POLL: How did you tell DH?

Or how will you? Last time I told him over the phone and I want to do something more creative this time :)

Re: POLL: How did you tell DH?

  • I was in the bathroom upstairs and he didn't know I was testing. I just called him upstairs and asked him if he could see the second lines on the tests (I'd taken four at that point!). He said yes, and I just said, OK, well, then, I'm pregnant!

  • He was with me when I tested.
  • I put on a full on carnival with elephants and everything and had a spider monkey bring in the pee stick with a sign around its neck that said "We're having a baby." Make sure you don't forget cotton candy or an awesome flea circus too though or else it won't be complete.

  • we always grocery shop together....and I always make the list. when we get to the store he pushes the cart and checks off the list while I retrieve the items and put them in the cart. 

    I told DH by making a list that looked similar to this...

    Eggs
    Milk
    Oranges
    Bread
    Bagels
    Diapers
    Yogurt
    Pretzels
    Peanut Butter
    Cream Cheese
    Crackers
    Rattle
    Turkey
    Chicken
    Apple Juice
    Taco Shells
    Bibs
  • I showed him the test and asked if he could see the lines. Then I gave him the NY Yankee onesies I had made =)

  • I was screaming I'm pregnant from the bathroom, I think that clued him in.

  • I said, "hey, what does that look like to you? I think it means I'm pregnant"
  • I had a Nestie Photoshop an announcement and included it when he asked me to upload new pics to his digital photo frame.  There are a bunch of cheesy/creative ideas in my bio. =)
  • For my first I was testing before I got into the shower and he was leaving for a meeting at work, I looked at the lines and yelled at him to come here!!! He asked "what does this mean?" I told him "what the F do you think it means??" Lovely. My second I tested at my MIL's house and I sat in the bathroom crying...(too soon after first, bc failed). He came in and asked what was wrong, I showed him and he started jumping up and down. My third, I put it on his pillow and when he came home he saw it and started crying. =)
  • Not there yet, but I also want to do something creative so I may borrow my mom's idea from when she found out she was pregnant with me and write my DH a letter from our unborn baby.
    For my family, I want to do one of those Mastercard (I think) ads with a picture of my DH and I and a slogan something like this:
    -Tickets to an Iowa State game: $60
    -Hot dogs at the game: $8
    -Matching t-shirts: $36
    -Realizing there are 3 of us in this picture: Priceless!
