I Just found out I'm Pregnant!!!!

Hey Everyone,

I just took a home pregnancy test last night and found out I'm pregnant. My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for about four months now. I am so excited. What I need help with is...telling my husband. He is working out of town and won't be home for a few days (Monday). I want an original idea of how I can tell him. I thought about a greeting card that says "Congradulations Daddy" and giving him the home pregnancy test. What do you think? I am open to any suggestions of fun and creative ideas.

Thanks so much,

Debbie

Debbie,

First let me say congrats! Whenever my dh and I conceive I plan on telling him by buying a small gift bag ( paper and all ) and putting a bib that says I love my daddy and the pregnancy test in it. Hopefully soon I will get the chance to do that. Let us know how it goes.

Congratulations! The I love Daddy bib idea is a cute one! Any kind of baby item wrapped up would be great fun, even a pack of newborn size diapers with a note saying, "we're going to be needing these soon!" They have a humorous book called "what to expect when your wife is expanding" I bought that for my dh when pg with our first or you could do a baby name book. Have fun telling him!

Hi. Congratulations to you! What a wonderful topic on how to tell dh. You could maybe cook a meal with all baby or small veggies and see if he catches on and if he doesn't then give him the gift and card but,I'm sure he will. You could use cherry toms., baby corn, small peas, pearl onions, tiny new pots. ,etc. Good luck with creating a great way to tell him (great memories ahead with that). Best wishes to you and your baby:o)and dh of course.
