Thank God, because we thought they'd be upset.  It went well and they are suprisingly excited!  Whew...now I can sleep tonight without DH freaking out!

    Basically, they treat DH, who's 30 y.o., like he's 3.  They still say "mommy, daddy, milky, blanky" and crap like that to him all of the time.  Ridiculous, I know.  So acknowledging that we have sex (after being together 7 years and married 2 1/2) is out the door.  Plus, I have a year left of school, but baby will be born a month before I graduate, so we're ok.  We just figure they would freak out.  But they actually were happy about it.

    I was worried about my moms reaction, because I am just starting nursing school in the fall, but she took the news quite well!!  I am happy you had a good reaction from the ILs I know that sickly feeling of not knowing how they will take the news!!!  Maybe this will be a step in the direction of no more baby talk to your DH!!  (GL with that!)

    My in laws do the same thing. Every big decision in our life, they have to

    pick apart to make sure he is making a smart decision. Like when we got a puppy last summer. Instead of saying, "Oh how great! What kind of dog are you getting" they immediately replied, "Well, you know puppies are a lot of work, right?"

    Now we are building a house (a much bigger house than what we owned previously) and DH's parents constantly talk about how we are going to afford it. Excuse me but my DH is 30 and I am 27. We are adults, have great jobs, and know what we are doing. We don?t need our parents to second guess every decision we make.

    So I definitely see where you are coming from. I'm a little scared to tell his parents. I just feel like they are going to bring up money and constantly ask, "Are you going to be able to afford a baby and the new house?" Let?s put it this way, we will make it work!!!
