How did/will you tell your dad?
My Dad is my hero, my best friend, my savior, my knight in shining armor and just the best human I have ever known.
I am NOT close to my step or real mother.
I also don't plan on senidng this to my Dad or tell my family until Im almost 14 weeks. I see the stats on m/c and don't want to hurt my dad. I will tell my MIL cause it serves my purposes (they will help financially).
So here's what I do to tell my dad (when it happens). I am going to Disney in Feburary. I want to buy a grandpa type picture frame. Something like I love grandpa etc.
Then I will put in a hand written note in it that says "Picture to be provied sometime near XX/XX/XX, gender to be determined"
Whatcha think? Do you have any plans?

I hope you don't mind, but after we get our BFP and are past the dangerous first couple months, I'm totally stealing your idea 
that's brilliant!

Glad you like it 
I was thinking of holding off until Father's Day, Grandparents Day or his Birthday or Xmas.
Fathers Day -
2008 - Jun 15
2009 - Jun 21
Grandparents Day & His Bday
September
Of course xmas is Dec
So that Month 6, 9, 12 Only month without a holiday to do it on is March for me. That's my hubby's bday. But this way, I can call him up and say I sent I have a gift for him (get it, play on words?)
I love playing word tricks on my family with news.
I broke my engagement by calling to my dad on the way to dinner once in the parking lot "Oh hey dad, I meant to introduce someone to you" hehehe "I want to introduce you to your future son-in-law" heheh
