case for my phone!

I gots me some sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeep

Lastnight was pretty rough with the whole sleeping ordeal. Ramon and I had kept Amiah up from about 5:30p til 9:30p thinking that she would pass out for a few hours and that way I could sleep too. Lately when we've been trying to keep her awake its been smooth sailing as far as her waking up eating and then going right back to sleep. Lastnight, she went to sleep and woke up at around 1:30 and didn't go back to sleep for anything! She was up for over an hour. I was so cranky. When Ramon got home he let me sleep for a solid amount of time which was f'n awesome. It had been so long since I've slept for longer than 2 hours at a time. (Thanks Ray!) Here's some pictures of Amiah. The one with the Wii controller is when I was playing Harvest Moon with her passed out on me! and the other one is when Amiah was waking up Ramon for me. lol.

I have an awesome boyfriend...

Hi! I'm just kickin it with my baby girl and I thought i'd hop on here and do a quick post. Lastnight went ok with Amiah. Our sleeping and everything. Lastnight I kept her awake from about 5 pm all the way until 9 pm and then fed her and put her to sleep and she actually slept for a couple hours and so did i. she only woke up a couple times to eat and after each time it was pretty easy getting her back to sleep. So that's a plus. I'm going to have to try to keep her up every night from 5pm til 9pm so that it makes my nights easier. It gets hard when she doesnt sleep because when ramon has to work i have to watch her all night and when he comes home hes tired and needs to sleep so i have to watch her all day while he sleeps. I tend to get a lil frustrated because it feels like i'm watching her ALL the time but since i'm not working yet its the least I can do. I can't wait until Ramon goes to days its going to make life so much easier. Hopefully Gary will be able to babysit. I don't trust a daycare, especially with her being so young. So yesterday while ramon was sleeping after everyone left I got flowers delivered to my apartment! It was so nice of ramon to do that. He did it because I was really stressed the other day and had zero sleep and he wanted to make me feel better. The flowers are beautiful too. I've never seen pastel purple roses before. I posted a pic but you can't really tell how pretty they are compared to real life. I also included a video of me trying to keep Amiah awake lastnight. lol. Pretty funny.

yay

I survived the family gathering. It was pretty cool having everyone over today. Haven't seen my Aunt Polly in quite a few years and they've never met Ramon so it worked out pretty well. Sunny really liked to hold Amiah, I think she liked babies. I told Aunt Polly that it was better than her having one of her own. Haha. Here's some pictures of everyone holding mah lil bundle of cuteness. :-)

It's back!

So, the fedex guy delivered my laptop back to me today. I was pretty excited. It didn't take long at all. It was like less than a week I think. All my stuff is still on it too! My letter to Amiah and some pictures too! I'm not sure what ended up being the problem but my screen is fixed so I'm good to go. Amiah is chillin in her swing right now looking around. She ate a lil bit so she'll probably be hungry coming up. She gets to meet her second cousins and family tomorrow. She just doesn't know it yet. lol. I dunno how everyone is going to fit in my lil apartment tho so I'm a lil nervous about that cuz I'm not sure where everyones going to sit. I'll feel bad if people have to sit on the carpet. Who knows. Anyways. Lemme get off here. I'm going to probably post more pictures soon. I'm a picture taking maniac lately.

Yeppo my hippo

So We had a doctor's appointment today to check Amiah's weight and she's gaining alot now! She went from 8 pounds 3 ounces to 8 pounds 11 ounces! Yay! I'm pretty excited that she's gaining so much now. The doctor also put some stuff on her cord and made it fall off. It looks weird now but its still healing. In the third picture she's laying next to a full bag of dirty diapers in a smell-free diaper genie trash bag. lol. She poops alot.
