... 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.

Wow! I remember buying 34D nursing bras. They looked awesome at that size. Enjoy!!!!
Got ya beat Nancy~...with 34 DD's!! :)
Hey have you tried the bra at VS with the memory foam for the cup? It's the best thing ever and make your boobs look even better.
The last few months I've had a few people ask me if I've gotten a boob job!
Your great!
heh. i own a 'e' nursing bra. (it's a demi-cup & just a bit too big, but still!)
i prefer the 34d i used to be- these puppies can be too big some days!
Yeah, yeah. I am rocking 38G's while breastfeeding. Can you say backache?
I have you beat pre-pregnancy as well as post pregnancy... How I wish I was that size again!
Haha! Nice work boobies!!
I think that 34D is the perfect size actually. I won't say what I am (because you will vomit) but I can't actually find a bra at VS. My rib cage is too small for my bust. I'm too big, like freak show big :( When I was nursing Chicken's head was like three times smaller than my boobs. M could have sold tickets!
Glad you love them.
Some day, I'm going to love mine too.
I would love to be able to walk into VS and find a bra that fits and offers what I need. Unfortunately, they don't carry cup sizes big enough and most US bra makers don't either. I think all of mine are UK brands - oh but the nursing bras 36L were australian. The titty-fairy hit me too many times!
Can I trade? Pretty please? I am really, really tired of wearing a 38K (or L depending on the brand).
I loved my 32 C's...then infertility brought 34 D -- and now?
God knows.
I'm frightened to know the aftermath..
XO
That's the perfect size! I'm only that big while nursing. As soon as the baby is done with them they go back to my tiny little 32 B. Poor hubby ;)
My 32B's are really self conscious right now ;)
I just read your post about ppl one uping you, so I had to see- and boy did I get a lesson.(Now I want to see Poltzie's boobs, I'll buy a ticket ::wink::.) I had no idea bra sizes went up that high. G? K?? L for hell sakes!!?!
Goes to show what I don't know.
Then again I though having sex got you pregnant.
I was thinking about my boobs just yesterday. When I renew my boobs, I'm going to go smaller, I feel too big, Yours look great.
Go boobies!
I am a 36B. Blah. I suck.
They were big before but never spectacular but now that I've breast fed my baby? I'm wearing about a 38L. L for LONG.
Fuck I need some work done.
Amen Tara! That is what I meant, when I said some day I'll be happy with mine. I need some serious work too.
I really, really just want to get them all taken off and get some nice fake jobbies about Nancy's size. Except I'm a 36. So see, Nancy, I'm not trying to burst your bubble. I just want your "perfect" boobs too.
I've never known what a D looked like on my, not even pregnant & nursing. Boo my boobies, hooray for yours!
Nancy I have implants too, and I'm also a 34D...go us with our beautiful enhanced boobies!
