Goodbye gallbladder.
It's coming out today. And I ~really~ should not have drank 3 glasses of wine last night. I'm parched and I am not allowed to drink anything. I'm dumb, dumb, dumb. Dumb.
So. I can't believe I fucking missed it, but our lovely chicklet went and got herself pregnant from SEX! (i actually think home depot had something to do with it, but i digress...) Can you believe it? She sure couldn't. You have to go over and while wishing her congrats, read the past week's blogs. She's fucking hilarious. (and very deserving after going through mucho IF shitola.)
(okay pamalama. no pressure, okay? but how cool would it be for you and chicklet to go through this belly plumpin' together?)
... 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.

That is the problem with wine. It always seems like such a good idea at the time . . .
Thinking of you and wishing you a speedy recovery!
Wishing you good luck today! Hopefully this will make you feel better in the long run. Hope it's fast so you get to drink something!
Good luck today! Sorry about the dryness- but I will be thinking about you!
Good luck today. I can not believe how many medical tests/procedures you have had in the past two months. It's crazy. Hope this is it for a while.
Yea, and that's some crazy sh*t about Chicklet. Pretty awesome.
We had sex at Home Depot...
Hope your surgery goes super smooth and you are feeling all better in no time flat!
Good luck today, Nancy!!!
Off to stalk Chicklet's blog. I've certainly read enough comments of hers on your posts to feel like I kind-of sort-of know her!
At this point you are probably out of surgery. I hope it went well and you are able to drink a lot! Of water. Of course.
Wishing you a speedy recovery!
and OMG! rolling at chicklets comment! hahahahaha
Snap. I had wine last night, too.
Good riddance, gallbladder :)
Good luck, Nancy.
J
Good luck with your surgery!!
If I had known all this time that sex at home depot works I would have done that a long time ago!
I'm sure all is done now, but I hope everything went well.
are you home?? How are you?
sending love and healing vibes through these interwebs.
