Telling our parents

So since we were moving and my MIL works in my lady doctor office, I knew we should tell our rents sooner, rather than later because it was going to come out.  My parents had no clue, but Joni kept asking me all kinds of crazy questions about my "procedure" and should you be lifting that, or take it easy and don't get stressed etc.  I knew something was up and when I had a moment alone, which is few and far between these days, I told Stephen.  He said "she knows"...someone has a big mouth in her office.  We decided to tell our parents and that was it because we were going to be living with them and it'd be hard to hide it. 

Joni and Jim were working outside on that Sunday and so Stephen and I decided to join them.  We started talking and I told Stephen that he was going to be the one to tell them.  He said to them "well we have some news" and pointed at my stomach and said "Shelly and I are going to have a baby".  After lots of tears and hugs by everyone we got to talking about how Joni was pretty sure that we were pregnant, but didn't know 100%.  She said that one of the nurses said that we didn't do one of the procedures 2 weeks before in which she put 2 and 2 together.

Now on to telling my parents.  We would've liked to do it in the same day, but knew Joni knew and didn't know how to make it happen.  Fast forward 24 hours to Monday night.  I told my parents that Stephen was coming over to ask their advice on new house stuff.  Of course they thought the worst, termites, mold, etc.  When Stephen got to the house, we all sat at the kitchen table and he began by telling them what they found on the inspection.  My dad went in about how we should keep the upstairs a/c at a warmer temp since nobody would be up there very often.  I then cut in and said "Well.....in March, we will have a baby upstairs".  My parents were SHOCKED to say the least.  After more tears and hugs, they still were sooooo confused. 

Whew!!  I think we are all still a little in shock of everything.  So far I've been feeling ok.  This week, I have been extremely nauseous and so hopefully this gets better soon.  Next Tuesday, July 23rd is our 7 week appointment and ultrasound.  We plan on telling the rest of our immediate family after week 10 or so to make sure that everything is ok.
