We Told H's family about the baby last night
To preface this I must explain DH's family situation a
bit cause it is kind of confusing. DH's parents got divorced when DH
was 5 or 6. His dad remarried and his mom was engaged to be remarried,
but she died when he was 11. The man his mom was engaged to (Randy)
stayed really close with DH after his mom's death and is essentially
like a second father now.
I got to tell DH's dad and step-mom. I called to thank them for the flowers they sent me for my birthday and his dad was so excited. When he told my MIL (I consider her my MIL) I heard her scream in the background. She can't wait to find out what we are having so she can start shopping. They are both just totally thrilled. His dad now wants us to move to Texas. They are also both convinced that it is going to be a girl (they already have a grandson). I could tell they were both grinning ear to ear on the phone.
DH told Randy and he was so excited also. Apparently when he told his wife she also screamed because she is so excited. They kept telling both of us how we are going to be great parents and they are so thrilled to have another grandbaby.
Anyway it felt really good to finally tell someone and it makes it feel even more real now.

Re: We Told H's family about the baby last night
Aw, that's great news.
I'm glad they were so positive. I was hesitant when I read the post title, just cuz not all parents are positive.
My Profile
Oh C that's great news! I'm so happy that your H is still close to his step-father and that he and his wife are so thrilled for you! I'm sure you'll be FANTASTIC parents.
So, are you considering TX??
I don't know why, but I want to hear or see a heartbeat before I put up a ticker. Superstitious I guess. For all interested though I will be 9 weeks tomorrow.
See you should just move to Denver then since you love it and I already live here and love it.
I think part of the problem with moving to Ft Worth is being too close to H's family. I love them, but in a way they don't respect that DH and I are not Christian. They send us very religious cards, always say Christian prayers for meals, etc. I think it would be too much for me and I really don't think they would respect our wishes as far as raising our child knowing about Judaism and Buddhism.
