He knew I'd be taking a test the night before as I hadn't gotten my period yet. I woke up at 5 needing to pee and when I came back into the room he was like "well?" The line was faint though, so he went back to sleep and I stayed up until the local CVS opened. :P
I brought home chinese food for dinner. I had ordered fortune cookies online that said "You are going to be a daddy" for my husband and ones that said "You are going to be a big sister!" for my daughter and gave the cookies to them after dinner. They were both very surprised!
I took a dollar store test in the morning, thought I saw a faint line. Went to Walmart after work and got another test. Came home and found out I was pregnant. So excited since we have been trying for almost a year and didn't know how hard t was going to be with me having Crohn's. I always planned to do this so after I called my BFF and told her the good news (yes I know before my husband, but I was on the phone when she peed on the stick for her first kid, haha) she told me to do what I planned to do, its my only chance to surprise him. I went to the store on my way to a funeral that night and bought a onesie that said "my dad is cooler than your dad." I wrapped it up when I got home and let him open it. As soon as he opened it, he was like "Wait, What?? You're pregnant!!"
With ds I put a tshirt on our dog that said "big sister" and had her sitting in front of the door when he came home from work. We own a shipping store, so this time I wrote a letter, on a fake letterhead informing him of the date for arrival of his bundle
Since this was our first time trying I was hardly expecting it to be positive. Since my breast were unusually sore I decided to run to store and get a pregnancy test. He knew. When I came back and took the test I was so surprised to see that it was positive. I couldn't wait to tell him. I found him in another room of the house, called his name, stood in the doorway and said, "I'm pregnant." Today he said he wished he could have taken a picture of my face because it was priceless and cute. LOL. We hugged for the longest time after I told him.
We had just started TTC.. I mean one try, so neither of us thought it would work. Hubby was away on a business trip, so I texted him a picture of the positive test with no explanation. He called back a minute later very surprised.
Hubby came home from work and I said ' How would you like to have sex with a pregnant lady tonight?!?!?"
He did a double take, hugged me and then asked to see the test... and the directions just to make sure I read it right. We had been trying for a few months, so he was crazy excited.
I actually got lucky, and found out I was pregnant on our anniversary So I went and got a cute gift box & put the pregnancy test in it for his Anniversary gift
It was early in the morning so the hubs was still asleep, I came in the room, threw up the light switch and nothing happened. So I grabbed the flash light he keeps beside our bed, prodded him with it a few time and shoved the test in one hand and the flash light in the other. He flipped it on and said "why do I need a highlighter?" I love my husband. After a second, he got his mind right and then kept saying 'wow' in the most adorably stunned voice. For my mom, I wrote on a blank card "this card is redeemable for one grand baby, ETA: 11/11/14". I gave it too her just before she left my house and she didn't open it until in the car. But just after she read it, she got a text that said "congrats!" And was so peeved that I told someone else first. When I didn't here from her, I called to see if she even read the card. She asked who I told before her, I said no one and she went thought her text messages to find out (apparently, she was to stunned to check before hand). Turns out it was a text she had sent to someone else, that hadn't made it and was being kicked back to her. She basically sent herself a congrats text, the long way and how perfect a time to get it! After we figured out what happened she was over the moon.
Hubby was off from work and sleeping. I had just gotten out of the shower to see a paint second line. I ran into the bedroom and said, "I think we might be pregnant!" and jumped into bed with him soaking wet. Needless to say he never got back to bed.
