Update on RedPenguins and pregnancy...
Hi everyone,
Sorry it's been SO long since I've been here. Life has been crazy. Aside from being pregnant, I Worked through the entire pregnancy 45-55 hours a week....so no extra time or energy for much else.
Just wanted to update you though.
Today my daughter was born: Shae Brooklyn Z.  She was born at 1:28pm, 7lbs even, 19.75 inches - after a near perfect pregnancy. NO MS-related complications (up until today when we were discussing my anesthesia options....that was odd and it scared me). She was born via c-section and now we watch closely to see if 1. the epidural will cause a relapse and/or 2. the postpartum period causes a relapse.
I have been in remission since my last dose of HiCy in May 2009....and I hope to continue that way - but we shall see. I'm really frightened right now about a bad relapse, but am hoping that the HiCy remains a strong contingent in my healing and recovery from MS overall. Sometimes I forget I even technically have MS. I guess time will tell. Haven't seen or spoken with neuro since last February, when I went to tell him I was planning on getting pregnant. I may try to see him next month to schedule a MRI before the year's end just to see what's going on up there. We'll see.
Anyhow, I wanted you all to know that I think of you guys often and hope everyone is doing well...
xo,
keri
