Oh I know! It is the same people that always have something negative to say about just about everything!

For sure. And you already know how they'll react. In those situations I like to thing of a witty/rude come back ahead of time like: "Lucky for you, I'm the parent." or "When you're the one having the kids, you can chose how many and how frequently you have them." or "How about you don't tell me how to live my life and I won't tell you how to live yours." or "Next time I want to have a child I'll be sure to call you first.".

GAH People are annoying!!!

I want to do something cute but not sure what.We did Christmas presents before and I wish I Knew how to post the videos it was great. DS has a big brother shirt from handme down stuff from the in laws, but not sure what size it was. the nephew was always on the smaller side so It is probably too small. We also have a book DS loves to read that talks about a baby brother and DS has it memorized so I thought about having him read it. for them...wearing the shirt...or that may be how to tell non family......

Work iwll know before family. My cousin will be the first to know. She's the only one that knows we are currently trying. I know my family is not happy with her being preg. (excited for her but not happy if that makes sense) I am not sure how my family will react as we still owe money to them (but we are also payign them back monthly) ....but no one in our families has only 1 child and we've made it clear we want more. but I have watched Mom with the little ones of friends of mine and I think she's ready for another baby to be around no matter how much she makes out otherwise!

Ooh, I'm going to steal the "Lucky for you I'm the parent line. My SIL is sooo judgmental about it. She kept making comments with Malia about, how does it feel knowing this is your last? And aren't you glad you're done? And when I told her we probably weren't I got, we'll how is THAT responsible? And 3 kids is enough! Blargh!!! My life!!
