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?!

Guess you'll just have to follow up next summer, eh?  Congratulations and may this lead to many symptom free months as well as a very nice prize package at the end :)

I suggest you have your husband tap on your belly and then cup his hands around his mouth and say into your navel, "HEY! What ya doin' in there?"  It's good training for the little tike in how to keep a connection to Mom once (s)he's out and YOU try to settle in someplace without being noticed (like, say the shower).

Congratulations to you both on your successful pursuit.  Enjoy!!

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!

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.

Our heartiest congratulations, Mom!  We will ask God to grant you safety, peace, and a lifetime of happy memories.

So, have you picked names yet?

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!

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

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
