How will you tell DH?

SoonToBeMrsDoctorDan · July 2010

I finished my assignment for class and was playing around on the internet, did a search for "Baby Doctor" and came up with all sorts of adorable baby scrubs. I want to get the little scrubs with personalization and give them to DH as a "gift" and tell him when he opens them. His crazy shift work has been a factor in our ttc and he's worried he won't be at important pre-natal appointments so I thought it would be a nice way to show he's involved.

What ideas do you have for telling DH about the BFP?

foolishmortal999 · July 2010

This something that I think about sometimes but nothing good has come to me yet.

I'll probably think of something when the time comes.

PharmacyQueen · July 2010

I honestly will probably jump up and down and hardly be able to get it out! I think he will know, or just think I am crazy! Stick out tongue

I love hearing all the cute ideas! However, I know that DH will be watching the stick become positive/negative with me. With DS we took the test together.

kje120 · July 2010

He's a HUGE Dallas Cowboys fan and I thought about getting some little Cowboys onsie or something. But I'll probably end up just running out of the bathroom yelling "Woo hoo! We're having a baby!"

Mysh · July 2010

In the past I have just waved a pee stick in his face and squealed, but this time I think I'm just going to surprise him by letting him figure it out on his own as my belly grows.

Ciaram22 · July 2010

I'm not quite sure how I'm going to tell DH yet. I may just have him be there when I take the test and see the result with me.

niceybee05 · July 2010

I bought a "baby's 1st Dodger shirt" months ago (which now haunts me) so i will wrap that up and I also bought a plain tshirt and iron-on printing paper so i can make DS a shirt that says "Big brother" and he can go to my DH and give him the gift wearing the shirt.

I will not buy DS a "big bro" shirt because i don't want it to remind me he can't wear it yet =(

Hello everyone..

Although DH and I are pretty new to the TTC world. I think of this a lot. I like the PP will probebly have hubby right there looking at the stick. I think I am more excited on how to tell our parents...

MySweetBaboo · July 2010

The first time, I was screaming and shaking and running all over the house and showed it to him. The 2nd time I texted him. The next time, hopefully he will be with me.

I did buy dd a personalized "I'm going to be a big sister" dress this last time and I may do something with that. We were going to have her wear it to tell family, but didn't get the chance to.

mdiblasi10 · July 2010

I don't think I could wait to do anything cute for my husband. I would be way too excited to wait And he is always asking when it's that time.

But I did have a custom onesie made for my Grandma. It says "I love my Great Grandma." It's hard to find Great Grandma stuff. I can't wait to give that to her. It will be her first Great Grandchild and since my Grandpa passed away in June (cancer, way too young), everyone is excited for this kind of news to put a big smile on her face.

IDK how I will tell MH when the time comes. But this is one of my favorite stories of hearing the sex of the baby: When my old boss and his wife found out she was pregnant she thought of a creative way of telling him the sex of the baby. For whatever reason he wasn't at the appt. when she found out but she wanted to tell him in a fun way. He's a huge basketball fan so she bought two mini basketballs (because they were having twins) and put them in a box. When she gave them to him he started jumping up and down screaming MY BOYS! And then she told him to turn them around and when he did they said WNBA lol

AnneMo123 · July 2010

I don't think any plan I make now will stick. I will likely get very emotional. I have been trying to think of a fun way to tell our parents...

youngin12 · July 2010

Pretty sure I'll say something like "thanks for knocking me up". J/K but I will just wave a pee stick in his face.

Melissa2216 · July 2010

I bought MH various "themed" candy a couple months back: Sugar Babies, Baby Ruth, Sour Patch Kids, etc. I will probably have to buy fresher candy when the time comes, lol. Although to be honest, I really don't know if I will be able to contain myself--I may just blurt it out and show him the pee stick!

Nikkoli110 · July 2010

I've got a few ideas....one is to buy the "Future Red Sox Fan" shirt that has it on the belly and just start wearing it around the house one day and when he asks what it is tell him. The other, which will probably be the one because I'll be so excited is to buy the Little Red Sox Fan bib and show him it when he gets home from work or something, I don't think I'll be able to hold it in long!

For our family I saw a few videos online, one was at a family cookout, they are ready to pose for a picture, and the dad to be is taking it on video, and says "OK, everybody say "____'s pregnant!" and then they kind of flip out.

Hotomale · July 2010

With DS I was soo worried I was reading the stick wrong I took like 4 tests and DH was the one convincing me that I was KU.

JenWen3 · July 2010

I think I'll just say "Hey honey, I'm pregnant!" then hope this one sticks.

LOL

I'm beyond the point of being cutesy. I think I'll just be too overwhelmed with happiness to be creative. I think we'll do something creative for the parents instead.

disneyfan0511 · July 2010

I found a really cute onesie off Etsy that says "I love my Daddy" - I am hoping I can keep it together and leave it for him when he comes home from work. But I probably will just blurt it out right away and not be able to contain my excitement.

sunandsurfmama · July 2010

He will be standing outside the door, so not much of a chance for surprising him....

I would have waiting longer to POAS last time, had be not made me do it sooner.

blackbird01 · July 2010

With DS, DH was actually the first one to look at the HPT. This time around, I've always tested with him home except for one time. If I did happen to test and get a BFP when he's not home, I might try to find some sort of "big brother" shirt for DS and give that to him to tell him.

Heather & Nayt · July 2010

At this point, I will probably just hand him the HPT and start crying. I use to have all sorts of cute ideas, but I will be so happy that I will forget about all of them!

MrsSparklesMcGee · July 2010

I have a cutesy idea based on one of our inside jokes, but I think I'll probably just end up screaming and crying right out of the bathroom. He'd pick up on that

How cute.. I may have to steal it as a way to tell MH large family with out hurting any feelings cause we told so and so first..

hahahahahaha!

gorby007 · July 2010

We've decided to test when we're together so he will be there with me. If he isn't, he's still sleeping in bed (I usually wake up before him and I ALWAYS have to pee). I will wake him up ASAP

haha it rhymes!

Me too!! DH looked at me like "what is wrong with you??" lol. And I do think its a great way to tell everyone at once, I'd love to get everyone's reactions because they have been waiting for me to get pregnant for 2 years! Especially my mom, she'll freak!

Nikkoli110 · July 2010

This was the one I have seen a few times...

This exactly, except he's a Redskins fan.
