2nd Time Announcements - *How did you tell DH?*

azerimama

I just got my BFP yesterday and DH is out of town until tomorrow night. This is our second child, and I'm looking for a fun way to tell him we're pregnant after a year of TTC. Any ideas? What did other second time moms do?

Well we have an announcement thread so that'd probably be a good place to look .... I'll tag you in it

Thanks lap018 ! I am so late joining this board that I couldn't find one.

I wanted to surprise my DH with this third but I couldn't wait! I hope you find something fun to tell him!

It's our 2nd too after ttc for almost a year! I put DD in a "big sis" shirt and let her surprise DH when he came home from work. It took a second for it to register with him! Our daughter had fun with it, she just turned 3.

I also had our DS1 in a big brother shirt waiting for him to get home.

I didn't do anything cute to tell DH. I just told him I had to show him something and pulled out the test! He was very surprised

I was going to drive us somewhere and pull into an expectant mother parking spot. But impatience doomed my plan

I thought maybe they would sticky it but they didn't, and I didn't ask

It was DH's birthday, and we looked at the test together

I had my 3yo give him the test and say "daddy, there's a baby in mommy's tummy!" He knew I was experiencing symptoms so it wasn't a shock to him, but our older toddler was ecstatic!

I had a pain Dec 21st at work in my ovary area and didn't think anything of it 

later on that eve I was at a friend's house and I was playing with their 3 year old son he push on my chest and I moaned out in pain didn't realize they were sore until then 

after that happend I realized I hadn't had a period since the beginning of Nov!!!!!!!!

I wrapped the pregnancy test up and gave it to him on Christmas. He thought it was a cigar.

That's what I did when announcing number two! It took him about 20 minutes to read it. Lol. He was even holding our daughter and reading a book to her before he realized. Lol.

I knew there was a chance we were pregnant but hadn't let on to DH yet (I was charting and knew I ovulated earlier then normal and we had pushed the safe zone on not using a condom). It was his birthday and we joked that I should take a pregnancy test because "wouldn't that be hilarious?" and lol and behold it came back positive. I just walked out of the bathroom crying (happy) and handed the stick to my husband and asked if I was just imaging the second line. He was pretty excited.
