Talking I can't make Thanksgiving dinner this year! (Some good news)

Well, first off, I am nearly one year out since my second HiCy treatment and I'm doing VERY well. I have not had any exacerbations at all...which is a HUGE improvement over having one every 2 months as I was prior to the HiCy.

And it looks like I definitely won't have an exacerbation for the next, oh, 7 months or so...

Tee hee. I haven't stopped giggling since March 15th....

I am officially 10 weeks pregnant as of today. Estimated due date of....Thanksgiving, November 25, 2010!

I guess I will probably not be hosting the big turkey dinner this year. Tee hee. (See, there's that giggle again!)

Anyhow, just wanted to share the news.

I have "seen" the baby twice now and she (wishful thinking! ha) has a strong heartbeat and all is well.

I'm feeling really good overall and am just excited as can be. Oh, I will say that pregnancy fatigue is strikingly similar to MS fatigue! Thankfully, that has actually started to pass this past week or so.

Woo hoo! Congratulations!

This has to be the best news I've heard in a while. Yay! I just love new babies and can't wait to be a NeuroTalk aunty again.

I hope you get all of the advantages of pregancy, especially the being free of MS symptoms ones.... and I hope you get none of the yucky ones like morning sickness, although I daresay you're just about through that stage anyway.

Do keep us up to date.... u/s pictures, blogs, etc

Good timing, Keri!!! TeeHee!!!

So glad you are doing good after your 2nd treatment.

I hope the pregnancy fatigue soon turns into the "nesting" mode where you just keep cleaning and have lots of energy!

Yay!! Congratulations!!!!!! So much great news, you made me smile this morning!

You know if that baby wants to come three days early that would be my daughters birthday. My hubby's birthday is the 18th. But I had great luck with being due the Monday after Thanksgiving, my daughter was born exactly one week early and we got to go home on Thanksgiving.

We actually had Thanksgiving at our house that year. But I didn't have to lift a finger. I came home from the hospital to a clean house with a turkey in the oven! I'm just saying, if you work it right it could be a really great Thanksgiving without the work.


I can't wait to hear all of the updates on your new little one! I was just missing having a tiny one around, you have great timing!
