BFP! How to tell DH (Told DH update in post)
KateLouise

Hi ladies,
I was so sure that the cramping feeling in my stomach was period pain, but I guess not. POAS because today is my due date and I was holding out until today, and it came up instantly with a strong BFP.
So today is the 1st anniversary of our marriage in our church, which is a super nice anniversary present. It means I can't drink with my friend tonight who is home from the UK which is kind of dumb but also good because I never manage to control myself with her and have just a quiet drink. I always end up drinking 2 bottles of wine and dancing at 4am.
Obviously after our miscarriage I'm a little nervous, I know many of you will understand.
I'm home alone and haven't told DH, who is at work. I could just phone him. I could wait until he gets home and tell him. Since I saw this ad. a few months ago, I thought it would be cute to message it to him and tell him there's a hint in there somewhere for him.
I don't want to make a major production about telling him, but I'd like to make a little effort.
Anyway I'll be lurking around and keeping an eye on you ladies. Best wishes to you all, and as always thank you for all the love and support you have shown me, and continue to show each other. You guys are an awesome bunch of people.
ETA Update:
So DH came home, and I told him he should watch something on my computer. The ad (it''s a coke ad.) started playing, and this is the conversation that followed:
DH:oh yeah I've seen this one.
Me: So what happens at the end?
DH: Umm, there's another baby because she's pregnant.
Me: Yeah. There's a hint there.
DH: Oh. OH I see. Well I hope this one's a sticky one. (and we hugged and he got a bit teary)

I hope you update with how you tell YH. I'm a little bit crazy when it comes to things like that and would love to come up with something a little creative...but I try not to plan it bc I'm superstitious too and don't want to jinx (yes, I'm insane). So...essentially I'm no help but am casually looking for ideas in case I get to surprise my DH someday
I'm all for a face to face tell.
I wish I was at my computer so I could send you a gif.
I wish you a happy healthy 9 months.
