  Hi it's me! Kicking things off. I haven't told hubby yet (have a plan for this weekend). Last year we were pregnant and it was a complete surprise -- I told him right away and didn't take any time to prepare since I was in shock. It didn't stick (chemical pregnancy, lost between wk 6-7) but since then we got engaged, moved in together and got married and I'm so excited to tell him. Does anyone else have a cute story about how you told your partner?

  @ec1212 - for our first baby I bought a pair of NE Patriots (his favorite football team) baby shoes and gave them to him when I found out. Of course we had been trying for a while so I had to hide them for 10 months . This time I just shoved the pee stick at him and told him to go get me some tylenol so I could get rid of my headache 
  
  ETA: I'm sorry for your previous loss but also congratulations on this one. Fingers crossed this one sticks!

  thanks so much!! I'm a huge Pats fan myself (living in NY, so it's a tough life). Love the difference between your #1 & #2 haha!!

  This is my first pregnancy! It was our second month trying and I’m still so shocked and excited! I am thinking I will be so anxious about loss until the first ultrasound but will be encouraged by all my symptoms until then!

  @ec1212 With our first I gave DH a box with a batman onesie, the stick, and a Best Dad Ever mug.  But like @gusgus14 this time I just wanted out and handed him the stick and then proceeded to explain to him what it meant (men can be wonderful)
