@rccola1981 How did your announcement to your family go? How'd you tell them?

It went well. We have a weekly family meal with DH's family so when we were at the dinner table I went to take a bite of my taco and DH asked "that's not too spicy for baby is it?" His mom and SIL just kept eating and didn't seem to notice, his brother paused and turned and said "too spicy for what? What'd you say?" Then MIL/SIL had to "prepare us" by telling us all that could go wrong and how sick I'll be... Then we went to my parents' and didn't really know how we wanted to tell them so I just said hi Grandma when my mom answered the door.

Thats kind of a bummer that the ILs felt the need to 'prepare' you...as if anyone can be prepared for that to happen to them. Buzz kill.

How did your momma react?

Very subtle with the IL's announcement...at least your BIL got it! And really? Way to be Debbie Downers and tell you everything that's going to happen (hello...it doesn't work the same way for every woman!). Sheesh!

Was your mom excited when you called her Grandma?

MIL/SIL are just Debbie downers about nearly everything...DH, BIL and I were sitting there cracking jokes about it. My mom did a double take. She and my Dad seem pretty happy. Mom almost posted it to Facebook before I told them we weren't telling everyone yet...My parents work for the health system where we are going for all of our appointments, my mom might be taking her break to see the ultrasound pictures before we leave for our trip.
