How should I tell my husband we're expecting?

We already have kids - but I just found out we're expecting again! Looking for a creative way (perhaps at Christmas) to tell him the good news. Thanks.How should I tell my husband we're expecting?
Buy a bib that says ';my daddy loves me'; and put it in a gift bag for him to open up on Christmas.How should I tell my husband we're expecting?
Get a ';Baby's First Christmas'; outfit (in the size your baby will be wearing next Christmas) and put it in a box under tissue paper. Then put a note in the box that says something like ';one more for Christmas next year'; or ';this will be filled by something special next year.'; Wrap up the box in pretty Christmas paper and let him open it on Christmas! I wish I could have used Christmas to tell my partner that we were expecting! Good luck with your pregnancy!
You could make or buy him a card or gift ';from Baby.'; Maybe something that would catch him off guard for the surprise factor would be fun. My husband and I are expecting our first and I was so nervous that I just called him into the bathroom and showed him the test...and then we tested again twice. :) Good luck and congrats!
I would wrap a positive pregnancy test (with the top cap on of course) in a box with a big bow and let him open it. For this to work you might need to take in the day before or right before you give it to him so that it is still showing. I know they start fading after a week or two. Some do anyways. Good Luck and i think it is great that you are thinking of something thoughtful to do.
how old are your other kids...I would do the shirt thing... where your kids wear shirts that say something like...';oops my daddy did it again...'; and then very small underneath written is ';my Mommy's having a baby';.... I think that is so cute...!! If you dont have time to get one online Walmart has iron on letters... just get a white Tshirt and make it yourself!! Or you could stuff a stocking for him with things like..bottles, bibs, baby socks, etc... Personally I am TTC and when I do I am using the shirt thing...
you should buy some baby clothes and wrap them and let your husband open them on christmas morning and he should get the idea.thats what i would do but i mean i dont have kids so you know.
If you have an ultrasound picture already, then get it copied and put it in a frame. Wrap it up and put it under the christmas tree and just make sure you get to see when he opens it!
First of all congrats!





I think you should have stocking for everyone in the family, and put a baby item on each so they can all wonder why and im sure you're husband will be the first to get it!
I would buy a card that says ';Congratulations'; and tape the pee stick in there. Or, you can buy a shirt that says ';Daddy'; and hand it to him.
1st time: I just left the PT stick on the counter and let him find it - He Cried!!!





2nd time: I couldn't stop smiling - he asked what's up - I tossed him the PT stick - and he was happier this time!
How about a special romantic dinner for just the two of you. With all the hustle and bustle that this time of year brings.....I bet you both could use some ';alone'; time! Congratulations!
Give him a baby blanket or rattle wrapped up as a present. When he opens it, if he looks confused, say 'Oh, I'm sorry I meant to wrap that up for our new baby'; :)
Tell him there's not just a turkey in the oven.......
text him of course...its christmas time, nothing says christmas like a...hey baby you knocked me up again text....
