I really do suck at updating things lately. I find it hard to get the time in for uploading pictures and doing photos and all that fun stuff.
I guess I should start with work is the lamest lamest lamest it has ever been! We now have a zero tolerance swearing policy so I assume I will be jobless in, oh, I don't know, 3 or 4 days... lol. They are cracking down so hard it is to the point where I am to wear long sleeves and pants when corporate comes to hide tattoos yet others dont have too.. whatever.
Ava is great. She is 24 lbs and 27 1/2 inches. She is getting smarter and smarter. She LOVES Shane and she does really cute things like if you saw "Ava Luna!" she looks at you, or if you say "Ava dance dance dance" she kicks her legs and waves her arms around. She is the best thing to ever happen to me.
I have been really down in the dumps though. I feel like I have no friends anymore. I never see anyone. I try and make an effort when I can, but I haven't been too good at that lately. Guess it is a part of growing up, losing people. I just remember my mother always saying "Megan, you have too many friends" and now I can barely get anyone to hang with. I see Vanessa. I see Mario and Danyell at work. I see Josue on occasion. I feel like others have moved on and I am still here. I dunno, wah wah emo emo sob.
I hate that when I blog I turn into an emo kid. Anywho, David finished his fire academy for Johnston and it looks like I get my weekends back now!
I NEED TO DO PHOTOS. I need practice and I need models. I had this awesome idea and I need a lady! Or a man, or both! Let em know if anyone is game. |

So what to say, what to say?
Let's do a quick sum up.
The baby is awesome! She is 4 months old and is 19 pounds 4 ounces, which is really big for her ago, but hell look at the mama, I am not surprised! Our new hurdle is solid foods, she hates them.
The doggie is good, he is starting to really get better at the sprinkle when you pet me deal. I mean come on he is 3, he should be over it!
My car is dead. My NEW car, my $2500 car. The rear cross member (AKA the thing that holds your back tires together) snapped in half while Dez and I were on the highway and cost me $400 bucks to tow it from Groton CT to Johnston RI, HOTTTT!
I bought an SLR camera from Nat and a f/2.8 lens from Amazon and I am starting to really get the hand of it. Digital is so much harder then old school film! I started a flickr sight but I haven't uploaded much. I should do that soon.
My mother taught me how to crochet. I can only do single, double, and triple stitches. My circles blow. LOL.
I found about 10 pairs of knitting needles in my mom's closet. I went on YouTube and learned how to knit. I can only do a knot stitch and a purl. I wish I had more friends that did this locally so they could teach me. David says I am an old lady. Anyone have any tips out in net land, shoot them my way! Jenn (Hutchinson? Kelly? Kelly-Hitchinson? lol) I know I have seen some awesome knitted stuff on my friends page that you have done. Any tips?
David is good. He finally left wal-mart and got a job as an EMT Cardiac. It is better money and he likes the job a lot.
Lastly, my own job totally screwed me by taking away all my commission. So they made up for it by giving me an hourly raise. JEEZ thanks TruGreen, you took away $200-$300 a WEEK in commission but spotted me an extra dollar an hour. How can I ever thank you? Douchbags!
BTW Happy birthday Shale! |

I just posted a bunch of stuff on ebay,
My signed Jesus Christ Superstar poster
My Peter Steele Autograph
2 MAC pigment, full sized
A Bunch of my "club" clothes that I don't wear anymore.
Let hope it all sells cause if it does I will have enough money for my SLR! |

So, I put up a listing of two MAC sample pigments (keep in mind I used to buy MAC samples ALL THE FUCKING TIME) on Ebay and Ebay took them down! They said I can not sell replicas of trade mark products! I wasn’t selling replicas you dip shits I was selling samples! So, I relisted but didn’t put the word MAC anywhere on the auction. I listed them as FROZEN WHITE/DARK SOUL pigments... HA HA HA you fuckers! I figure the people searching for MAC should know they are MAC, even if the word MAC isn’t in the listing, just by the colors. Take that Ebay!
Anyway, for those of you on my list that are MAC whores such as me, I bought brand new jars of frozen white and dark soul and am selling off samples, or am willing to trade or sell them off cheap to friends. They are on Ebay for 5.99 for the 2, but if you want one or the other we can work a deal. I figure it will be a good way to pass time and/or make a few bucks. Let me know if anyone wants one. |

For all my photo-friends out there...
I want a digital SLR so bad I can taste it.
Any suggestions on which ones are best and where to get one?
I favor Canon and pretty much hate Nikon. |

All work and no play
I can not believe that I have been laid off now since November 15th and I go back to work on Monday already. I really don't want to, but I have to in order to help support the house hold. It is going to be so weird. My days now revolve around the baby and I like it. I like that I wake up to her smiling at me every morning and that I get to spend the whole day with her. I love when she sees me and kicks her feet and coos. Now my new schedule will be to get up, feed her, change her, get her dressed, get me dressed, pack up my stuff, pack up her stuff, and drop her off at Lana's for 1:30. David will pick her up at 3:30, I will get home for 9:30 and that only leaves me a few hours in the morning and few hours at night to spend time with her. It is going to be so hard to drag myself to work every day.
This week, being my last week of freedom, I am trying to get everything in order in the house, spend as much time with the baby as I can, and spend as much time with friends as I can too. So for all of you who want to see me/her/us, now is your last chance (except on weekends of course). |

ouchie
So I was sick all last week and now I am finally feeling beter from that and got hit with a stomach bug... yuck.
I think I am going to hibernate for the next few days so I can feel better for the weekend.
I go back to work on March 17th. It is going to suck so bad. I have been at home now or 4 months and I hate the thought of leaving the baby for 8 hours day. The good thing is I won' go in until 2pm and David is getting out at 3pm so my sister said she will watch the baby from 1:30 to 3:30 so I don't have to put her in a dare care or anything. I knw she will be in good hands, I just wish I was loaded so I coulld stay home with her, but I have to pay the bills.
Eh, time for round 14 in the bathroom.... |

Ava got her first set of shots today. I really didn't want to take her. She was her happy smiley self and then he stuck her with 3 needles and she WAILED. Now whenever her eyes are open she is sad and cranky. I gave her some tylenol. I hope she doesn't get a fever. Poor thing.
In other news I did the DUMBEST thing ever yesterday and placed a laundry basket on my heater and it melted all over. Took hours to clean. My brother in law had to come and take it apart and clean out the inside. I'm a dumb ass. I also melted plastic all over the baby's clothes. Thank God it didn't get on all of them.
Lesson learned... Hot Heater + Plastic Basket = Disaster! |

So Saturday David treated me to a surprise stress free relaxing Megan day. It started out with us dropping Ava off at my sister's for her to baby sit and then we went out to breakfast. After breakfast we went to black light mini golf. I LOVE mini glof but god do I suck at it! After getting my ass whooped in mini golf he took me for a penidcure and a full set... it was the BEST pedicure I have ever had. That little asian girl worked it! After that we got pizza, and then went to the MAC counter at Macy's where I picked out foundation, poweder, concealer, and mascara.... mmm I love MAC. I just need to pick up a few more MAC things and I think that my makeup collection will be complete! I have so much make up and I love it!
After all that we came home and gave Ava a bath and then everyone went to sleep.
Last night I went to the Dark Lady for Break It. I had a good time. Dez tried to get me drunk but I resisted! lol. It sucked I still couldn't dance because of the section but I snuck in a dance to S.Adow.
It was good to see friends and bullshit. I talked photo with Nat and Dana. Then Matthew came and I stole him away and shot the shit with him too. I love Matthew.
Today I spent 3 hours at the DMV... damn DMV!
Thanks to everyone who wished me a happy birthday! It has been a good weekend. |

Looks like all wedding plans by June are off. David and I decided we would still need quite a few grand for it. Looks like we are still aiming for end of this year/early next year. Thanks for everyone's input and offers :)
It sucks but I want things to be right and not rushed.
On a good note I got a new car! It is a total nana mobile but that's fine. It runs good. |

Ok guys I need your opinions.
David's mother took us to dinner today and said she was talking to her boss (she works for the Salvation Army) and that when we met him he liked us so much and thinks we are such nice people. He asked her when we were going to get married and she said that we are engaged but that financially we can not afford it right now, especially with the new baby. He said that he would marry us for free on the grounds of the Salvation Army (which mind you are very nice) and that we could have the dining hall that hold 180 people for free. She then said that if we choose to do it she would pay for the catering. If we do decide to do this then we would have to keep the cost down, meaning a very small guest list of about 50-60 people. We would only have to pay for the DJ, find a photographer, the decorations, the cake, my gown, the invitations, the favors, and I decided to only have a maid of honor and a best man. The only hitch to all of this is that we would have to do it by June/July. What do you guys thinks? |

I wish I could stop dreaming. I have always had such vivid dreams but it is more of a problem then people think. I re-live things over and over and over. I have such awful nightmares and I wake up and I am still afraid. I have dreams of friends and family all the time, people I don't talk to anymore, people I haven't thought of in years, and all of the dreams are so haunting. I know so many people that don't dream at all... I wish I was one. |

Ok so as some moms out there might know, you can't always do thing the way you want to when you have a baby. So today, I needed to shower and I put Ava in her swing in the bathroom so I can keep an eye on her while I was showering. She was WIDE awake. I put a mix cd on, like I always do when I shower. I went into the kitchen for a second when I heard Liabach come and said to myself "Oh shit, I forgot this was on the cd, I thought this was a mellow cd. She is gonna flip out!" So I go into the bathroom, and this is what I see...
GO FIGURE IT PUT HER TO SLEEP! |

I miss sleeping 8 hours or more at a time. Shit I would be happy with 5 straight hours. I have a baby night owl lol. So, I finally am feeling better from the section and now I think I am getting a cold. My throat is scratchy, my nose is runny half the time, and I have a wicked headache. I hope it is vicodine with drawl because I was on vikes for 2 weeks and Vanessa seems to think it could be that. I've never been on anything for that long before. Either way, I just hope I don;s pass it to Ava.
Oh, and get this. I only gained 3 lbs during my whole pregnancy and I weighed myself last night and I have lost 36 lbs! So I am 33 lbs less then when I got pregnant. Talk about a weird fucking diet! My fat is definitely shaped different, but there is less of it so if it is a little smooshy it is ok. I wonder how long it will take me to pack it back on... |

So I survived child birth! Let me tell you it was not fun but it was so well worth it. I had a 7 pound 11 ounce baby girl on December 23rd 2007 at 2:41pm that we named Ava Luna Coffey. After 22 hours of labor, she was born by excruciating c-section. I fell into a small bracket of people who's anesthesia wears off half way through so I got to feel them cut the baby out of me, staple me, slice me, and put my organs back where they belong. It was awful, but luckily it hurt enough where I passed out at the end. Other then that the labor wasn't that bad.
When Ava first came out she was breathing too rapid and she had a heart murmur so she spent the first few days in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). It was heart breaking, but finally her breathing slowed down and the murmur went away. She got to come home with me this past thursday. The docs say it was because she as a c-section baby.
Ok, I should wrap this up. I will post more and better pics when I have time to upload em. I'll leave you with these.
She looks a little yellow cause she has a mild case of jaundice.
If anyone wants to stop by gimmie a call or text, I'm home hanging out in bed recuperating. |

OK another update. Yes, I am still pregnant. I am now over a week past due so the doctor has decided for me to go into the hospital tomorrow night (friday) to insert prostan gel into my cervix (sounds yummy eh?) and hopefully that will kick start labor. If that doesn't work she is sending me home and Saturday morning I will be induced using Potocin. I am not looking forward to this at all. Induced labor is supposed to be 10 times as painful as normal labor... lucky me. Also, if it doesn't work or slows down or if the baby reacts badly it is a sure fire c-section. So yeah, Megan can't wait to be a mommy and meet her baby but is really scared. Keep me in your thoughts guys. Call David for updates. I'll text when I can and I hope to see or hear from everyone again... and not croak. |
