Creative Ways to Tell Him We're Expecting??

agbaeb

Ok, I'm not pregnant yet. Let's put that right out there for those of you who know me in person. We're just planning for "soon" and I'd like some ideas before I get there on how to tell Adam (my husband) that we're expecting.

Thoughts?

Put a bun in your oven along with the pregnancy test.

My friend found out right before Christmas. She gave her husband a card that said Merry Christmas Daddy, See You In 9 Months.

Of course this would only work if you found out around fathers day and it was your first child - but my friend gave her husband a fathers day present when she found out she was expecting their first.

her present to him was a picture frame that said worlds greatest dad with a copy of the first sonogram (she got that done without him being there, obviously)

This was to tell the grandparents, but I thought it was super cute.

A friend of mine had a calendar made with various photos of the family. When they presented it to the grandparents, they made sure they went through to look at each month's photo and the birthdays of the family members that they put in there. And they added their baby's due date in there too, of course. They recorded all of this and it was the cutest darned thing.

I'm sorry, and I'll probably sound like a *****, but I was trying to remember how I told my guy. It's been a long time, but I remembered.

It was tax time and I had gotten the tax booklets at the post office. I brought them in to him and when I put them down on the table, I told him something like "we'd have a/another deduction next year". Something like that.

This reminds me of a panel show, where one of the comedians said that his best friend had found out via facebook that his girlfriend was pregnant. She tagged him in the scan.

Okay, so this one is in-depth. It will involve you, his best friend, and around $28,000 cash.

First, flip the circuit breaker on your apartment. Oh yeah, you have to live in an apartment. This part is important. Go up to the roof of the apartment and comment that it is cold. Tell him to hold you.

In the meantime, your husband's best friend will, with a spare key, enter your apartment and begin to trash all of your best stuff. Pissing on the couch, spilling leftovers into the carpet, and stealing $28,000 from the secret stash.

A few minutes into being held in his arms, tell him that you wish you had a blanket or shawl. He'll return inside to find his apartment a mess. Sneak up behind him and yell, "This is what this place will be like all the time, just nine months from now!" Smile and show how excited you are.

His best friend can come out of hiding in the corner now and ask for your husband's golf clubs--he'll never be able to play again--and his X-Box. They'll share a look and the friend will say something like, "Dude, we'll still be here for you" even though both of them know that the friendship is effectively over.

Now you two can reflect on what you've introduced into the world around you.

My wife wrapped the two positive tests into a jewelry box for me. When I opened it I thought to myself, "how in the hell is her telling me she is diabetic a present?'.

I saw this in an airport and it made me tear up a little. There was a couple in their 30s who had a big sign that said "Welcome Grandma!" and I kept expecting an old lady to come walking off the airplane but it was actually a woman who was in her 60s and just started crying tears of joy and saying "I'm gonna be a grandma?"

It was so sweet. When you do become pregnant, you could make a sign and hang it in the house saying "Welcome home dad".

I am not sure just yet, but I'm beginning to think I love you.

Smoking is a dirty habit. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, no matter how cool it makes him or her look.

Change your cell phone settings to yell "YOU ARE NOT THE FATHER" in Maury Povitch's voice when he calls. Have him call where he can hear. Then say "Just kidding. You totally are."

I have a friend who wrote on her belly, "Hi Daddy!" She told her husband that she thought there was a weird lump on her belly, and she wanted him to check it. And then, voila, he saw the little message! Simple, but cute.

I showed my husband the stick. He said F***, and walked out the door for work.

We're divorced.

Hang little shoes from his mirror before he goes to work.



My wife had a couple ideas but we had to have science help us out so it kind of took the fun out of it.
