Hi all! @yachee's lovely and talented wife, Leah, was luckily available and willing to do our maternity (and newborn) photos! So here are three 'teasers' she sent me today. I'm 38w1d - better late than never I guess. :) We did them in our Fremont neighborhood where we live - just felt like 'us' and they turned out great - we're super happy and can't wait to see the rest! But for now...

    Pictures came out awesome!

    Married in September 2010, started TTC journey November 2012

    Me-

    7 IUI- 2 CP- 2 BFN

    RPL blood work 12/27, showed a balance translocation in chromosome 11;22  

    Spouse-

    PCOS 4 IUI-4 BFN

    New Plan: Reciprocal IVF, me as carrier wife's eggs. Just went through insurance and received partial approval, so my part will go through my IVF benefits and wife's part will be out of pocket. Now just finalizing finance plans to cover the oop costs. Doctors office is in process of moving to a new building so there are no IVF start ups until March/April 2015.
