Now It's Time to Spread The Love! *UPDATE*

So we have decided to tell my parents tomorrow that they're going to be grandparents again for the tenth time. Lol. I think the novelty wears off after the first dozen but, since I'm the only one of their five kids that they see often and my son is the only grandchild they really know, they'll still be thrilled to hear we're having another. They know about my doctor's appointment, know that they were running some tests, so I told them I wanted to talk to them in person about what the doctor said. They're coming for lunch but I know Mom's worried it's going to be bad news. I think it will be a relief and a pleasant surprise. Then we're going to tell my in-laws on Saturday when they come back from their trip to Ohio. We had discussed holding out until I was more secure and past the first trimester but my four-year-old knows and my cousin is my midwife so, honestly, it can't really stay a secret for long. Then I don't have to worry about slipups anymore. *Shrug* Hopefully tomorrow I also get the call from my doctor about my 48-hour check from Thursday, know if my levels are doubling like they should. He'll probably want to do an aging ultrasound since I missed a period inexplicably my last cycle. If I go by when the cramping started 9DPO, I'm about 3 to 4 weeks pregnant but that's not really something to hang a due date on. He'll want to know a little more definitively... as would I.
A*Update: Second beta came back at 2608 so we have a successful double! Yay! And my parents are thrilled!
