well, they're fine actually, but the telling of them is done. I told them Sunday night, and didn't really break it to them all that gracefully, but in the end, we're all ok. They do, as expected, want us to get married, but I just don't know. I do, we do want to get married, but I'm not sure the shotgun-style is really how I want to remember my special day. Also, since I don't get time off, we'd have to do it on a weekend with no possibility of honeymooning (no thanks) or at Christmas or March break. Christmas, sure, but that's not a tonne of time to plan. March break I'll be 8+ months along, and probably not feeling much like going anywhere. We had planned, loosely, on going away somewhere, and I think we'd like to stick to that. I'll talk to my parents some more, and Grant's parents of course, but I don't want to get married just to be married. That's not the right reason. The baby will still have Grant's last name right away, so it'll just be me doing the catching up. Which is fine.
Anyway, so I'm a little relieved, I still have to tell my sister, I think my mom is going to tell my Grannie, and then there's Grant's family. Wish me luck! It's so different like this than it would be in a couple of years, if we were married and say, working permanent jobs in the same city.
