they have really cute ideas if you google it, it's from babycenter so you might have to search a little bit, it's pages and pages and pages long lol but they have really good ideas. i'd try to find the link for you but we're not allowed to post links of websites with other forums, but just google and you'll find quite a bit!

I won't be much help either. I told my husband over the phone. I was 3 days late and took a test one day at work. The line was very faint, so I took another the next morning with my first morning urine. It came up positive right away. My husband was already at work and I wanted to be 100% sure. So I went to the doctor that morning and he confirmed it, then I had to wait till noon to talk to my husband. I REALLY wanted to wait until we were face to face, but I was to excited to wait!!!!!

Good luck to you!

i was the worst with this one. he had the day off for his birthday and we went for lunch. i had been telling him i thought i might be pregnant and he kept brushing it off saying 'nah can't be' until i insisted we pick up a test. well, after we bought them we had to stop at my sisters for cake and ice cream because my niece wanted to blow out the candles for him and sing happy birthday. so i couldn't wait any longer. i went upstairs to the bathroom at my sisters and did the test in there and it was positive. i almost fainted because it was so unplanned, lol. then when i came downstairs he took one look at me and knew. we both must have looked like we had seen a ghost or something because even my sister and mom caught on and my sister was like "you're pregnant aren't you!!" i could have killed her Laughing . but now we are so happy about it and can't wait for baby to arrive. i wish i had a nice romantic story to tell but oh well. maybe next time, lol.

good luck with your announcement. i hope it goes a lot better than mine. Wink

i didn't really do anything cute.

the first time it had taken 8 months to get pregnant and by then we'd assumed something was wrong and we joked around saying he must be sterile. i tested by myself and it was positive, later we were snuggling in bed and i said "i have a secret... you're not sterile". that was followed by about 10 minutes of him saying "wow... really?... wow...". that ended in a miscarriage.

the next time i was so scared because of the miscarriage, i didn't even want to say it out loud. i ended up getting him a card and writing this long mushy love letter and i ended it with "and i can only hope that you're as excited about our second chance at having a baby as i am" (or something like that). then i watched him read it and he was all "awww" through the whole thing and then we got to the end he gasped a huge gasp. that card is now framed and hanging in our kitchen.

for the next one i will do something cute, like have finn wearing an "i'm going to be a big brother" shirt when nick gets home from work. we'll probably do something like that for my parents too, then send a picture of finn wearing the shirt to nick's parents.

let us know what you do! i like hearing creative ideas!
