[quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure where this is going to land on the thread, but I just became a surprise grandmother two week ago. No one knew my son's gf was even pregnant until 5 days before she went into labor and (probably) delivered close to full term.

Right now except for immediate family (our nuclear family) my son has asked us all not to yet share that information with all the uncles, aunts, grandparents, cousins etc. who live in the area while he works on coming to terms with the shock of becoming a father completely out of the blue.

He has specifically asked that none of us say anything right now. Other than keeping the new mom in supplies of formula and whatever else we were able to put together for her, no one knows.

At some point it's going to be on my son (and his dad, tbh) to have to explain to everyone why they didn't know there was a new baby in the family until X weeks later (? if it goes to months that's going to be bizarre) ... that's not my personal circus or responsibility.

Beyond the level of sheer emergency help needed because this baby couldn't wait for everyone else to figure their ish out, right now I just consider my son and his gf to be the 2 bosses.

I am in a very, very, very, very unusual situation right now, though.[/quote]
