21 married, but how do I tell the parents that I am pregnant, again?

Question

Ok, so I have been married for 2 1/2 years now. My daughter just turned one. I had her during college and am about to graduate. We played her off as the whole "accident" even though we wanted to get pregnant. 

Now she just turned one, I am about to graduate and I just found out I am pregnant again, and again this child is wanted. But, we are not financially ready to take on a child, and I am not sure when and if I will get hired while pregnant. 

I really want to hold off telling my parents I am pregnant until I get a good job and we are more set in our future so they won't think we are complete idiots, but I don't graduate until August. I know by then I will be showing and they will get angry if I wait that long to tell them. And I may not even be able to get a good job while pregnant. 

Any ideas on telling the parents, how, when in the pregnancy? Any other thoughts?

And just so you know, I am graduating college in under 3 years Magnum *** laude, so I am not really stupid, and we will eventually be financially ok.... it will just take some time. I just don't want to hear a lecture from my over protective parents. I am afraid they will just be disappointed because they know how much harder things will be with two kids under two.

You know you have to tell them eventually, so you may as well get it over with. Like you said, there's no guarantee on a job even after graduation, so you don't know if your situation will change. Just remind them of your successes - many women are much worse off than you, and they should be proud that you went on to finish college and do so well.

Also, I find the Yahoo censorship of the word amusing when in "Magnum C*um Laude"

Just tell them. Your situation is far better than some, you graduated college, even magna *** laude, and you are married. So don't worry. You can find something as far as jobs go I'm sure, and it's illegal for them to fire you for being pregnant, or not hire you for that reason.
