Hi
this is Kendra Spencer for
http://www.shoppingfortwo.com, a website devoted to baby shopping. I
wanted to share with you today some fun and creative ways to tell your
husband that you are pregnant. Words can’t describe the feeling you get
when you see that pregnancy test turn positive for the first time.
You
waited weeks, months, maybe years to see this result and you can’t wait to
tell your husband. You could just run into him screaming the news that you
are pregnant or you can take the extra steps to make this momentous moment
even that more special. Here are some creative ways to tell him that you
are expecting.
The
easiest way to your mans heart (food) - and this is definitely the way to go
– wrap up your positive pregnancy test like a little present and present it
to him over his favorite meal. If your husband is an outgoing type – take
him to his favorite restaurant and have the maitre d bring the gift to the
table after you finish dinner.
Your
husband can share his jubilation with the patrons and staff who will be
thrilled for you. Chances are they might even include dessert on the house,
you’re eating for two now so indulge. If you think your husband would
prefer a more intimate setting, cook his favorite dinner & set the table
with the good china that you have never had the occasion to use. Why not
recreate how your husband proposed marriage to you but instead propose
fatherhood?
Take
him back to where he popped the question and recreate the scene, instead of
a ring box hand him a bracelet box with your positive pregnancy test inside
and ask will you be our baby’s father? Another idea is to sneak out of bed
early one morning and put a batch of cinnamon buns in the oven to bake,
don’t worry about baking from scratch the pre-prepared refrigerated ones
from the grocery store will be just fine.
When
your husband wakes up and smells this wonderful aroma, announce to him honey
we’ve got a bun in the oven. Announce your pregnancy to your husband with a
souvenir he can keep on his desk. Take a picture of your positive pregnancy
test and frame it with the words positive proof that in nine months you will
be the best dad around, just wait you’ll see. There is no doubt about it,
men love printed t-shirts.
This
can usually be the vain of us women, this can finally work in our favor.
Give him a gift of a t-shirt that says soon to be the world’s best dad and
watch his face light up. Is your husband in charge of the family finances?
Buy him a piggy bank and put a note around its neck that says our baby’s
college fund, only 18 years and 9 months to save. Put this on his dresser
and wait for him to find it. Don’t be surprised if he comes running to you
with a big hug and a new household budget.
Does
your husband have a sweet tooth? Cater to his craving with your special
message. Pick up your husbands favorite Chinese take out and swap out the
fortune cookie message with your own message that says you will be a dad on
and put your due date. Or have a fun afternoon at the paint your own
pottery store and make him an ice cream bowl that at the bottom says you’re
going to be a dad. Fill it up with his favorite ice cream that night and
watch his reaction when he gets to the bottom.
Are
you computer savvy? These days making movies and picture slide shows on
your home computer are so user friendly. You can create a truly memorable
pregnancy announcement by editing together some of your favorite photos and
home movies together with a final message announcing to your husband that
you are pregnant and burn it to a CD. Pop a bowl of popcorn for your
husband to eat as you watch this new favorite flick. No matter how you say
it with humor, romance or drama tell your husband that he is going to be a
dad will no doubt be a memorable event in both your lives. Good luck and
congratulations.
