BFP 9dpo...

aimeelynae · April 2009

DH and I went to the store this afternoon to be ready to test Tuesday or Wednesday. The weather has been crazy today, tornados and thunder storms most of the day. The thunder is still rolling through and Dh is asleep, I got anxious and bored so I took one just to see if it would show me anything. DH is still asleep and has no clue yet. We had our first real date may 5 06 and thought it would be neat if i could hold out on telling him until next week but I doubt I will last that long, especially since he is expecting us to test this week.

I'm cautiously excited!!!

That would be sooo cute if you could wait to tell him til then! But if not, I'm sure he'll be super excited anyway you tell him!

Congratulations!!!

almostjones · April 2009

Congrats!!! How could you even consider keeping something this huge from your husband for a week though? If you were going to do that, you should have just waited until the 6th to test...

aimeelynae · April 2009

I know I won't be able to keep it in for an entire week...there is no way lol. I need to think of something before this week is over though in case I can keep it in. He is expecting us to test this week, should I just tell him it might be too early if he asks?

MsNessa · April 2009

Wow! Congrats!

Carrot303 · April 2009

Tell him whenever you want to!! I can't keep a secret/surprise so I know I couldn't do it but lots of people tell their husbands about their BFP in a cute way. It's not as if it's a betrayal if you don't tell him the second the results come back. Congrats!

I don't want to keep it from him but if it involves telling him in an awesome way, I would totally try my hardest to keep it a secret for a few days.

almostjones · April 2009

I would just tell him! I wouldn't be able to keep it from my husband. Waiting a few days to gather blue & pink balloons and onesies and wrap up the pee stick and put buns in the oven just isn't my style...but to each their own.

Yeah, I'm not big on lying.

I wouldn't consider it "lying" if I'm going to tell him in a sweet creative way. Plus, after all we've been through he deserves to be told in a memorable way. Whatever way that is, I'm sure I'll be brainstorming all night since it's still hella stormy out side.

jessiecow · April 2009

any way you tell him will be memorable and special, even if the only reason is because you're pregnant. i got my BFP the other night and ran in our bedroom like a crazy person to tell my hubs, i couldn't imagine holding that feeling in, just saying. i would tell him sooner rather than later, but that's just me!

Congradulations! Yes

i wouldn't consider it 'keeping' it from him, i consider it that you get to tell him in a way neither of you will forget, you can make it special from him. I know when our time comes, that is what i am going to do! even if i have to 'keep it, hide it' whatever for a week or so!

jenny1980 · April 2009

Not to be cliche, but the news itself is special. Particularly with what you guys have gone through, I would just let him know the fabulous news.

Congrats and best of luck for a healthy babe!

I get that any way I tell him is special, but I want to do it differently than just running from just POAS.

Maybe I'll send him a text that says Trav and Aimee +2 or something...a text probably wouldn't be very special, lol, so I better do something else! haha

I agree with this. Call me old school, but I have always fantasized about one day just sharing that moment with my husband. There doesn't have to be any cutesie decoration, card, or onesie. Just the news is special enough. That's just me.

tct1219 · April 2009

congratulations! i agree that it would be difficult to keep it to yourself, but if you want to make it extra special for that day, then go for it!

ilovedesi · April 2009

Congrats! I know I would NEVER be able to wait a week to tell DH such exciting news!

bbjoys · April 2009

Wow, that's early. Congrats!

KellyOsu23 · April 2009

Congrats!

Since he is asleep, how about you create a scavenger hunt or something cute for him to wake up to?

Or if you could sneak out to walmart you could get some little onsies or booties to put in his clothes drawer or shoes

I dont think waiting a week, although it would be special, is a good idea as its not really fair since he is probibly just as excited as you are and you should enjoy this moment together

Melaina25 · April 2009

Congrats, no chance I could wait a week!

JennyAnne022776 · April 2009

Congratulations! I could never wait a week, so hopefully you can come up with something fast! Hope you have a healthy nine months. Big Smile

alpRN · April 2009

Congrats! You can always go ahead and tell him now. I don't think I could hold out. Then you can save the cutesy stuff to tell your parents on mothers day.

Married2MrWright · April 2009

Congrats! Sending you tons of sticky baby dust! I hope you tell your DH soon...maybe the "bun in the oven" is a cute way for you to do it. Some other bumpies have done it that way and it always goes over well for them.

Lil'Misa · April 2009

Congrats ... stick baby stick!

mystic_J · April 2009

Congrats, but please go ahead and tell your DH. It is going to be impossible to not tell him before then.

Me too! ?When I got my BFP, I had grand plans of telling DH in some memorable way. ?Instead, when the word "pregnant" showed up at 5:30 in the morning, I ran into the bedroom, turned on the light and shoved the stick in his face while I sat there and bawled! ?

?Congrats! ?Have fun sharing the news whenever you do it!?

rssnlvr · April 2009

Congrats!

hainesherway · April 2009

This is late, but congrats! Let us know how you end up telling him.

aimeelynae · April 2009

So i couldn't wait a week....when I went to bed last night he woke up as I was getting into bed and all I could think of right away was..."I think I'm pregnant, I took another test"...he said "I knew it!!! You didn't even have to tell me!"

lol...

Aww, I'm glad you told him! I was just reading this whole thread this morning and thinking, "She has to tell him! I hope she tells him!"

Congrats!!
