You know your mum is happy about the pg when...

I was 20 when I found out I was pregnant with jayvan, and CRAPPING myself at telling Mum even though we had been together for 4 years, bought a house together etc...
As soon as we told her she offered... or maybe demanded is a better word? XD... that she'd babysit ><;;

Wow you girls are so lucky.....

When i told my mum i was preg all i got back was "so when are you having an abortion"

She loves them now though

My Mum was very excited - I believe the words "about time" where a part of the first conversation! We waited until about 9 weeks to tell any beyond immediate family and close friends. I've never seen her smile the way she did when she first held her granddaughter.

My MIL was also very excited, but waaaay too excited, in a kind of 'The Hand That Rocks The Cradle' fashion. It's a fine line between enthusiasm and manic obsession.
