I was out of town for my little sister's college graduation, so have been a bit missing in action. I told the rest of the relatives about the pregnancy status. The weirdest responses have included:
from my grandmother: "I am so proud of you"- as if pregnancy is an achievement for a resume?
from my aunt: "Where did it happen?" hello, not discussing my sex life, or as the case may have been, my medical procedures
from my 18-year-old clueless cousin: "How can you be pregnant?" Honey, didn't they teach you that one in sex ed?
All of the family is deeply disappointed that we are not finding out the baby's sex (because DH is stubbornly refusing to know and I am reluctantly acquiescing). I am 15 weeks today and still trying to wrap my mind around it all.

Those are some good comments.
I don't want to know the baby's sex either but Matt does.
LOL, that is funny about your 18 year old cousin. Glad you are back!
I could never wait to find out, but I have some friends that did and said it was the best decision they ever made..the last great surprise. They said it made their pregnancy 10 times more exciting. Glad to see you back.
I could never hold out on finding the gender- I think if my hubby had wanted a surprise, I would have booted HIM out of all my scans, so I could know :)

I think I'm going to find out the sex. Everyone says DON'T... but I was never one to do what I was told.
Lol at the responses! I can't believe they would say things like that. Then again, after what I heard this weekend from DH's family...I'm not surprised by anything anymore...
Thanks for your nacomleavemo visit.
Many congrats on your fantastic bfp.
I love the reactions to your news - aren't family funny!
We've told our parents the baby's sex but no one else. Not sure why. Just funny about it.
In the UK it's the done thing NOT to know. It's very rare for people to share that news. Weird.
If your Grandmother has known of your struggles, perhaps she is "proud" that you were able to stick it out, no matter what happened.
I would be proud too. You have endured much.
I am so happy to get to blog about pregnancy, even if you still do hear stupid comments (for whatever reason).
I admire your patience in not finding out. I really don't think I could have waited. But it will be fun to keep the surprise. A word of advice, however, is to look away from the genital area when they do the scan. It was pretty obvious, even to our novice eyes, what "flavor" baby this is!
