... 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.

Hope all goes well with your scan! Good luck!!
Good luck at your scan! You're not back to work yet, are you? They called you in to move your stuff? LOL, I guess I wouldn't want co-workers moving my things for me either.
PS, on my post, you said you couldn't remember how we knew each other... I met you on the boards and my screen name is "happychic22". :)
Good luck at the scan. i hate office moves
Best of luck with the scan and the moving. I had to move to a new office 3 years ago, and it sucked. I love my new office, but the process was a fiasco.
Good luck. Hopefully your results will be definitive. I just got my confirmation call for getting my gallbladder out on Friday the 13th. Lucky me.
I hope the scan went well!
Good luck with both!!
good luck with the gall bladder. it really is ~minor~ surgery but i have an anesthesia allergy which is what kept me in the hospital so long. awesome! feeling a lot better w/o my gall bladder than with it though! keep me posted!
Good luck with the gallbladder scan. I hope that they are able to give you some answers!
are you home yet????
Thinking of you.
xo
Good luck!!!
good luck with the scan!
Moving sucks- no matter if it's at work or at home!
Good luck with your scan, I hope they don't find anything serious.
I hate packing up my cube. I've moved desks 5 times in the last 3 years and now I refuse to move!
Are you back to work yet? I go back in 12 more business days...so depressing.
I hope both the scan and moving went well!
I hope your scan goes well! No drama, Nancy.
Sorry about moving cubes. Are you moving up? Closer to a window? Closer to the bathroom?
Both of those sound like SO much FUN!
(Hope they weren't too bad)
Hey you. Just checking in ... hope your scan went ok. Thinking of you.
xo
*cheep* *cheep*
That's a cricket cheeping. What's new, Nancy?
Good luck on your scan and boo for having to move cubes after 12 years...what's up with that? Don't they know you're settled in?
Have you seen Office Space? Make sure they don't move you to the basement & take away your stapler! LOL!
How did your scan go? Update already! My mom & sis have both had their GBs out & both felt MUCH better after!
knock knock, anyone there? So, how did it go?
I hope you're well Nancy -- haven't heard from you in a few days -- I'm having Nancy withdrawal!
XO
Pam
How did it go? Hope all is well...
You know better than to leave us hanging here...just post a "Hello I am here but really busy" message and we will not bother you again...
You know, this is a helluva way to get me to buy a plane ticket to come and see if you are ok.
I will, you know.
