If my DH and I need support I know we can come here. My family and friends are very encouraging. My niece is pregnant and my nephew's new wife is pregnant! I think it's something in the family!!!!! Oh how I want this to work out. Thanks again for the support.

P.S. I think my MIL has the best intentions but she just isn't showing it now. She has no idea we are thinking about having another yet. I think I will tell her when I AM pregnant instead of "incase".

My family seems to have a lot of autoimmune diseases in it tho...on both sides. life threatening allergies, Rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes....
I probably have a bigger chance of passing down the birth defect that runs in my dad's family than I do of giving MS to any potential offspring. (I'd rather my potential kids got the birth defect than MS if they had to inherit something like that from me)
