How did/would you announce?

Even though we did IVF, I was able to surprise DH with my positive test.

My BT was scheduled for the Wednesday, but Monday morning I had to go to the shops for work. I decided to buy a test to prepare myself for Wednesday's result.

I didn't tell DH I was testing and didn't want to tell him it was positive over the phone. There was no way i could wait until he got home from work so I grabbed my wallet, phone and the test, yelled to my receptionist that I was going out for a while.

I drove into the City and called DH from outside his work and asked him to come outside. He walked out thinking I was going to tell him AF had arrived. He got in the car and asked what was wrong. I told I wanted to show him something, as we often joked that pg tests with 2 lines didn't really exist. I handed him the positive test and we both promptly burst into tears.

It was an awesome moment and tear up every time I retell the story.

For DH he was right there with me when I tested. Well not in the bathroom but you get what I mean..

Yeh me too, for both. Though for DD, I did the test, left it in the bathroom, then went about my business and it was DH who went and checked it and said "it's positive!" and I didn't believe him!!!

With DS, DH had already decided I was pg (he has his own way of testing ) so it wasn't a surprise really!

Yea I'm hoping to do the same. DH knows my blood test is on fri, so i'm hoping i get something before that so i can still surprise him. unfortuantly my parents are coming to visit (actually good they are coming to visit) but they will be here the day i have to do my blood test...so i cant really surprise them properly, cause they will know i will have my results that afternoon..

With DS, DH had already decided I was pg (he has his own way of testing ) so it wasn't a surprise really!

DH recons he has his own way of testing too, with his ex he said he knew before her for a majority, but i think because i am expecting it ill get it before his test will work =P

I always used to buy DH little gifts of chocolate so when I found out I was pg I got a gift bag and filled it with funsize kit-kats and my positive pregnancy test. He was so excited with his chocolates that he didn't really see the pg test and while eating the chocolate saw it in there and was like 'what's this?' with chocolate in his mouth LOL then he figured it out. With my parents I told them in person, with friends two found out by accidentally finding my positive tests, and my two best friends I called and told the news

With my first, we told at Christmas dinner as all my family were there. We wrote a little poem & stuck it inside the bon bons - it's a very funny memory!

I wore a "baby on board" sign and stood up in a skype conversation to tell my folks about dd, DH was there for testing.
DS I tested by myself and rang him to say "I just wanted to tell the father of my children that I love him" blubber blubber.
It's so much fun.
You could get daddy merchandise. Some very cute stuff around. Go on a date and present him with a pressie. A reality tv couple, maybe farmer wants a wife? Got a box and put three peas inside as they had always said they were two peas in a pod. Cute... Apparently so the woman's mag told me (must be true) he know straight away.
Keep daydreaming! I too dreamt of it for a long time and it was even mote awesome than id dreamt.

DD1 I tested and went to our room (we had a friend staying) I yelled to dp, he came in and I cried then we left for after hours
We called our parents (mine didn't live close) and his mum didn't believe us

DD2 I left the test in the laundry, dp came out and said to DD your going to be a big sister, I barked for hours.

I was SO not expecting a positive test. I'd done it on a whim at 11dpo, DF was t his mothers building a fence. I saw the second line, almost vomitted, then rang DF. I just couldn't wait. I said something like, "You need to come home." And he was like "why?" and I said, "because I'm pregnant." We were both shocked. I heard DF call out to MIL, "It's lily, she found another mouse." (we had a mouse a week before) and he came home where we just cuddled. Told BB, then my mum, then everyone else via FB. This was all by about 5 weeks Didn't tell MIL until 12 or 13 weeks.

I have a thing for only testing with FMU, so unfortunately for DH I had to pee at 4:30am which then resulted in him being woken by my throwing the lights on and jumping on the bed waving a pee-stick in his face!

For the parents, we bought a baby photo frame and instead of a picture it had "Coming in March 2010, Baby C......" inside.

And finally, we met friends of ours out for dinner. We made sure we got there first and put place cards on the table reading "Aunty B....." and "Uncle D....." They loved it! I really liked that one too
