Photography

The most exciting thing happened a couple weeks ago! I applied for membership into an international wedding photography association, and to my surprise, I was accepted! I've read that only approximately 5% of applicants get in, so I've been just over the moon about it!

I do wonder why I decided to start a photography business right before IVF...probably not the most reasonable thing to do. So I got everything off the ground for my business - website etc. But when I was contacted to shoot a wedding in the summer of '12, I started getting very nervous. With my unicornuate, I could be put on bedrest very early, and I'll (hopefully) be 4 or 5 months by the summer of next year! So I think I have to slow down with photography until I get my baby.

Here are a few of my favorites from the wedding.

All Booked for Vegas

I just finalized all of the plans for our Vegas IVF trip! I'll be flying out at the end of January with my husband joining me for about half of the trip. It will be an 11 day trip for me. I'm very excited to be transferring blasts this time, and two blasts at that! I have a really good feeling about this cycle!

My new doctor tested my natural killer cells recently, which I assumed wouldn't be activated...and they kind-of weren't? During the normal test, my nk cells were deactivated, but under the stress test they became activated. I'll be doing 2 intralipid infusions, just in case the nk cells are attacking my embryos after transfer. I certainly wasn't expecting that, but at least it's easily fixable.
