My wife and I have been married for 6 years, and she is currently 10 weeks pregnant. We were trying to pregnant for 3 out of the 6 years we’ve been married.

I’m excited to be a dad I want to shout it from the rooftops and tell everyone but she feels opposite. She doesn’t want to tell anyone, no gender reveal or baby shower no nothing. I’m kind of hurt by this as my family had taken a lot of loss this past year (my sister committed suicide, my grandpa lost his battle with cancer, my aunt and uncle got into a pretty nasty car accident with their three kids and they all passed away) and it’s like this pregnancy is leading light in this dark cloud but she doesn’t even want our parents to know.

My mother has dreamed about having grandkids and this would be her first but my wife is 100% against telling anyone!

It’s my baby too, I’ve dealt with the ups and downs of the trying to get pregnant world as well; tests being done, examines, medications/vitamins the emotional toll it takes I just want to celebrate it.
