HUGE CONGRATULATIONS btw XXXXXXXXXXXXX
My husband says im just stringing it out and should just say it as it is but i want it to be remembered

i bet their faces were a picture !!
Used the diary thing, it was ace haha i loved there faces !
Big fat smiles all over, im feeling abit more "real" about it too now they know.
Best thing was, my sister came in after i had told them, and she was telling jokes and i sed oh iv got a good one and just said im having a baby her face was hilarious !
Well my mum just burst out crying and my dad said "really,blimey, nice one, i mean great news congratulations, brilliant"
lol, stunned wasnt in it haha
I was thinking about this, not knocked up yet lol, but I am really nervous about telling my Mum. She keeps telling me I am not allowed to have kids yet cuz she is too young to be a grandma! I am 23 she is 44!
Its a good job I live 300 miles away from her I don't think I would be able to keep it from her for more than a second if I saw her all the time!
Congrats on your news m&k!

I know wot u mean about getting told off, i was scared of telling my Dad, coz even though we r married and have lived together years i was basically telling him id had S.E.X !!
oopps lol
Have stumbled here from TTC forum. After reading all your posts I cannot wait to tell everyone when I finally do get my BFP.
M&K - am loving diary idea!!!!! I can't keep it from my mum but thinking for friends to gather all for dinner or something then just casually chuck scan pics on table to see what they say.
God, not even PG yet and already planning!
