Can I Just Complain for a Minute?

So I have a BRU account from when DD was born. The car seat we had with her has expired and our stroller has seen better days, so I started a registry on there to collect travel systems I liked and to keep me from actually buying stuff.
Some how my in-laws found it and they just called DH from their vacation in Hawaii about it. He denied everything, but when we DO tell them (the plan was on Easter Sunday; it's 3 days after our heartbeat appointment) it's going to be nothing but "I knew it!" instead of happy surprise. I'm so irritated. And DH isn't making me feel any better; he's basically just ignoring my text messages right now so I'm just sitting here seething at work.
Plus, there's a girl at work, any time I say anything about not feeling well, her immediate response is "Are you pregnant?!" which is fine, cause we're work friends, but she won't let it go. She keeps telling me she can keep a secret and all this stuff, and it's getting annoying...
There are other people I need tell first, lady!!
And last but not least, the plague is running rampant all over the office, so I can't tell if I feel like crap because I'm building a person or because I have the freakin' flu.
Thank you for listening.

Re: Can I Just Complain for a Minute?
However, I trust my boss to keep it to herself and not spread it around the store.
Why would your in laws be searching your name?? The only registry I have started is Amazon because you can set it to private. Otherwise, I just have things sitting in carts until I actually tell everyone.
I created a BRU registry under a fake name with a fake due date with efforts to keep me from buying everything I see that's baby related. When I'm ready for people to see my personal shopping list, I will create a real one and copy the items from my fake registry using the option provided by BRU.
PCOS baby due October 09, 2016

Beta #2: 74
I told one of my friends I'm pregnant and said please don't tell. Right away she told someone. Not happy. Won't be telling her anything again. Some friend. I also have people guessing and asking me and it's hard to say no. I do not think I am believable.
People keep asking me too (we just got married in November), but it's not the close people who I'll tell first, it's people from work or casual friends, I hate lying as I feel like I'm jinxing the pregnancy (crazy, i know) but if I end up misscarrying I'm not going to want to discuss it with you, irritating work colleague!
I keep thinking how much I hate people knowing I'm pregnant before I'm ready for them to, especially in laws if they can't keep things quiet.
**side note** why do people think it's their business to know as soon as you get a bfp?
I'd also be frustrated with my DH if he was ignoring texts. I think I'did be pretty ticked off if I was in your position.
But seriously. You were in the circle of trust!
(She's really not bad at all, just enthusiastic. She's already talking about coming to help when baby arrives like she did with her other grandchildren, all the way across the country, and she's sufficiently down to earth and reasonable, so her presence might actually be helpful, but that's another post.)
That being said, I turned a lighter shade of green in open court on Friday and almost passed out, so at least one judge, a group of bailiffs, one co-worker, and a client and his family know that I am expecting.
