I've told a close friend who I had coffee with and our daycare provider (who I hang out with every day... I've been home with Annie for awhile. I'm going back to work for the fall/ winter though. I'm a supply/ substitute teacher)
And a very small online board and a very small section of another online board and here.
My brother and sister in law are just about to adopt a baby (due July 22nd) and they will have a 3 week period after that during which time the birth mother can change her mind about placing her child. I sorta feel like keeping things quiet with my family until after that wait is up. We haven't talked much about telling Jesse's family yet. After the betas come back (blood HCG levels) we'll probably tell them and then go from there.
Oh, and we've told our midwife because they go fast and we LOVE our midwife!

even though i promised myself i wouldn't.
I'm so sorry about your family's reaction. We had lots of mixed feelings from family along the way, but by the time we got pregnant with Annie they were pretty much on board--and certainly have been enthusiastic about her. But that initial reaction of "why would you do that?" is still pretty hurtful isn't it?
