 I told my parents today. It wasn't how I planned or envisioned doing it, but it worked and they took the news VERY well!  My dad and I were chit chatting on the phone and he said he finally almost feels like a grandfather now and I told him another isn't far off. And he asked what I meant, if I needed to tell him something. I paused and he knew! He is in shock. He then had my mom call me after he picked her up from work. She's SOOO excited! Her voice is all high and squeally! I'm so glad they took it so well! I feel soooo much better now! 

I'm glad your parents took it so well.  :)

I've been waiting to tell my family until my sister had her baby- and she finally did today (at 42 and 2!!!!!!!!!!).  I think I'm going to wait to visit until next week, so I'll tell them all then...

Last time, when I posted on facebook I said, "To the tune of 'Chapel of Love': Going to the midwife and we're gonna have a ba-a-aby, Going to the midwife and we're gonna have a ba-a-aby, Oooh, I really love him and we're gonna have a ba-a-aby, Goin to the midwife in MARCH!" How can I top that for the facebook peeps this time around?

I do love the bun in the oven picture idea. Very cool. We're actually not telling until I'm showing, so maybe I'll just post pics of my belly. That seems so boring, though.
