Day 7- photo that makes me happy

This one is a hard topic to me. I have so many photos that bring me happiness... most importantly the pictures of my son from birth to currently, but in respect to others I won't show those here. I love to be respectful of others and know when I suffered primary infertility it kind of stung seeing children and I don't want to hurt any one here. That's why I have two blogs - one for my family and one for my infertility. Although I do want to start bringing photography into this blog since I haven't yet and that's where I'll start today! So... a photo that makes me happy... well, you're in luck - you get TWO!!








Okay we'll start with the obvious question - why "breathtaking photography" as my watermark? I have yet to claim that as a business name, since I'm not making money off of my photography so you think I would watermark it with my name but I still LOVE "Breathtaking Photography" as a business name. Does that seem idiotic to do that? I really don't know if I should register my business name when I'm not making a dime from it! I know it would make sense to watermark my name, but I don't want my full name known! Any way... off track.. lol.



Alright, the next question? Where did I take these photos? The octopus was taken at a marine science center in Poulsbo, Washington! This octopus' name is Bob. Don't ask me why they named him that! But Bob loved (or perhaps hated) me taking a lot of photos of him so he was showing off for about 15 minutes!! I kept snapping so many pictures of him while he showed off and this one is the one I love most. Photography in general makes me smile.



The seagull was taken on a boardwalk in Poulsbo, Washington. I love watching seagulls drop clams down below to crack them open. It's so fun trying to get the perfect shot of this happening and crazy to hear how loud of a thump the clams make when they hit the rocks below. Seagulls are so smart!



I could post tons of photos, like I stated photography makes me smile!! I find satisfaction in getting close to things like bees to take a photo!! Don't worry, it was calm since it was getting colder and started to drizzle. I'm not completely insane! Photography is my therapy.

4w1d Update

Pregnancy update: I'm 4w1d so I'm going through all the pregnancy nerves again. We won't be telling family for a while because my last miscarriage was at 6w2d and telling every one that we miscarried is not the highlight of my life. However I'm feeling a little more confident about this pregnancy. Already my pregnancy signs are starting to stick out more - I'm a tad more sensitive and emotional to things (alright, I started bawling last night when my son woke up crying and coughing) and my breasts are really tender. I honestly didn't have many signs last time which led me to wonder if things were progressing, but later was confirmed when I started bleeding. Honestly I'd rather be sick and puking if it meant feeling more comfort in how things are going. I'm still waiting for the referral to the OB/GYN clinic at the Naval hospital and then once that goes through will be scheduling my first appointment. The OB/GYN who dealt with my
miscarriage told me that due to my prior two miscarriages I can get my first ultrasound at 6 weeks and trust me I'm holding them to that.
