Great Granny

I'd been waiting until this appointment to tell my grandmother that I was pregnant. I didn't want to tell her when something bad was more likely to happen because I didn't want her to know if I lost the baby early. Today, I called her and told her. She said "I've been wondering when you were going to tell me!" Apparently my maternal relatives are all psychic when it comes to determining whether or not I'm pregnant. Granny says that she's thought about asking my mother many times when the baby was coming or when I was going to announce it, but she hasn't (she talks to my mother every night). She wondered when I was going to tell my mother. I didn't tell her that I told my mother weeks ago as I didn't want her to be too disappointed that I'd waited this long to tell her. But she's 96 and I didn't want her to have to go through bad news if there was any early on.

So far:

• My mother strongly suspected and wasn't surprised
• My grandmother already knew (she says "I just knew")
• My father said he knew I would have a baby some day because he thought I would make such a great mother and if I never had a baby, I wouldn't be able to fulfill that part of my destiny
• At least my brother was surprised.
