Wanting to share our good news!!!

Postby Sweet » Fri 16 Oct 2009 12:05 am

Hehe, some of you have already guessed but thought we would post it here to let you all know! :D :lol:

John and I are expecting our first baby 'Button' in February next year!! We are over the moon and really excited!! 22 weeks today and counting!!! 20 week scan went really well, little one just didn't keep still!! LOL!! We have decided to be on 'team yellow' as we are looking forward to a surprise on the sex when little one is born! Busy here with lots of baby things and going to a baby show on Saturday at Earls Court. so excited!!

We did think about our history of KC, but have decided that while being high as we have both had grafts, we know that it isn't the end of the world and our baby will have a lot of support. I think I am more worried about giving our child MS as suffering with a relapse at the moment where I have been unable to walk properly for five weeks. It is better though to have one now than when the baby is born I think! Am just down as on sick leave and climbing the walls, I just want to be back in work before I leave for maternity leave!! Work have been lovely though and told me not to worry, but it is just so frustrating when I am not really sick! The pregnancy is going really well, am just having a problem walking which I guess is a slight issue when I am on my feet all day nursing! Oh well :roll:

Hoping that everyone is ok here, will drop in when we get a second!! LOL!!

Loads of love and hugs, Claire and John!! X x X
