 Topic: How did you tell your DH/DP??

How did you break the news that you were pregnant??
I just found out today that our lucky last bub is coming, and since this is the last time i get to do this, I want to do it in a fun way... With Jae I just text him and said the tablets he was taking had worked! I want to do something a little more interesting than that this time!

I was pretty cruel I got DH to read the result to make sure there was 2 lines. That was first thing in the morning before he went to work - think he was a bit stunned for most of the day.
Massive, huge congratulations too

I have seen t-shirts "Im going to be a big sister/brother" I think that is so cute!
I think mine went along the lines of "whoa $hit!" as we weren't expecting that close of an age gap

#1- I did a wee photo frame with the message Daddy in Waiting and a picture of him. Then I kept updating the frame with the scan pictures etc. I did the same thing to tell our parents and siblings
#2 - I did the "I am going to be a big brother" t'shirt. This was wicked. It was funny seeing the family cotton on to it to. Some people caught on it about a minute of us arriving but DH's Mum we had to tell after 30 minutes of waiting.

Yea I told DF in an email lmfao. I was a stunned mullet when I did the test at 5:30am before I headed out to work. Kept waking DF up and then telling him to go back to sleep. Will probably do the tshirt idea next time.

send him a rattle or something, that was my plan....when i found out i was too shocked to follow through. I when I told him i was grumpy as I'd been trying to get in touch with him for 2 hours. I ended up asking the school receptionist to go over and find him and get him to ring me urgently lol.

I'm wondering if I can hold off telling him for a week cos its his birthday next tuesday!! I like the rattle idea, but it just gave me an even better idea! Theres an AIO and matching wrap I have been eyeing up at TnT and its on sale... might get them and wrap them up as his birthday pressy hehe... orrr I could just get them now and say its a little early but here ya go!

we had had an argument over what to eat for tea (what a dumb thing to fight about!) but I needed to pee so I went and did the test - then couldn't believe it when it looked like a positive result... so just handed it to DH and he was like 'how accurate are these things?'
He was so excited :)

No offence to your DH... but remember (most) men are pretty stupid when it comes to these things! You need to make it REALLY obvious!

I had planned on making a dinner of a whole lot of "baby" things. I saw it on Full House years ago. Things like baby carrots, lamb cutlets, baby potatoes, baby peas etc etc.
But, the reality was I was so excited and scared and shocked that I text him a picture of the test while he was at work
