... 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.

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.

Holy mother of mary you look fantastic!!
Dude, you should not look that good after, what, 2 weeks? And after 3 kids? You should be packing at least 20 extra pounds! Unfair!
Actually, I looked pretty good a couple weeks after the baby came, and for the first year, until I stopped nursing. Then my metabolism went on strike and I gained back about 5-7 pounds (which is a lot when you're 5'1").
Anyway, looking hot already!
Oh Nancy -- no kidding -- you have an enviable body woman...talk about bouncing back...
Sorry to hear you're sick -- take care of yourself...
Love,
Pam
Good Lord, girl! I would saw off one of my legs to have a body like that. Geezus. :-)
You don't even look like you had a baby! Wow!
I hope you feel better. It's totally not fair that you are sick!
Ok, so how in hell do you look like this after JUST having a baby 2 weeks ago????? ugh. I am truly jealous!!!!
Heather
Look at you all skinny already! You look great.
Tiny!
If I am ever blessed with a baby, I hope to follow in your foot steps! Holy cow! I can't believe how little you are already. Is it just falling off naturally or are you watching what you eat? Tell us the secret!:)
Wow, you look great for just having Karl 2 weeks ago!
skinny bitch.....:)
You just love to make the rest of us jealous huh? Good for you!!
You look freaking fantastic! Bitch... :)
Sorry you are sick! That is no fun! I hope you get to feeling better soon.
OK I'm speechless!
are you fucking kidding me? I looked damn good after the first, not quite so good after the second but after the third??????
I still love you and all but jeez louise!! how can you look so hot?
You look great! I hope you are feeling better.
Congrats on your new babe by the way! I don't believe I have commented to you before! But man, I had to say you look awesome! I don't look that good after being 3.5 months out from my 3rd little one's birth! Hope you are getting a bit of rest and that you fight off whatever you may be getting!
Megan
You look awesome! I can't believe you've had 3 kids. 1 only a week ago!
OMG after 2 weeks you are SMOKIN HOT!!! I'm so jealous!
Holy fucking shit woman!!!! You look better 2 weeks after the birth of your third child than I did before I ever even got pregnant!!! So unfair! ;o)
(and if I ended up with any extra $$$ of course you could borrow it! I would just need it back so I could stay out on my leave, lol!)
You bitch. Did you go to Home Depot and have all the fat removed with their super sonic Fat Sucker 2000?
Damn, girl! You are freakin' hot! I would never have guessed you would have had a baby just weeks ago - holy crapola! XOXO
Ugh... You and your skinny body and nice big boobs. That's just wrong.
:)
Seriously... you look friggin awesome! Yay go you!
Daaaaaamn, girl. You're looking fine.
Rock on!! You look fantastic!!
I hope you are feeling better as well.
You look great....you suck. ;P
No ways! How is it possible that you look so freaking amazing just 2 weeks after the birth of your 3rd kid??? No fair ;)

Here's the answer, ladies: not only is she nursing a baby, but she's pumping enough for two more babies. Not to mention, when you're sick, one of the unintentional side effects is looking hot.
Wow!! You look great, can't believe you've just had a baby.
Dang lady, you look great!!
Okay, so it's NOT just celebrities...you look awesome!!!
Thanks for bursting my bubbly Mol - I would rather just think I'm a rock star.
BUT, then again, I think I can just say that's not it, because I did the same thing with my last 2 babies and I didn't lose so much weight so quickly. What REALLY is the reason was most of my weight gain was fluid and I only gained 15ish pounds aside from that.
Being sick has nothing to do with it. I've only been sick for 2 days.
I was gonna say....if that's you at 40 weeks, I am jealous! :)
WTF? That is SOOOO just not fair. I didn't look that good before I got pregnant - the FIRST time!
You're a hottie!
You are going to set a land speed record for deflation, my dear.
:)
J
Wow, you are wasting away to nothing! ;) You look amazing.
I dropped weight like mad after Cullen was born...I think the lowest I hit was 113 (which is TINY for me) around a month PP, but he was my first....I hope I can still do that after the 3rd...You look great hun!
Are those, like, normal non-maternity jeans??? That is SO not fair! You look simply amazing!
one word...jealous!
Cow! in a nice way of course coming from me, but nonetheless, bloody cow with a fitttt bod, WOW, you thin COW!
Love you :)
These pictures are so not craptastic that I had to show them to my husband. "Look...this is my schnarky-bloggy-buddy. She just gave birth a few days ago (check blog and correct myself) or 12 days ago." The husband agrees you look hot.
Damn, you look great!
I'm wearing all your extra weight. And my baby's 9 months old. And the first one to come out of my body. And I am breastfeeding. A lot.
