I thought I was pregnant and took a test about two days before my period. I thought I saw a faint line but I wasn’t really sure. The next day I took another one and this time there was something there but it was still too light, so I didn’t want to say anything. Now the day I am supposed to start, I took another test and there it was. Not only was I pregnant but it was Father’s Day. I couldn’t believe it. We had a family gathering for Father’s Day and I went up to my husband and pulled him aside. I took out the test and said “Happy Father’s Day”. He looked at it and looked at me shocked. I said it again and said we are going to have a baby. Our daughter is now 2 and we have been trying for baby 2. I have already bought a shirt with the I’m a Big Sister (because it was on sale). I can’t really think of a better way than to have our first born tell him about the second to be born. Hopefully I won’t have to wait much longer.

Baking Fairy, I love that idea! its so cute.

I found out I was pregnant the week before Valentine’s Day so I waited until VDay to tell my husband. On VDay I baked alphabet cookies so I could spell out the message:

“Roses are pink.
Violets are blue.
In October our baby is due!”

His reaction? He laughed. It took him a minute to actually get it then he was thrilled.

My hubby was in Hawaii on a job when I found out during an ultrasound of my kidneys, (we were told we couldn’t have anymore!!!) so I called him on his cell and told him I needed to talk to him and he needed to get down, the machine he was standing on was 40 ft in the air, and he asked why-you pregnant??? I said yes, and he started screaming to all the guys he was working on that we were having another baby! It was so exciting!

To tell my hubby, I took all of his boxers out of his underwear drawer and replased them with diapers. He loved it. He was totally suprised. I almost blurted it out a few times, but I am proud of myself for zipping my lips for once and not ruining the suprise.

All of the stories are so cute!

I didn’t get to tell my hubby with either, really. With our first, he had been out of town for about a week. The morning after he came home, I told him that I was late (about 12 hours, but I used to be extremely regular). He said that was cool. We were not planning to have a family at that time at all. I couldn’t believe how okay with it he was. He was the one who went and bought the test. He made me go into a gas station bathroom because he couldn’t wait. I had to sit in the car with the test and read it with him. He was so excited, and it took me a little bit of time to come around.

With our second, I wasn’t regular anymore and never knew when my period was going to start. One morning my husband asked if she should go and get a pregnancy test for me. I asked why. He went and bought one anyway and when it turned out positive, he said, “I knew it.” He had expected for about a week that I was pregnant, based on my moods.

i went for a routine appt to have my birth control refilled. Surprise. no need! I asked my partner to stop on the way home to pick up my prescription. Unfortunately, the pharmacist had some kind of question and asked him if generic prenatal vitamins were ok until they got in the other kind. He told her she had the wrong prescription … she didn’t. (don’t worry babyboopie – he wasn’t amused either. broke off our engagement and moved out a week later b/c he didn’t want the stigma of baby before marriage — supposed to get married later that year. guess its a better stigma to walk out I wouldn’t change anything either (except maybe my taste in men

With our first my husband came home after working really late, and offered me a beer from the kitchen,and when I said no. He said “knocked up”? I said yes. He told me he was thinking that on the way home,because I’m never late

I took a picture of my test and made a pretty card with photo shop that didn’t look like anything special on the front and when you open it there is the picture of the test, my husband didn’t expect it at all. We were trying so he wasn’t shocked that I was, but the card and my mood gave no clues. So he was surprised and loved it.

My husband says he knew I was pregnant before I even tested. But I took the test in our second bathroom while my husband showered. The line was so faint I almost didn’t think it was positive. I took it in and just showed my husband through the shower door. His response “take another”. 8 tests over two days and we finally believed it was true.
