[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 372881, member: 1169"] Jones, Thank you so much for your concern about telling your sister. I am the infertile one in our family. The pain of hearing about my sister and sister-in-laws easy conceptions still twinges. And the guilt I felt for not being able to be happy for them made it worse. If you can, please tell her in private when she will have time to process before she needs to put on her 'game face'. This one will be hard on her since you weren't even trying. I'm sorry that this pg has happened when you didn't want it. I hope that once the shock wears off that you will be able to enjoy this pregnancy. I think it is pretty normal for 3 year olds to not want the new baby (I remember my nephew wanting to trade his brother for a puppy.) By the time the baby arrives, difficult child will be 4 and you can make a big deal about him being the big brother and getting to do things that the baby can't (go to school, go to the movies).
