Telling All

Well, telling the parentals was not near as bad as I expected. The two sets reacted as I said as being excited for the baby and accepting of our decision. The third set reacted a lot better than I thought. Very calm, quiet, and letting us know to check all our options before making any final decisions; I could tell that one of them really wanted to say something, though, and she ended up leaving the room very quickly after a few minutes. I was surprised to find that the set that's the most outspoken is the one that not only was the quietest in response but also the most scared because I'm in a different country. I thought about it, though, and it really wouldn't be any different than if I lived on the other side of the States from them and there were no family nearby; they'd still worry about someone being there to take care of me. In the meantime, a couple family members are contemplating flying over here around the time of the birth to help out. That would be awesome.
