I have also really been missing my mom and dad..seems like just yesterday we were telling them WE were expecting her...where does the time go?

Congrats to you & your family. My Mom never kept our secret when we told her, but then I didn't either. I hope typing it here will help.

Hey Deek, don't you mean you have to tell EVERYONE! Congratulations - now if it would only happen to me ...

Congratulations! I'm looking forward to that news, someday. My oldest daughter is going to be 15 in a few weeks, so it should be a long time yet, but I can't wait!

I'm 44 and don't want anymore of my own babies. That sounds too much like work, now!

Congrats to the whole family!
Our family has gone through this same thing twice now(meaning keeping it a secret for a short while) but, it was because of past miscarriages and medical reasons. My older DB and DSIl adopted in november after being married 17 years and became pregnant finally about a month later. My younger DB and DSIl are 14 weeks pregnant with twins now and we have know from the beginning but, they have had a history of miscarriages and wanted to make sure things were going to be OK this time and so far it has gone fine. They have been married 10 years.

Dawn, I'm in the same boat with my 14 yr-old dd... but although I'm 42, I'm having baby lust really bad! LOL I can tell right now that I will be one of those annoying Grams... babysitting, spoiling, etc!
