telling daddy?

how did you tell your husbands/FH you were pregnant? i want to do something cute not just straight out tell him..any ideas?

Re: telling daddy?

DH's parents gave us as a joke a cardboard cutout of a toddler. We thought it was funny so we named him "Sal" short for salmonila and kept him on the window sill for about a year( yes, we are a little odd). When I found out that I was preggo I made a sign to attach to "Sal" that said "I'm going to have a brother or a sister!" and left it on the kitchen counter for him to find when he got up for work. I wish I had a picture of the look on his face when he walked out of the kitchen after seeing it.

Re: telling daddy?

I went to the flower shop and bought a huge bouquet of pink and baby blue(they sprayed white ones) lily's, put them in a vase on my kitchen table and wrapped the positive pregnancy test in a bow and put it right underneath.

The best part is 10 mins before DH got home from work, our power went out!! All he saw when he walked in was a silhouette of flowers and was like hey where did those come from, so I had to shine a flash light on it so he could see the color!!!

Re: telling daddy?

I didnt do anything special, more like I jumped on the bed and was shoving the pee stick in his sleeping face!!!

Re: telling daddy?

both times I woke up before him and went to go test. so i came back to bed and told him and neither of us could get back to sleep then...

for valentines day when i was pregnant I bought him a baby outfit... that could be a cute thing if you know a sports team he likes

Re: telling daddy?

I was boring, he looked at the test with me

Re: telling daddy?

Re: telling daddy?

My DH knew before me!!!!!! sounds weird but true! We had just talked about starting to try one month before and I started feeling sick by the end of September and had not even thought of the possibility of pregnancy! right before my birthday in October I decided to take the test by then I was 2 weeks late! Sure enough! I could not wait I called him and said Amor, I have something to tell you,,,,,he cut me off and said you barely found out your pregnant? I was spooked and he started laughing and said you can tell by your new glow every morning! weird huh? BUT I THINK THE PICTURE FRAME IDEA IS GREAT!

Re: telling daddy?

With our first pg, I sat on the couch in shock and pointed to the bathroom for him to go look at the stick

With this pg, I took his hands in mine and let him know we were about to begin the pg journey again and we both cried

Re: telling daddy?

i shoved a test in his face.
