I know how you feel Poopie! My family is the ones who think no kids are better than having kids and no matter how old your are you are never old enough! When I told my mum with DD she said 'How far gone are you?!' I was so upset, I didn't tell my fam we were trying with her as I didn't want to hear the constant lectures about it! This time I made sure the moment DD was born I was telling EVERYONE what sort of a gap we were wanting so they weren't so shocked. (I wont even go into my dad's reactions with DD, it was so bad this time I decided to do it by email!)

I VERY much doubt this wont be the same for you, I have the worlds most unsupportive family, even though I love them to bits as they do me and they now couldn't imagine life without their greaddaughter.

I'd be sure to make a big fuss about how excited you are and how much it all means to you. Try to be confident so they know just how you feel about it all. I don't like using the words "I'm preg" when telling family, so with the first I put it something like, "we are so happy to be starting a family of our own"

I wish you all the very best. Even if they are a little hessitant, they will be happy, everyone loves to have a baby in the fam, even the boys!!!

Take care
