He is just adorable...and very time consuming (as you can tell by the fact that it's taken me 4 weeks to announce his ... |

| Hi Nic I'm so sorry to hear your news...this is something my husband and I went through last year when he received a positive result. It certainly does not rule our lives though. I pump Matt full of vitamins and nag him a lot about being healthy but apart from that our lives are pretty normal. ... |

| Thanks for that Erin, it means a lot. You've probably read on other threads now that I am actually pregnant. 51/2 months actually. Matt and I decided not to have pre-natal testing done which was something we decided before I even fell pregnant. We contemplated a lot of different options and decided... |

I did, however, get a phone call from a very concerned mum and dad the next wanting to make sure that Matt hadn't watched it. My parents have had very little to do with HD (except for Matts testing) and they were qu... |
