How did you tell your SO?

[ladytiffany24]

I'm entirely too boring over here.

H watched the pee stick turn with me. And then I showed him again when I retested the same day in the afternoon. I guess he likes looking at my pee sticks because like a week leading up to testing, he kept asking when I was going to test.

My mom was in town last weekend though so I put a little message inside of an Easter egg and gave it to her. It said, "You're going to be a grandma again. Happy Easter!"

Love the creativity you've all got!

My first test was so light that I just told DH "I know its faint, but I think I'm pregnant."

But we told our parents by putting DD in a Big Sister shirt. It was fun waiting for DH's parents to catch on since they don't speak much English

My story isn't very exciting because my last BFP didn't turn out so well.

I tested at 3:30 a.m. because I just had a "feeling" it would be positive and I couldn't sleep. It was, obviously, so when he woke up for work I told him in bed. He got all excited and kept telling me "congratulations!" which was awkward AF. You don't say "congratulations!" when it's your baby! haha.

Yours are all fun. DH made me POAS before everyone got to our house for Easter, but the line was still pretty faint and weren't sure if the Ovidrel was still in my system or not. After the nurse called on Monday with my beta results I called DH while standing in the hallway at work crying. He thought I was calling with bad news, poor guy. I'm planning on waiting until mothers day to tell our parents. This will be my parents first grandchild and it is so hard not letting them know now.

Basically mh heard the whole thought process since it started.
Sunday, huh, my period is two weeks past due! Weird! Ill take a blood test tomorrow and check my thyroid functions. H: ok
Monday: huh, blood shows perfect thyroid and a negative preg, but theres an asterisk telling me to retake in a week wtf? H bring back a stick i can pee on! H brings cheapest fucker on earth. No lines show. Wtf H?!
Tuesday: i buy 5 good sticks. I pee at work. I think its negative. 7 hours later my bmb says theres a faint line (seriously a shadow of a shadow)
Wednesday: i pee on a stick early morning. Def a line... H says "this is awesome" and smiles like a goof... He goes to eat something (hes a nervous eater).
Bmb goes crazy, many ladies poas, another fellow bmb shows a positive too.

I have no idea when ill tell my family. Im sure everyone will ask "was it planned?!"....
To which my response will be back the fo.

I was out east on vacation so I just sent him a picture of the pee stick, he didn't know what to look for so I had to explain it to him. Not very fun or romantic. I sent a picture to my parents of a shirt saying "I can't keep calm I'm going to be a Grammy again" and told her to buy it.

We haven't told anyone else IRL life yet. I told my July 11 BMB but that's it. We are getting pics done of the girls doing a "big sister training camp" and that'll be our reveal to everyone else.

[ladytiffany24]

We haven't told anyone IRL other than the immediate family (my parents, in laws, and siblings). We'll wait for the big reveal after the first tri. Trying not to get too ahead of myself with that so I don't want to spiral yet on what I might do for the reveal.

Of course, in the Internet lands, I've told July 2014, GKU and my local board.

My DH was on his way home from a night out with a few of his buddies. He called me on his way home and I spilled the beans...

Convo went something like this: "hey babe remember when I told you I was starting my morning with a pregnancy test?"...."no effing way" and then a bunch of excitement on his end. And then "oh shit it's probably going to be another girl" (which he would honestly love but pretends he wouldn't)

We aren't telling anyone for a while. I haven't even contemplated making a doctors appointment yet. Definitely not spilling the beans anytime soon. Maybe we will wait until the anatomy scan...if we can.

Our first go round I had a cake made that said Baby R, November 2014.... taped DH seeing the cake, our parents reactions, the whole shebang.... after that didn't turn out so well the 2nd positive I just had peed on the stick and went and woke up DH and showed him.

This time, I was with DD in the bathroom, trying to take a picture of the 2 of us with the positive test and in walked DH who had just woke up. He was wondering what I was doing, so I handed him the stick and he just said "oh, you're pregnant!" lol. He's not too much of an emotional person.

My story isn't too exciting. MH and I were going to have a Sunday Funday- we both had taken the following Monday off....I had a margarita at lunch and knew we had been pretty "on" with our timing this month, so bought a cheap pregnancy test on the way home before I had anything else to drink....and low and behold a squinter of a line at 3 weeks 4 days. 2 more cheap tests (he "couldn't make out a line") and a digital later concluded our Sunday Funday

I know this is terrible, but I haven't told him yet! He's been traveling for work, and I wanted to do it in person. I had a simple plan of a gift-wrapped onesie set out in the kitchen for when he comes home. But now my family is coming into town, and they'll arrive before him! I'm not sure if my mom will catch on or not (she's a magician with this stuff, apparently, and guessed my SIL was pregnant the day they took the test), but I'd like to keep it between MH and I for a few more weeks. We'll see what happens.

Already starting with #2 getting the shaft. #1 I bought him a gift and a card, and we went out to dinner. This one I left the stick on the sink for him to find while I was in the shower, he gave me a kiss, we went to work - business as usual.
