Thanks for asking! (Sorry, this turned long)
It was great. My parents were completely shocked because they knew we were going to an RE and I had made up the excuse that I had a cyst that was putting treatment on pause. Everyone else knew we were having problems (thanks to my mothers big mouth) so they were always waiting for us to pop up with an announcement but were still surprised. I got everyones reaction on film which will be awesome to show Pumpkin when they get older. I was just going to tell my parents, grandparents and one aunt but my mother wanted to call and tell everyone so we sat on speakerphone with people all across the country on Friday night. It is still not on facebook though.
I have to say, I used to think I would love getting all this attention but I am so over it. I am starting to feel like I did during wedding events where all the fuss is making me feel self conscience. I have some friends I was going to tell in person in 4 weeks but now I am not sure if I want to or just let them find out on facebook.
All in all, it is nice not to have to hide it anymore. I can call and complain and ask questions if I need too.

Sorry, I was kind of over talking about me after this weekend so I wanted to hear about you. Next time I will hog the conversation.

That's ok. I had no idea that you were smothered this weekend. It was nice talking about my photography stuff with someone who had an opinion. Drew just keeps saying, "I don't care".

I think it's adorable you parents called everyone on speaker phone with you to tell them! It's really great that they're so excited, even if it means you have you talk about yourself a lot more.
I'm still sooo happy for you guys!!!!
