Telling DH

So I am telling my DH tomorrow about the baby. Anyone have a good poem or rhyme?

I am the worst at this.

We are going out to dinner. I was also thinking of having the waitress bring something baby (rattle, bib etc.) on a plate.

What do you guys think?

Re: Telling DH

You could do what Rebecca did on "Full House" and order things with a baby theme like salad with baby greens, babyback ribs, baby veggies, etc.

When I get PG I'm taking DH to the place where he was going to ask me to marry him but changed his mind.

Re: Telling DH

I can never do anything cute-I just spit it out after I pee on the stick. It's actually a pretty anti-climatic moment-sad, I realizeChat Icon

Re: Telling DH

i give you props for NOT being able to say something for over a day (or more... don't know when you got your BFP) My DH was outside the bathroom door while i was peeing on the stick. i could not keep that a secret!


does he have a favorite sports team? maybe buy a baby-sized jersey or onesie and give him that?
CONGRATULATIONS!

This isn't our first baby. With the 1st I woke him at 5:00 am to look at the stick!

I have known for more than a week Chat Icon Some people think I am insane for not having told him yet. This weekend is special so I wanted to wait.

I think I am going to do the baby item on a plate.

If this isn't your first...how about getting DC a shirt that says I'm a big brother/sister.

That's how I plan on telling DH when I finally get my BFP.

I know, you are a great secret keeper! i had all these plans how I was going to tell my DH and meanwhile when I got it, I had the Digital in my PJ pocket and stalked the door for him to get home from work. In fact, it was actually funny, about the same time i heard the tain pull in my bell rang, so I just assumed it was DH...I run to the door and hold up the digital test that says PREGNANT in the window and it was the UPS guy!!!!Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

Re: Telling DH

What if you got a little cake from a bakery and had "We're Pregnant" written on it, drop it off at the restaurant earlier and have the waitress bring it out when it is time for dessert?

Too complicated?

Re: Telling DH

I have no clue what I would do. I think it is great that you waited till this special weekend. I like the "baby foods" idea. My DH goes away each weekend from Oct - Dec upstate, I have been praying to get a BFP while he is away so I could come up with a surprise when he got home.
So far...no such luck!Chat Icon

Re: Telling DH

When I get my BFP, I'm giving DH the book "Guess How Much I Love You". DH always says that he want to read to our kids, so That's to start the collection.

Re: Telling DH

When DH's friend's DW POAS and got her BFP she told her 4 year old DD. The 4 year old told DH's friend when he got home.

Re: Telling DH

So I told him. I wrote out a card for our Anniversary and said how he is such a good dad to our sons and then mentioned he will have another to love in July.

He was completely baffled. I played it VERY cool this week and he really thought we were out this month.

He is very excited!! Turned out to be a great night. He has asked me about a million times today how I am feeling Chat Icon
