First thing: if you don't feel ready yet, you don't have to tell anyone you're expecting a baby. But if you have decided to do so, prevent future grandparents from learning from others that a grandchild is on the way and your boss to hear from rumors. The classic sequence: break the news

to the future dad,
then to the grandparents,
to close friends,
to the boss (maybe after the twelfth week)
and to all the others after.
