Ok, here's the whole story....

I did end up telling him last night and at first (I guess the shock of the news hit) he asked "Is it mine?"...I was like "What kind of stupid question is that?" and then the 'I'm going to be a daddy' thing set in and he drug me to walmart to start looking at baby stuff and rings. (It was adorable)

So the rest of the plan....

We are getting married in April (been planned for awhile, this is not a shotgun thing) and I'm going to continue in school as long as I can (since I'll probably be due around the first of Nov, I'll have to talk to my professors and see if I can arrange something). The plan is then to move to Mexico in December and then I'll have a little while to raise the baby and become absolutly fluent in Spanish and then the following August I'm starting work on a nursing degree from the Universidad de Veracruz. He's got a house down there and quite a bit of money saved up (at least enough for 6 months and some emergancies without either of us working...)

So, now the only thing left is to....ugh

Tell the parents all of this....
Since they will be in town the weekend we're planning on getting married, I thought about just springing it on them and saying "I know this is a shock, and we really want you to come, but if you don't we understand..." and leaving the Mexico thing out until later. I just don't know what to do. I know my mom's (at least after the initial reaction) going to be fine with it...she just wants me to be happy. My dad is a different story though (he's a bit racist and does not like Ernesto because he's "uneducated" [sorry he had to leave home at age 13 or 14 to start working to support his 11 brothers and sisters...not much of an option.]) So I'm really stuck as to what to tell them and when and how much and if I should start off just telling my mom and telling her not to even tell dad... I've had people tell me to just get married and don't even tell them at first, but I know my mom would be really, really hurt if I didn't give her the chance to go to my wedding...

Ok...another off the wall question for anyone who wants to jump in (especially you Shelia...) but what the heak, this is GC...Do you think it's inappropriate for me to wear letters while I'm pregnant since I'm still undergrad (but technically I'm alum)...like I said we're getting married in April so that would be before I'd start showing anything...
