CONGRATS! Whatever you do, don't wait to tell him. Tell him tonight. He should be first to know (well, maybe next since hundreds of people are reading your post). Keeping wonderful secrets like yours don't lend to healthy marriages. My neighbor kept her pregnancy from her husband for a couple weeks saying she wanted to come up with a wonderful way to tell him, but things didn't work out that way. She ended up telling him when she had signs of miscarriage at 6-7 weeks. It caused some trust issues in their marriage. She miscarried 4 weeks after she told him about the pregnancy which further strained their relationship.
I have no suggestions, but I wanted to share the story of me telling my husband this news over a month ago. I suspected. I took a test. I dropped by his office when I knew he wasn't busy. I waited until he got off the phone and went in his office and he says "I already know you are pregnant. I figured it out 3 days ago (which was before I even suspected). Men can be such brats.
Good luck and I know that whatever way you come up with will be wonderful and a story you can share for years.
Congratulations!
If you decide to wait I would wait until Christmas and have him open some baby themed gift like a gender neutral onesie that says I love Daddy or something for your older kids that says big brother/sister. I wouldn't do it at church or his work. Congratulations and good luck
So I really like the idea of having his beverage served in a baby bottle! We are supposed to have a date tomorrow anyways…I don’t know if I can wait that long!
As for everyone else…we are getting family pictures taken on sunday and were planning on giving one to everyone in our families-maybe at the bottom of the frame we could paint the words ‘Our family is growing…by 2 feet’.
****CaraK-I just thought about sending him a certified letter in an old mastercard envelope so he has to sign. When he opens it he will see “Congratulations —____! You have been approved for a new baby!..”
