4w1d - telling the parents

so far, we've told my parents. my mum took the news much better than i anticipated. she got it right away from the 'baby on board' car sticky and came over to give me a hug. my dad is slowly getting used to the idea, i think. it's clear he's not thrilled, but i think he's more concerned that we'll be able to have enough money and sort out daycare and all the stuff when the time comes. always worried about me before anything. he's been asking some questions though for the last hour so i think he's working through it in his own time. i'm certain that once this kid shows up, he'll be thrilled. see how i said when and not if? yay optimism!
we'll be going over my my fiance's parent's house this afternoon to tell them. i don't want to tell his brothers yet, but i doubt there's any way around it. i just don't want anyone finding out that doesn't need to know, and his brother knows a lot of our friends back home. if it were about 8 weeks further along, i'd be ok with it, but since it's so early i'll have to swear them all to secrecy.
man, i was so nervous for my parents! my heart was beating so hard. i'm glad it wasn't as bad as i thought it would be.
now all i need to do is carry the kid to term! that's easy, right? hah.
