DH bought me the Canon Rebel XS digital camera, extra telephoto lens and camera bag!! I LOVE photography and have been wanting a DSLR for years. Ever since we started TTC we said we would buy one of these the minute we found out we were pregnant. Well here we are 2 years later with no pregnancy....so I have been holding off. I'm not sure why I have been torturing myself like that..probably because these cameras are expensive. I would have felt guilty spending money on a "toy", especially when we have to shell out so much money on IF treatments.
DH got a point and shoot digital camera w/ accessories as a graduation gift. Since we already have one he returned everything to Best Buy and put that $250 credit towards this new camera and then worked a bit of overtime and paid for the rest of the camera himself....so sweet!! He said I deserve to have this camera and it's not fair to tie it to getting pregnant since I have no control over that.
I have been playing with the camera like a crazy woman!! DH also signed us up to take a 2 hour class to learn how all the features of the camera work. Once I get familiar with the camera I will post pictures!!

What an awesome toy! I am dying for a really nice, professional camera. Post pics when you can and let us know what you love about it. :)
Jessica that is too funny!! I signed up for the same class. LOL I have been putting off buying the camera for the exact same reasons but DH spent his birthday money on it so that we could buy it. We have some really sweet DHs.
How exciting! I want one!!!
That's awesome! Looking forward to some amazing photos by you! :-)
That's the camera I want!! How awesome of your hubby to get it for you! I actually have an older Rebel that my FIL gave me. I would love to take classes because I have no clue how to use it besides point and shoot. Have fun!
That's so awesome! What a great hubby!
Sooo sweet of him!
Awesome present!! I can't wait to get a camera like that - money is being saved up for one as I type this. :)
how awesome! you're going to LOVE this camera!!!
What an awesome gift. My DH and I have been talking about getting one of these too. We are waiting on it only because of the price. I know how you feel on waiting to buy things because we are waiting to get preggos. Well we finally have to realize that we cannot control when we get pregnant. And letting go of that control is so hard!
we have this exact one an dits the best now i just wanna save money for photoshop and a bigger lense but you will love it!
i wanna take a class too!!!!
Congrats! I look forward to seeing your pics!
I got a Nikon D60 about a year ago and I love my camera....However I really need to take a class because there are so many features I could be using that I dont...Also this year I got an external flash speedlight....because I have found the flash indoors is not very good and wow....its amazing...but I will warn you they are big so when you get it out you look super professional:) Well have fun with your new toy....You deserve it!!!
Jess, where are you in your cycle? I start lupron tomorrow. I LOVE your new camera - I asked for the same one!! I liked your post about med costs. I got lucky this cycle too - our insurance pays for nothing, but I was able to find lupron and PIO and surprisingly my insurance paid for estrace, doxy and medrol. We were both lucky this cycle - hopefully it will continue!
What an awesome hubby! I just love the camera! I'd love to get a great one that takes fast and up-close pics. I always seem to take up-close pics that end up too blurry. Can't wait to see some pics soon!
