Ways to tell DH you are pregnant

mantle

Hi everyone,

I am back after quite a long break. We have been TTC for 3 years now. In that time, I've had 2 pre-cancerous cervical cancer surgeries to remove cells. In May I had a scar tissue removal surgery to help with the pain I was having with periods and to help give us better chances to conceive. In the last 3 years I have probably taken about 20 pregnancy tests, all with a big fat negative. 

Well, this morning, after several days of feeling nauseous, I took a test this morning and got 2 lines. I was so shocked I took another one to make sure it was correct. It was!

We are pregnant with baby #3. Now, what I need help with is how to tell DH, then our daughters (51/2 and 31/2). I've seen lots of 'tel the extended family' ideas, but I am looking for a special way to tell my DH, since we have struggled for so long. 

Please share any ideas you might have. Thanks in advance!

Well, I made a simple clip art graphic with text, printed it on iron-on paper, and ironed it onto a passion t shirt. He glanced at the shirt, but I think it was my humongous smile that have it away. I was going to attach a photo of the shirt but the app attach button doesn't seem to work. I'll try again later.

Congratulations!! One of my favorites is when you're taking a family picture say, "say mommy is pregnant!!" And you can catch their reactions. Especially if you record it instead. A moment you can keep forever, and even share with others.
Very excited for you!!
