Have you bought...

NicoleMarie12 · February 2010

items, I guess you could say, for the "reveal" when you get your BFP for DH? Bibs? Onesies? Etc. I have not done so yet, but I have my eye on something... Is it putting the cart before the horse to buy something "just in case" you get your BFP?

gymnst1013 · February 2010

I guess I'm too jaded at this point - MH will find out just by me telling him. No cutsie things for us. I'm not into cutsie anyway.

maleigh101 · February 2010

I have a onesie that says I love daddy that I have hidden in a drawer. I don't really think its cart before the horse because when I do get a BFP and it stays there this time, I'm going to be way too excited to tell DH that I won't bother running to the store to get something. I would end up yelling it to him right away. So now that I have something already waiting I'll be sure to be more creative with it.

McMrs · February 2010

I have a baby on board sign I was going to wrap up and give DH after I got a bfp. I was going to tell him I bought him something for his car. (he loves his car). I'm not sure if he'd ever actually put it up when we have a baby, but it was just the thought of 'baby on board'.

He's told me since I bought it that he wants to be there when I test, so I probably won't be doing that.

Babydust08 · February 2010

I will probably just tell my DH (or he will be there with me). But I have thought about things for telling my the grandparents and such. Like onesies or if you can hold out, a picture frame with an ultrasound picture. Woah, I'm getting way to ahead of myself right now.

Newlywed120509 · February 2010

I haven't yet, but I think that is what I am going to do when my time comes. I think it is a great way for me to tell my DH. That's just me though. Smile

FredAndCat · February 2010

I haven't bought anything. I don't think I will either. I will probably just wake DH up when/if I get a BFP some morning.

Newlywed120509 · February 2010

**Papps**:

Meh, I think I'll just shove the pee stick in his face

I think just getting a BFP will make us excited at this point

Edit. I do think its a cute idea though.. my sister did something like this (but had her 2 yr old son wear it instead.

Made me giggle Big Smile

JulyBride_2008 · February 2010

I did buy a "My Dad is a Rockstar" binky set, I gave that to DH when we found out we were pregnant last time, we miscarried shortly after we found out. So granted there is a next time... I'll probably just tell him. It's a really cute idea to get him a little something though! There's a cute book "My boys can swim" It's a guide to pregnancy from the guys point of view- it's pretty funny. That would be a good gift.

lmj8284 · February 2010

i've been thinking about this! i originally wanted to get DH a big cookie decorated with "suprise...you're gonna be a daddy!" on it. but that means i'll have to keep the secret all day long. i might get a cute onsie or something and stash it just in case i can't keep it in.

Ya Never Know · February 2010

I'm not really in to the "suprise I'm pregnant" thing with DH. We already know we're trying, and I'm sure he can't help but notice when I'm testing each month. I'll probably just run out of the bathroom with my pee stick flailing and tell him. LOL

heathercara · February 2010

I have a maternity shirt that says Knocked Up that I bought in all my excitement a year and a half ago. I think it has moth holes now

ConnCottager · February 2010

I think I'll just tell DH. We'll probably get creative when we tell the family, they don't know we're trying.

This. The times I had a BFP I didn't do anything cute, and I don't plan on doing anything the next time.

MySweetBaboo · February 2010

I have not, and I did not with dd. I was too shocked and busy screaming his name, looking all over the house trying to find him! lol I think it is a sweet idea though!

We did buy Pink I love Grandma & Grandpa bibs and pink booties when we found out the sex and gave them to the grandparents in gender neutral baby sacks. Their faces were priceless.

I probably won't do it when baby #2 comes along, since he'll most likely be with me when I test!

Good luck, and I don't think it is putting the cart before the horse. It is an exciting time.

NicoleMarie12 · February 2010

DH is a huge basketball fan, played in high school, coached, etc. He always talks about how excited he is to play basketball with baby, regardless of gender, someday. I thought this might be cute to give him when/if announcing BFP:

Daddy's Future Hoops Star Baby Infant Bodysuit

staycee · February 2010

I bought onesies to have on hand to "surprise" DH with. By the time I finally got my BFP 17 cycles later, I had completely forgotten about the onesies and where I had stashed them.

Also there was no big reveal. I was so freaked and shaking that I woke him up at 5am and stuck the pee stick in his face.

(I remembered the onesies about 2 weeks after BFP)

LiLnikkiMe · February 2010

i didn't, i just told him because he knew i was testing.

MaybeBaby2 · February 2010

Nope. I didn't with DD and I won't with another pregnancy.

Jewlz018 · February 2010

DH and I RECENTLY discussed this. I thought I might do something cutsie, but he is very adament that he wants to be there when I POAS. Well not right there...LOL but you catch my drift.

I think that is cute though that he wants to share in the moment with me (whenever it happens).

penner6906 · February 2010

I think that's a cute idea! Since our nursery theme will be Tigger (I've collected them for years!), I will get one of them off the shelf and have Tigger hold the "pee stick" and sit on the bed for DH to see. I'm usually up before him, so it should work out.

LnR70707 · February 2010

I bought something back in July. It is sitting in the bottom of a drawer.

Ditto.

mchupie · February 2010

I've bought lots of cute things, but not for a "reveal" or anything. If/when I get a + test, I'm just going to jump in bed with DH and wake him up screaming.

This excatly lol!

pook1105 · February 2010

i bought a big brother shirt for my DS to wear but i don't know if it will fit him now.

ah&gg08 · February 2010

I have bought a bid that says I love my Daddy that I am going to give to DH wehnever I get my BFP.

magnolia_femme · February 2010

I won't do anything cute. I'm too superstitious to buy anything before I get a BFP

KJKNAJ · February 2010

I bought a Big Sister tee-shirt for DD in the Carters sale for $5. I am worried about the cart before the horse thing, for sure. I hope I haven't jinxed myself, or that DD doesn't outgrow it soon (likely). But I am excited to just have her in it one afternoon and see how long it takes DH to notice.

I LOVE this idea! Think I'm going to go take a look for it.

canthardlywait426 · February 2010

I bought a shirt that says "Worlds Greatest Dad" only because DH wants to be surprised. Otherwise i would just shove the stick in his face and say "look!"

lesullenger · February 2010

I know what I want to do but I dont want to get the onesie before I get the BFP.. to me thats going to be something special for that day!

A friend bought DH this one after we announced our BFP. He loved at the time!

ishka338 · February 2010

I have 2 things already. A onsie from DH's favorite soccer team and a bandana for our furbaby that we'll use to tell my IL's. I don't htink it's really a cart before the horse thing...just excitment! GL to all!

Jill070707 · February 2010

I'll just tell him. I don't like the idea of making it seem like a gift for him or something - he had just as much part of it as I did (well, not really with the fertility treatments, but you know what I mean). I can see why people get all creative, but that's just NMS.

circe811 · February 2010

I (very recently) purchased an all-in-one cloth diaper. I plan to wrap the HPT up in the diaper and after he sees it, make some kind of comment about how this is the only diaper he's going to want to open. Smile

roonie26 · February 2010

I don't have anything for DH. I don't think I could hide anything long enough for a surprise. I do have something for my grandmother though. She's been asking when we are going to get pregnant from the time we got married. I'm going to wear a shirt that says "yes I am" and wait for her to notice it.

cera.rn · February 2010

i found a onsie that says "i would rather be fishing with my daddy"...it is hidden until the time comes...
