woah - big news!

So I was scheduled for a follow up MRI today at noon, and since my husband and I are trying to conceive they said I had to have a negative pregnancy blood test before I could have my MRI done.  

They were supposed to call me this morning at 8 to tell me, but they didn't so I called over at 10am thinking well, if they didn't call then I can probably go ahead and get my MRI.

WRONG! My pregnancy test came back positive!  I told the nurse - am I supposed to do something now?!

Hey, my endocrinologist's first name is Konstantine.  He goes by -- ready for this? -- Stan.

I keep trying to get people to use Ezekiel, & call the little one Zeke for short.  I also suggest Sarah for girls, as that was my mother's name.

Alexandra?

Oh, look!  Can't believe I found this, and surely can't believe that it's one of a dozen or more such sites.  http://www.babynameworld.com/greek-p-1.asp

What wonderful news for you and your husband (or should I call him "The Golden Shot"?)

I am so thrilled for you and now you have something so special to focus on and I hope that your MS can take a real rest on the back burner and that you remain fit, healthy and well.
This is a blessing to celebrate.

With love and many congratulations

I think this might be the best reason I have heard for an MRI getting canceled!  Cingrats!

Thanks everybody!

I'm not sure I've totally gotten used to the idea yet, but we're super excited.

Hmmm, names are slightly complicated.  My husband is Greek, so finding Greek names that sound good in English and are not intimidating to say and spell is challenging!

Congrats.

What a story you will have to tell family and friends and even baby-to-be someday when you say how you found out you were pregnant.  It is not the usual home test scenario.  

Breath deep and walk confidentaly into this new adventure in your life.

When I read your post title, I just *knew* what you were going to say!

What a great reason to put off an MRI. What you're supposed to do now is celebrate. Call your neuro and let him or her know. You can be monitored and otherwise tested without getting the MRI. Besides, I'm betting you've just gotten a long reprieve from MS.

Congrats!
