sillygirl -- now that I know more of your values and intentions, I want you to know I will be praying for you too. I thought my parents would flip too! The day I told my sisters they were totally ranking on a cousin who just announced that she was pregnant and not married. I finally said, "just shut up and stop being so judgemental -- I'm pregnant too." They laughed at first thinking it was a joke. My mom had to tell them it was true. Bottom line, they were much more accepting then I ever expected! And they love my son tremendously! They are the aunts and the grandparents. Love and blood run very deep.
As for the baby's father -- wonderful. The best gift you can give your baby is to have a good relationship with his father. He is right, it took two of you to make the baby and it should take two to raise him. I wasn't so lucky -- my baby's father completely left the state. Count your blessings in this too; focusing on the positive can be a great asset right now.
For what it is worth, I agree with Raeanna, tell them in a public place if possible. You are in my thoughts!
