I’m so nervous to tell our parents 😬😬😬

Stephanie • Fri, Feb 22

I don’t know why I am.

I’m almost 26 years old.

My husband and I both have good jobs.

We aren’t living paycheck to paycheck.

We are doing well overall.

But I’m scared. I’m not really scared that they’ll judge me for being an online college student and having a baby before I graduate, but more scared that they won’t be happy about it.

Our house right now isn’t great but we are renting it for super cheap so we can save to buy a house...if we wanted to live somewhere better we could but we are looking to the future..

Regardless, we are announcing to close friends and family this weekend and I’ve got a lot of emotions. I’m 8 weeks and baby has a strong healthy heartbeat and all my blood work was good.

So this is on the way to my parents in Nebraska who live with my 15 year old sister and my 17 year old brother...I’m gonna be a nervous wreck until I know they got it 😬😬😬

I was so scared to tell my parents as well, not so much his because they’ve been dying for a grand baby but my mum and dad aren’t really the affectionate kind of type. I ended up saying to my little sister “come here I’ll tell you a secret” and told her she was gonna be an Aunty and then she told mum for me hahaha mum said I shouldn’t have been so silly and just say it but they’re both happy for us and mums even been giving me name suggestions and bringing me donuts because that’s my craving lol. It’s so nerve wracking but don’t worry! It’ll all work out! Xxxx

I was scared with my first child cause I was only 19 and not married , just recently had moved in with my now husband that they didnt really approve of at the time lol Even being 26 now I was still worried because they're not really the greatest grandparents of all time , they seem aggravated when I need them to watch my 7 year old, so adding a baby I thought they'd be like "ah great"(sarcastically) But to my surprise my dad seemed very happy , mom not to enthused but she said congratulations lol

I felt that way with my first and I’m pregnant with my second and I’m scared again.. idk I think we probably just really care about what they think.

My parents and my in-laws are the only ones that know right now. I’m scared to let anyone else know 🤦🏼‍♀️
