Hey everyone, thought I'd let you all know how it went,
Friday night we told my parents. I told my mum that i had a new addition to the spare room and she should go have a look.. (it was a cot)
She came out and said.. "oh thats so cute! .. but what are you going to do with it?"
after a while of her trying to figure it out she burst into tears and cried for a while, then i cried, then dh started to cry because i was crying.. but then she ran down and sat next to me with a MASSIVE smile on her face, gave me a big hug and yelled.. "Im GOING TO BE A GRANDMA!!!"
So.. she was happy. my dad didnt say much but he was happy, and congratulated us.
We told Dh's parents on saturday night. I was going to do it, but then realized.. nope, cant do it, so i gave dh the go-ahead. So he started to talk about mil's best friend whos daughter had just had a baby. He said "so does *** like being a grandmother?.." "yeah coz your going to be grandparents next year"
Bit of a silly way to say it.. but it worked and MIL shouted for joy and said.. "its about time somebody did!" FIL just said "oh" and didnt congratulate us or anything. but I just ignored him and it didnt bother me much..
So thanks for all your help, we are thinking of putting our first ultrasound in everybodies christmas cards to let the rest of the world know.
