And forgive me. I recorded sideways and upside down. It's probably horrible to watch, but it's my morning message.
AND DAMN IT. I was going to wish Pam good luck on today's beta on this video. And that is what I forgot to say. So good luck Pam!!!
... 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.

im typing w/ 1 hand b/c i have mason in 1 arm so excuse the no caps & shortcuts-
i love love love videos, your voice is so not what i expected for some reason. so r u going 2 stat doing these every day or just for questions?
*start, that was bugging me. sorry.
yeah, that video made me a little dizzy! The girls are so cute and I don't think your outfit was that strange. Good luck with your appointment!
Interesting shot - I got a little dizzy!!
I hope your appt went well. Hugs Nancy!
Huge smile on my face watching that because you're just so darn cute.
I love your laugh!
"....and now I can't fucking remember..." <------hahaha!
Your girls are just too cute too. Good luck at your interview with your gyno! :) (PS, that's totally how I would dress too).
You are making me dizzy!
Your girls have such attitude - wonder where that comes from!
Hope the appointment goes/went well.
Good luck at your appointment- hope it went well.
I don't think you look strange at all! It's a cute outfit- nothing wrong with getting a little dressed up for your cervical check!
Good luck at your appointment today!
There's nothing odd about your outfit. You see some of the getups I've seen at my OBs office.
Your girls are just to cute!!!
:) I always feel awkward talking to cameras. You make it look more natural.
Anyway - what if you tried to upload it to YouTube so you can upload bigger files?
LOL! The videos were too funny!!! I'm impressed you were even able to figure out how to download the damn thing onto blogger. I'm so tech challenged.
Your daughters are beautiful! It's so nice to read a blog about an infertile woman who beat the odds and ended up on the other side of the freaking rainbow. I needed this today. I've been feeling totally blah about this upcoming IVF cycle. There have been so many BFNs around the blogosphere lately. So, anyway, I'm thrilled to have read your blog. I'm adding you to my blogroll too - thanks for your comment and I'm looking forward to watching your precious babies grow!

Hey, I really hope your interview for not getting cervical cancer went well :)
I second Samantha ... if you upload to YouTube, you can make them longer.
You girls look NAUGHTY together!! Like they are about to totally do something sneaky. xoxox
Nancy,
I can't thank you enough for all the love and support my friend. Thank you so much -- I never would have gotten this far alone -- really...
XO
Pam
Foxy lady ;)
I can't believe you just had a baby -- let alone are a mother of three!
Totally jealous as I'm rocking the Nigella Lawson bod pre-pregnancy -- can't really fathom the after ...eek.
XO
these were great fun to watch!
re: the video size and length of time to upload...i don't know what kind of camera you have, but i was having the same problem with my videos. anything longer than 30-40 seconds took forever. then, i adjusted the setting on the video to make them smaller files (the setting indicated that it would size them appropriately for emailing)and they took way less time to upload. i can upload 2-3 minute videos in only a couple of minutes or so. (i have a canon powershot digital elph, if that matters.)
Ummmm, boobs! You looked adorable. I want that sweater!
I LOVE this. I miss talking to you a lot and this is perfect =)
Hope all goes well!
Hope your appointment went well!
As usual, Ella & Allison are gorgeous! I wasn't sure how you would sound...but its kind of how I thought you would!
(Here from ICLW)
I hope your appointment went well. You have two very beautiful daughters!
You crack me up! Ok.. now I need to put up a video. You have inspired me :)
GREAT outfit BTW....
How did it go?
I'm still just amazed at how great you look! I can't believe you've had three children. Wow!
I hope the appointment went well!!
Oh your girls are gorgeous...and you are too. Hope the biopsy turns out fine.
~ICLW
I love both of your videos! It is fun to be able to put a voice with face and thoughts.
I had the same feeling the first few times I went to my RE - like the way I was dressed was going to influence his decision to give me a baby.
NO BABY FOR YOU!!
(In my best Soup Nazi voice)
lmao - I'm laying down sick watching your video and realized I was looking at you straight because you had your camera sideways.
Nancy...you are too cute!
