telling hubby/ s o the news

how did you girls tell your significant others the news about your pregnancy? this will be our last baby, and i want to tell scott in a really special way. my memories of the last time are lots of crying, how did this happen, are we ready for this etc etc. so this time, the planned one, i want it to be fun and loving and full of excitement. so any great ideas for me to take onboard?
(of course, nothing happened yet, i am just dreaming

I was so gutted when I told my hubby as we had been trying for 2 months and the day we had our 1st ever big fight was the day I found out.

I of course was so excited and rang him at work to see if he would go to lunch with me so I could tell him. Well it turned into a I don't have time what do you want type thing. In the end I said I just found out we are having a baby. He then decided to be nice and come to lunch. On the way to meet him I got a text that said "I am going to be a daddy". Made me feel a bit better.

If I had my time over though I would be like you xanthesmum and want to do something special. Maybe you could find one of those "I love my daddy" shirts or bibs and give it to him as a gift over dinner?.

I wasn't too sure that I was pregnant when I first did my pregnancy test because it was a little faint and I said to my husband that I might be pregnant. He got really excited and I said to him that I would get it confirmed by going to the doctor the next day. My husband didn't come to the doctor with me but came to pick me up afterwards and when I jumped in the car I said to him "your going to be a dad"! He had a big smile on his face and has been pretty happy about it since.

I did the test before we went to work in the morning, it was early like 6am and we only leave at about 8 - anyway i got up to do it and came back to bed and sat there waiting to see, the line came up very faint and i showed him and he said looks like a line to me - but i was like "no i dont think it is, it's too faint" anyway we just both sat there in stunned silence, and he said well it looks like you are, and i said i will check with the doctor first, anyway went to the doc and they said it is positive, and i called him and he said oh thats cool but sounded pretty unfussed - i was very unfussed too - we were almost surreally calm, i dont think either of us coould actually comprehend it - it definately took a while for us to absorb! We only really clicked that it was real at about 12 weeks, and now we are getting really excited...

With Kiya I found out at home, rung her bio father (he was in Auckland, I was in Picton) and said "Happy Birthday! Now sit down..."

With Josiah, Nat was waiting for me every time I came out of the bathroom to know if I was pregnant or not! As it took two weeks before we got a positive, and I tested several times, he was getting impatient!

This time, I'd done a couple of tests that were negative, and we weren't planning to TTC yet, so we weren't stressing... when I tested (as I hadn't had a period for 6 weeks) and finally got a positive, I went to Nat's work, and told the office I needed to see him... went along to his classroom (when I knew he had a non-contact period) and showed him the positive result!

In late November I noticed one morning that I had really sore boobs, but thought I had slept on them funny. The next day I had the same thing so bought a pregnancy test and mentioned it to hubby who said not to bother cause it was too soon (we had been trying less than a month). I left it for the night and when hubby went to work the next morning (at his usual 5:30am), I decided to do the test anyway and it showed a definite positive. Of course I thought I did the test wrong so booked into the doctor for that afternoon and he confirmed it was positive.

I can't get hold of hubby at work so had to wait until he got home and finished telling me about his day before I pointed to my belly and told him there was a baby in there hehe Of course he was "the man" for getting me knocked up so quickly!

Lol thats funny Pepsi.....

Its funny how that happens ...we only tried for 4 months.....and I was pregnant. I think finding out that I was pregnant was one of the best days of my life...of course seeing my baby was the best!!!

Oh Liz....the next One!!!!

WELL. We were passively trying, as in just not 'being careful', as we'd always been under the impression it could be difficult with my suspected endo. I'd only just started using OPK's, and was still frustrated as my cycle was completely out of whack from having been on Depo before.

Anyway, it was a Friday afternoon after work, and we'd decided to splurge a little on junk food at the supermarket, as well as get some beer for the weekend. Just as we'd finished our shopping, we wound up walking through the medicines aisle and I briefly thought... "nahhh... would just be a waste of money to buy another one of those !!" But since my period was well past due, grabbed one for the hell of it, STILL not expecting anything of it as my period had skipped a month before.

So, I should have known Irony was about to pay us a visit (having bought a dozen Stella Artois), but got hubby to crack me a beer and then trotted off to the toilet to take the test.

I believe the first words out of my mouth were "HOLY CRAP !!" Which of course was enough to make hubby come running without further ado and open the bathroom door to ask "What !?!?!!" LOL And so I showed him the test, which I still have the pleasure of being able to show you ladies:



We were pretty shell shocked for a while, but then reality settled in after a few days and we were pretty chuffed !! The hardest people to tell were at work, mind you, it was just my boss in particular that was a b*tch - thankfully she has since left and my new boss is wonderful about it.

It took us a LOT longer to get around to telling our parents, but I eventually came up with these:






Aaaaaaanyway, sorry about the ramble ! LOL

OH ! Wait, before I forget (baby brain, yeesh), we went for our first scan just a few days later and I was at approx. 6 weeks 5 days.

well i told chris just after we'd broken up and he was driving me home.

Poor bugger,he was so shocked he nearly crashed into a tree.

Poor tree
