    I found a non-alcoholic version of our favorite wine that we've used to toast our engagement, wedding, and most Thursday nights, so I'm wanting to make a label to go over it and present it to him when we get our BFP. There's an adorable Etsy shop that makes cute little stick-on wine labels but I can't decide what to put on it. Maybe "T + P = 3" (our initials) with a baby carriage underneath? Anyone with suggestions?

    DH walked in on me crying in the bathroom and said, "Are you pregnant". "Umm Yea". The he said, "Don't cry we are going to have a cool kid"

    So DS was not planned but everyday since then has been a blessing. This time around he sees me POAS so no hiding anything there!

    For our first BFP I went out and bought a blank card.
    On the front I wrote "We need to talk.." on the inside I wrote "Look up!"
    As I walked into the door, I gave him the card and as soon as he looked up I held up the pregnancy test at eye level, smiled and said "I'm pregnant."

    I have absolutely no clue what I'll do the second time around.

    My H is a big fisher man and golfer. I think if it happens, I want to incorporate it into something with that. I have thought about mabe getting him a lure and writing on it, or buying a small fishing hat with a tag that says "future fishing buddy".  Or putting the positive pee stick in a new box of golf balls.

    I have all these ideas, but I am sure when it happens I will be a total idiot and just cry and look at him like a fool. Story of my life.

    He came in with me when I took the test, so he knew when I knew.

    These ideas are so cute! I want to say id do something memorable like buy a cake that says "congrats on making a human with your genitals" (google it, its real!) But id probably just cry a lot haha

    I just pretty much told my hubs last time we were pregnant. Nothing special. 

    This time I want to do a picture. It will have DS in his police pedal car in his little uniform I made him with a sign that says "Every hero needs back-up". Then I want to get (or borrow) a fire truck pedal car and put a sign on it that says "Staging until Month/year"

    DH is an officer and I was a firefighter. We have lots of banter between us about fire/police. He always comments that all fire does is stage on calls and never actually responds. So fire is staging for 9 months. Hehe. :P

    Yup. DS is Tommy Pickles! Nothing like living with an escape artist.
    Just another cloth diapering, baby wearing mama.

    I didn't do anything creative the first time, just showed him the test. The second time, I woke him up and told him, "I took a test and I think you'll be interested in the results."

    I'd like to do something cute next time around but we'll see how things go. I did just pick up some cheap alphabet magnets from Target so I could put a message on the fridge. Or we just got a "best brother ever" shirt for our son whenever it becomes relevant, so I could snap a pic of him in the shirt.

    I'm not really into elaborate announcements, though, generally.
