Carissa - Congratulations on being an expectant mom! I hope that as you begin this journey, even though parts will be stressful, you will also have some peace knowing that you are, at last, really on the road to starting your family!!!
You're VERY understood here. Eventually, people will get more excited. It's just hard for some at this point. Once you have a picture of your referral, I bet you'll see some family members really get on board when they can "see" their niece/nephew/grandchild/cousin. It will be more real for them.
Try to make it very real for yourself right now - enjoy all the parts of "expecting". Daydream a little about being a mommy, have fun going over baby names and looking for baby things in the store. At some point, you may want to register for baby items in anticipation of showers - it is so much fun!
Good luck. Feel free to come here any time you need to vent or want support. We're very excited for you!!!
