So I know we always say the way we told our SO about our (hopefully soon) BFP's. And I know a lot of ladies here are TFAS, so Im curious if anyone has any creative ways they plan to or told their SO!
I don't know about you guys, but I think about how I would like to tell my SO a lot, and with pinterest or what not, there are so many cool ways out there to do it. Just wondering if anyone else has thought about it or done anything cool!
Also trying to come up with good ways to pass the time until I can test without driving myself crazy.

All welcome
I really really regret getting cutesy for our first BFP because I waited to test until H's birthday and put the (with the little cap on, thank you very much) digital in the gift bag. He was so happy. I don't think I can do anything like that again because it just marked the date as something I would rather not think about, there's now a strict no testing on birthdays or important holidays policy.
All of that said, we did buy an adorable Downton Abbey onsie that has a little bell on it and says nursery that we will use as an announcement at some point.

Same with announcing to friends/family. I just call them up & exclaim that I'm pregnant. We squee, they help me talk about names & life goes on.
I like pin interest but I think it makes a lot of people feel like they have to make every life event into something to showcase or make a big to-do about.

The first time I think I yelled Holy Shit! It's positive. That one ended in a loss and the next one was a phone call to him at work - honey, I peed on a stick... ready to try this again? Sooooo romantic.
I'm hoping see a BFP before it's time to quit (in other words, we decided against intervention due to our age amongst other things) so I will get a Big Sister shirt for DD to announce to DH and later, hopefully family

I was thinking of getting it to hang on the bedroom door for him to see when he comes home from work and goes to get changed, but I'm loving the bandana idea for the dog too! I had seen signs for dogs before but mine would eat it so that wouldn't have worked
