I bought a "big brother" shirt for DS when we started TTC but didn't tell DH about it. He was away on business when I got the positive test, so when he came home a few days later we greeted him at the airport with DS wearing the shirt. It was a fun way to tell him!
We no kids so I purchased a $2 onezee from walmart and ironed on a logo that said I am going to be a big sister and put it on my dog. She is a tiny yorkie so the onezee was way too big for her. When my hubby came home the dog greeted him at the door as usual and although my dog wears doggie clothes all the time but his attention was drawn to it b/c it was way too big for my doggie. He read it and crinkled his face then he went "wait, are you pregnant?!" Lol I still have the onzie...maybe I will put it on this kid for the next one.

Right after getting the BFP, I drew a picture with my 17 month old son (he scribbled all over it, I drew the picture) of our family-- Daddy, Mommy, DS, and Baby #2 Due May 2011. DS took it to him while he was sleeping and he did a double take as he said "oh that's such a nice picture!". It was priceless!!!
A month before we got our BFP, I had purchased bibs for our family members and also one for my husband, "I love Daddy". So with the positive test in hand and bib in other, I woke him up before going to work. He rubbed his eyes and asked if it was positive and I said "Yes!" It was such a nice moment! This is also how we told our parents with "I love Grandma" and "I love Grandpa" bibs.
