Worried about families reaction to pregnancy!

Im super hopeful that this is finally going to be my month to get a positive with baby #1! We BD at the perfect timing and things just feel like they are falling into place (not getting my hopes up or anything here ;))

For a few months now Ive been thinking how great it would be to do announcement gifts for our families on Christmas day! But im also a little anxious that it might turn out badly and so im second guessing if I should do it or not :(

The reason for this being that I dont think our families will really approve of us having a baby right now:
It will be the first grandchild on both sides, so I think there will be some "Im not ready to be a grandma" stuff (we both have sibilings that are still teenagers). And I also have a feeling we will get a lot of "was this an accident?" and "your not ready" comments. We are both 22, DF will be 23 in a couple months. We are in the early stages of planning our wedding, we are currently renting until we can afford to get our own place next summer, and we are both students. So I can see where some of these comments will potentially be coming from as im sure some of you can.:p 

All this worry started when DF's Dad found out that our married friends (23) are having a baby in Febuary and his response was "Was it an accident? I hope it was because they are ruining their lives". I nearly spit up my food when he said it and it really offened me. But that man just has no filterpout Anyway. 


We chose to go ahead and start trying this spring because I have PCOS and dwindling fertility that has gotten worse with every passing year(not that we need an explaination...though in our circles it often feels like we do!). We both agreed that we didnt want to risk waiting any longer and we are so excited to welcome a little one into our lives when he or she decides to get here! My parents know about my fertility issues but they have no idea we are ttc, let alone that we have been trying for 7 months! Some close cousins do know though.

Anyway I guess im worried that we tell everyone and instead of some big happy affair they freak out and then its our fault for ruining the holidays  :( 

So my question for you ladies is;  Is it selfish of me to do fun announcement gifts?  Even if im not pregnant after all this month it is still a crucial question that applies to upcoming occasions like easter and Birthdays. 

On top of wondering if its selfish to do a holiday announcement Ive got this little voice in my head thats saying its selfish to be trying to have a baby at all right now considering its potential to stress out our already overly stressed parents(from dealing with teenagers lol!). 

Seriously all your oppions are wanted and welcomed :) Thanks ladies!
