... 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.

Manual version to flip baby from breech to head down, Labor, Delivery, Emergency surgery due to cord detaching from placenta, Scary heart issues from losing over 40% of my blood supply, and then a blood transfusion due to the extreme loss of blood.

Don't die Nancy! I swear my germs didn't get ~that~ far on my night out!
Hope you feel better really soon.

Insomnia suuuuuucks. So sorry you are dealing with this, and I wish I could offer you a way to solve it....still struggling with it myself over here. If I hear one more person say "it's getting you prepared for the sleepless nights to come when baby is here" I'll smack someone! Good luck getting some zzzzzz's.
Oh no Nancy -- please please take care of yourself -- or better yet make sure your honey does --if I lived near I'd bring you soup...even if you didn't want it.
XO
So for now, virtual soup.
XO

Ugg, hope you feel better ASAP!
Sorry you don't feel good and can't sleep. Less activity? A couple of days of R&R? Hope you feel better. Don't die...
Oh, Nancy. That's awful. I hope you'll be able to get some rest soon.
Ugh sorry you are so sick! I HATE being sick more than ANYTHING!
Hope you are feeling better soon! :)
I hope you feel better soon and are able to get some sleep. (((hugs)))
~hugs~ Soon... very soon!
Then you can give him kisses and be begging for his insomnia to end :)
You know.. everyday I see a new message I come here and am waiting for the.. "One the way to the hospital" post..... So excited for ya!
Feel better soon!
Get feeling better girlie - sorry you're sick.
I'm so sorry hon. I know that you are probably trying all the usual remedies, but I'll add a couple in the hopes that you can try them.
Lavender.
Pillow under your knees.
Chamomile or sleepytime tea.
Soft music.
get better soon!
Sorry you're feeling so crummy! It must be really bad if you haven't even come online to moderate comments. I'll make you some turkey soup so you can get some sleep.
Ugh, hope you feel better soon!
That sucks. I don't know how you feel about meds while pregnant, but you can take Unisom sleeptabs (not gels) -- they are class A, meaning considered totally safe.
I have had a cold for weeks, and it BLOWS. I hope to be on the mend soon. I wish I could guzzle Robitussin. Or, like, bourbon. Hang in there. :)
i'm so sorry Nancy. Get well soon.
((((((((((HUGS))))))))
I hope you're feeling better today. Hopefully hubby is taking care of you and you're able to get lots of rest!!
Oh no! I hope you get to feeling better, Nancy!
