Haha I don't think mine is patient enough to not be in the bathroom with me. He's already asking me to get some HPTs to have them "in case I need to test" LOL

DH will be waiting impatiently for the 3 minutes to be up- he won't let me test without him there
My mom and sister both know I'm TTC, so I plan to text them both a photo of the BFP right away and await their freaking-out phone calls
. We're going to call my dad (since he doesn't know we're TTC, my mom is good at keeping secrets!), and go see his parents, since they live close by.

Dh has forbidden me from testing without him there. so ain't no keeping it a secret from him.
For my parents, we're telling them early and planning on sending them a grandparents book to fill out, since it would be the first.
i wanted to get a frame that said something like 'i love my daddy' and put a picture of the test in it...however he told me recently that he really wanted to be here when i tested. so we will probably look at the test together.
as for our parents. no idea yet!

For MH, I want him to be there, but I already have a onsie from his favorite soccer team wrapped up and ready to go. If I get my BFP this weekend, the gift will be great since it's our 10 year dating anniversary. I always get something for him, so he wouldn't think anything of it.
For my parents, I plan on making the last page of our wedding scrapbook the announcement. We've been married for a year and a half and it's still not done, so I will tell them it's finally done and let them see for themselves. For DH's parents, I'm not sure yet. We might just go and tell them.

7DPO Progesterone: low. CD3 BW: normal, HSG: clear
DX: severe MFI (low all 3) and low T. Undergoing replacement therapy.
I sincerely hope DH is home when I test, because I am not the best at keeping a lid on good news, and it would be the longest day waiting for him to get home so I can share.
For my parents, DH found this shirt to wear for them:
I plan on timing how long it takes them to figure it out. Knowing my mother, probably all of 5 seconds.
I want him to be there when we finally test.
For my mom though, I plan on getting a worlds greatest grandma frame and sending it to her in the mail with the first sonogram pic in it. And I want to get something for my sister who would be the god mother but not sure what.
There is no way I could do something cute for MH. I would probably be so stunned I would just burst out "OH MY GOD. We are having a baby." So I am saving the cute ideas for announcing to my family
I bought a "I love my Great Grandma" onesie, a "First Grandchild" frame for my parents and a "my aunt loves me" onesie for my sister.
TTC #2
DH will be sleeping, So I'll be waking him up. I think just letting him know he's going to be a daddy is pretty special!
As far as our parents go, I've been toying around with some ideas, but haven't decided on one way or the other yet.
Love it... Thats sooo something my DH would pick out.
I change my mind every other day. Today's thought is to put the pic that I have on my siggy with the due date filled in as his screensaver. I need to get a hold of his computer because I know there is a way to record video so I can see his reaction without having to be there.
If it is this month I may actually get a print out of the pic and put it in a bday card to myself and open it with him at my bday dinner. I will show it to him as if it is something really cute that someone else gave me. Hopefully I can catch that on camera too.

Here We Go Again!!
I want to get DH a willow tree figurines of a man holding a baby. He refuses to hold babies because he wants his own to be the first. Plus the florist down the office strip from me has them.
I would love to get KU this cycle because we are holding x-mas at our house for the first time and both his parents and mine will be there. So I really wanted to do some sort of gift they all open at the same time.
Oddly enough, I haven't thought as much about how or when I'll tell my DH! I imagine he'll be there with me though.
I have, however, put A LOT of thought into how we'll tell our parents. All of our parents live nearby, so we get everyone together for dinner every few months. We'll probably have one of these gatherings, and then give each set of parents a present, which will be a grandparent picture frame, as a way of announcing they're going to be grandparents! My mom and step-dad are the only ones with any grandkids, but they are my step-brother's kids. So all of them should get the hint when they open their gift!

Tons of love and ((hugs)) to my IF sister NMscubagirl
MH will be sleeping when I test. I don't test with him because I decided if it takes a long time, I did not want him to get upset after every negative, and think something was wrong with him. So I test by myself. I have already bought a flightsuit onesie (MH is an Air Force Pilot) and I will lay it out on the bed and wake him up to tell him.
For my mom, we will hopefully suprise her at her work with pink and blue balloons and a note that says "Pink or blue, we will have to see! All I know is Grammy's gonna love me!" I will put the note and a sonogram picture in a frame for her later on.
For my FIL, he is a Pilot too and wears a name patch on his flight suit. I am going to get another name patch for him that says, "Grandpa (our last name)" and say he needs to start wearing this one.
If I get KU this cycle, I will announce to my side of the family around Christmas. Before every family dinner, my grandpa says a prayer with everyone in a circle. I will probably tell him beforehand and have him say something like, "Please bless a new addition to our family...." and everyone can figure it out from there.
Love that!
DH will be with me. He loves rock music, so I thought it would be really cool to get one of those Rock-a-Bye Baby CDs and give it to him, but I don't want to have to keep a secret for longer than 30 seconds.
As for everyone else, I don't want to make a big production of it. SIL was effing obnoxious about it. She gave us all "early Christmas presents" and it was a card with her ultrasound pic in it. Oh, you being smug and even more cranky than usual for the next 9 months, great, what a nice gift.
Then at every family gathering for the rest of the holidays, she would get everyone's attention to tell them that she had "one last gift for everyone." I had to sit through thatshit 3 times.
So basically, I'm going to do the opposite of that. And I kind of want to wait until after 1st tri.

My DH will definatly be in the bathroom with me, I just hope he can keep it from his folks because I want to wait awhile to tell both sets. As far as my parents, they are "Gram" and "Poppy" to my nieces and nephew so I thought about putting a box of graham crackers and a box of poppyseed muffin mix in a gift bag and just wait to see how long it takes them to get it.
