Telling a guy...
Question: How do I tell a guy I've been seeing for a month or so, without scaring him or making him think that now I must be desperate and have immediately started planning an elaborate wedding followed by a honeymoon baby, that since the last time we saw each other my one younger sister got engaged and another announced she's pregnant? Or am I just over analyzing how he might react?

I think you're over-analyzing. Although to be on the safe side, I'd make the announcement to him on two different occasions, and leave off the gush about it. Just tell him nonchalantly, and if he wants it to turn into a conversation, let it. If not, let him have his "Oh, cool", and then switch the subject.

This line of thinking is way more awkward than the actual conversation.
What ever happened to something like "Jesus crazy ass week - one sister gets engaged, another is pregnant . . . WTF is up with this? It was only yesterday they were pulling my hair and making me play dress-up. Weird. Anyway what's up with you?"

Like half of my friends are getting engaged/married/pregnant (my sister is older and has done all 3) and I talk to my boyfriend about it all the time. We have a lot of mutual friends too though, so that helps, but I don't think it would freak him out; you're probably overanalyzing.
But I do that too.

Is there any guy who would hear a woman say that her sisters are engaged and/or pregnant and jump to the conclusion that said woman wants to get married and have babies right now? I could be wrong, but I don't think guys generally do that.

I think Val is right here.
Also, if you are sensitive about bringing it up, I wonder if its because you have mentally imagined marrying this guy or settling down with him.
As a guy I doubt he has thought that way about you(not because there is anything wrong with you, just because men are different), so he is unlikely to be sensitive to the issue.

My new mantra will be that all of my friends are converting to Catholicism.

You're overthinking this one; dropping something like this into conversation shouldn't be a big deal.

If I were RC, I'd be chopping you up with my samurai sword right now. That is NOT cool broski.

I think it's so immature to erase your post when clearly people know what you said.
