Have I gotten any new readers since the last time I asked for URLs to put in my google reader? I strictly (well, almost) read blogs from my reader, so if you aren't there, I'm not reading you. You should know if I read you because I do comment, although I don't comment on every post.
So, if you aren't and want to be, or if you aren't sure you are and want to be, leave your URL in the comments of this post and I'll get you on my regular reading list.
Thanks mucho!
... Once (and still) Infertile, but still Schnarky as hell. This blog is dedicated to the daily ramblings from the mind of Nancy. It isn't about anything profound in the grand scheme of things, but it ~is~ about things in my life, schnarkiness always included. I have a second blog, listed in my profile, but the blogs will continue to remain separate.
"I'm aiming for heaven, but I'll probably wind up down in hell"
About Me
- nancy
- I am a 39 year old woman. I am the mother of two beautiful daughters and a handsome son. I am a career woman. As for my TTC world, it certainly doesn't seem like I am "infertile", but I fought for my pregnancies and my TTC/IF history is on the sidebar. I have two blogs, which are both listed in my profile. One focuses on my daily life - including IF, TTC, pregnancy, delivery and even some "children mentioned" posts. The second blog is ~soley~ posts directly about being the mother to my three children.
Belly Pics for #3 only.

I have so few subscribers, it's sad. I'd love to have you as one of them!

I know you read and post on my blog, but I'm not 100% sure if I have ever "offically' given you my link or not. Anyways, here it is
http://taleoftwocoins.blogspot.com/
I think I need to do this too. It would make it easier to read everything.
http://pink-faith.blogspot.com/
Thanks!
You 3 are all in my reader now. (Jen, you were already on it!)
I don't know if I ever got on your reader. I read your blog, but am not very good at blogging myself.
Heather
Heather, I put you in.
This makes me want to make ghost sounds and whisper "I am in your reaaaaaader..."
Don't ask me what exactly constitutes ghost sounds.
I love you IO.
Not sure if I'm in your reader either. You've commented on my blog before, but since I now post so sporadically (and the posts have become woefully lame), who knows? In case you can't sleep at night and need something to help you doze off, here you go:
http://mydustyovaries.blogspot.com
It beats counting sheep or watching paint dry...
Not sure if you've got me yet, so I thought I'd leave it just in case. :)
http://sellcrazysomeplaceelse.blogspot.com

I would love if you read my journey. I just want to let you know I truly enjoy your sense of humor and sarcasm-it makes this journey so much easier!!

Heather
Okee Dokey! I got all the above in. I had half of you already and put a few new ones in. Thanks! I look forward to reading (which I can't do right now as I'm just trying to keep on top of this now, but no time to read.)
Im pretty sure Im not on your reader...I havent been a big commenter, but I do read your blog everyday! I love to see an IFer have a good healthy pregnancy, especially when they've worked so hard at it! Here is my link anyway!
http://thoughtsfromthewannabe.blogspot.com/
Hi:) Im not sure if Im on your reader or not, but your on mine since I read everyday (and your sarcasm cracks me up)..Here's the URL..
http://maiscrazylife.blogspot.com/
Thanks for adding me Nancy. I had a really hard time with Kindergarten, but 1st grade was a much easier progression. Not to mention that I just started working full time and he likes school much better than he liked daycare, so that was nice!!
Ok, so I read you and I think you read me, but can you change your blog setup so that your entire post displays in the reader? Right now it only shows the first few sentences....I can give you the steps if you need...
All the above are in. Thanks!!! (I'll go read the blogs soon)
KimboSue ... I responded to your email about my feed. I do it on purpose. If I leave it all in the reader, people don't have to click on my link to actually read it all and then they are less apt to comment. (i'm a comment whore!)
I've been reading you for quite a while, but only recently started my own blog. In case you want to read here it is.

You probably don't have me. Here you go:
http://7yearsandcounting.blogspot.com/
Thanks!
Got the above in! Thanks again!!!!
Yes, I am a internet-user dumbass, so I am not exactly sure what you mean by URL. Maybe you mean blog? If yes, I dont have one ... (refer to 1st sentenance) Oh well ...... I guess I will just lurk : (
I don't know if we're in there or not. I came over here from Io's.
Since I don't have our reproductive history posted anywhere convenient on our blog-- lesbian couple TTC for 2 1/2 years via IUIs w/meds and monitoring, one IVF each (my partner's was donor for me). One chemical pregnancy. Finally found alloimmunity issue. Now pg after IUI w/injectables + blood thinners. Due in February.
