How did you tell your DH?

[Ann612]

...or your babby daddy, or your wife, or your partner, or your....I can't think of any others.  But you know, all inclusive question here.

So let's hear the stories!

I thought of all kinds of ways but most I thought either DH would guess before getting to the punch line, or would have required patience on my part (of which I have none).

So I stood by the door with a positive test in my hand a big smile on my face, so it was the first thing DH saw when he walked in the door when he came home from work. I got 3 seconds of shock and an "oh my god." Followed by a big smile and a "that is so awesome".

Well this is my second pregnancy (hopefully first take-home baby). I was just going to get out the baseball onesie I bought last summer when I told him, but I decided to do something different.

So very carefully (I had to write upside down), below my pants line I drew a small dot with a voice bubble saying "Hi Daddy!" I put on yoga pants, then found DH and told him I got a new tattoo I needed to show him. He didn't believe me that I got one, so I pulled down the top of my pants and showed him what I wrote. He stared for a moment trying to process, then looked at me and said "nuh-uh! No way!"

I came running into our room at 4:30 in the morning and shoved a pee stick in his face. Very original and romantic.

I put both of my boys in "Big Brother" shirts and woke DH up from a nap by us bombarding in. It took him a minute, but he eventually got it and was shocked then thrilled.

That's what I would have done if DH had been home when I took the test!

DH was waiting outside the bathroom because he knew I was testing. I had bought a "best brother ever" onsie for DS for this moment and met DH at the door with it. I asked him if he thought it would fit DS. He looked at it backwards and said, "yea, sure. What about the test?" I had to turn the onsie around for him and it took a few seconds, but he finally got it.

Haven't yet. We are going to the dodger game this Saturday. IT's gonna display on the jumbotron thing.

I showed him the pee stick after work and he asked what it meant. I said, really dude, would I show you a negative pee stick? He sort of chuckled and told me he wasn't sure and a few hours later he asked if I felt like it was a boy or a girl. Sunk in quick for him I guess!

I called him at work. I'm really cute like that. lol.

whaaatttt?!  I can't believe you can hold out that long! impressive

I haven't yet because DH has a big mouth and told everyone as soon as I told him last time at around 6 weeks. I'm thinking of doing something like this though:

OMG this is amazing.

I just told DH when he finally woke up that morning that we were officially doubling down. I was impressed that I kept it to myself for a whole hour and a half, LOL.

Ditto this. I'm known for being super sentimental.

H is out of town... I haven't told him yet!! Waiting until he gets back for the big reveal.

[mrsk23]

I waited till DH got home from work and then asked him if he wanted to be in on my crazyness. Lol he knows I'm a total POAS addict and usually he steers clear of my crazy I swear there's a line moments but he humored me and the line was totally visible no squinting or weird angles needed! Today is our 2 year wedding anniversary so I'm going to sneak out here in a bit and buy a baby onesie to give him at dinner tonight. The traditional 2nd year gift is cotton so I thought that'd be cute!

[jags8]

mrsk23 happy anniversary! DH and I also do traditional gifts. The babe would be born just a few weeks before our 4th anniversary (fruit/flowers). I'm just gonna tell him our kid is his gift because it's the fruit of my womb hahahaha

[doublehammock]

Super cute mrsk23! Enjoy your evening.
