Here's the thread about how we were going to tell our parents:

They all got their onesies in the mail today! DH's grandmother was confused as to why we sent her a onesie but once she read the letter she got excited & cried! (her first great-grandkid)

DH's parents went nutso and were way more excited than we even are!

My parents didn't check their mail today... so I called them... no answer... called again... no answer... called again & my mom answered- my sis had a seizure today & had been to the hospital- told me about how my cousin was going to have a baby boy... yada yada... never checked the mail.

Finally I told her to go check the mail! They were very excited when they got it, though!

That's great that you got such wonderful reactions.... and your parents finally checked their mail!!

I hope your sister is OK. I had epilepsy as a child so I know seizures can be scary.

Yes, she's okay for now. She had them as a kid for about a year and they went away. They came back when she was 19 and now she's 22 & still has them. They're usually brought on because of diet, lack of sleep & (mostly) alcohol in her case, and she doesn't take care of herself. A lot of denial & wanting to be an adult without having the maturity to know when to stop & take care of herself.

Makes me so sad! But at the same time, I can't stop her, so that really stinks.
