  • i LOVE your idea!

    When my kids dad and I told his mom she offered to pay for an abortion on my first and then on my 2nd said "you're actually keeping that thing? how do you know its yours?"

    My mom was upset because I was the only child going places and she thought having a child would affect me, (which it didnt) then was happy about my 2nd.

  • I was never able to wait to tell anyone. I blurted out "I'm pregnant!" both times.

    DH on the other hand was a bit more creative. He told his family that he broke my typewriter. When they would give him a confused look, he'd tell them I was missing a period.

  • sorry to hear about the in-law :(

    i am nervouse about my mother inlaw because she has voiced several several times that shes not ready to be a grandmother because shes to young :/ - but were not going to let it stop us from being happy! :)

    But i know that my parents and father in law will be happy for us... im sure they will be nervous as we are the first kids to have a baby and thats a little scary but i know that my mom especially will be extactic and start buying things left and right... just like she did for my wedding and is doing now for my sisters wedding!! guess i will have an 11 month old at my sisters wedding!! :) lol

  • I just told them. I was so excited I couldn't wait to do anything creative! My first was the first grandbaby on my side. My 4th was my husband's first and my husband is the only boy from his family (3 sisters) - so it was a big big deal.
