We had been trying to conceive for over 3 years, and I had it all thought out about how I wanted to tell him if the news was ever good. I got the phone call from the IVF clinic (as I'd been there to have a blood pregnancy test that morning) and the news was good. I had it all planned that I would get my hubby a card with a picture of a baby on it, and on the inside I would write, "to my Dad, I can't wait to meet you" and I put a pair of booties inside also.
When I got off the phone, I went outside and DH was home early from work, so I dodged him and went to the shops and got the card and booties. I wrote on the card in the car and when I got home, he was in the driveway (after mowing the lawn) and I just walked up to him and gave him the card and he kept saying to me "what's this" and "what is it" and I just kept saying "just open it and you'll find out" so he did, and we just stood there looking at each other crying. He was so happy that he couldn't get his words out properly, he was flabbergasted!!
