I really really did NOT want to tell my in-laws. I told my husband that they are his side of the family so HE needs to tell them because I am happy and want to remain that way. They reacted how we would expect, not well. I am 24 weeks and they are just now starting to come around. Honestly, I just keep a positive home and if they are not going to be positive then they can stay away for now. I email them updates so I do not have to talk to them on the phone. Best wishes mama, I know how you feel! Congrats on the new baby!!
