[H1683]How To Tell Your Husband

by Brain, Bra

Thinking up creative ways to tell your husband that you are pregnant is always fun. There are endless unique ideas of how to tell him that you are expecting and they make the occasion so much more memorable. Take the time to tell your husband that you are pregnant in one of these creative ways and you'll have a great story to tell your child when they grow up.

Paint Job
Make a quick run to the hardware store to pick up blue and pink paint swatches. Tape them to the wall in your future nursery and when your husband gets home bring him into the room and ask him which color would look better in this room.

Shop-a-holic
Does your husband know you for always coming home with new shopping bags? This time come home with a new maternity outfit, try it on and say, "How do you think this looks on me? Of course it doesn't fit quite yet, but in another nine months it will!"

Baby Blog
Are you two habitual bloggers? Starting a new blog to chronicle your pregnancy can be a great way to keep long distance friends and family up to date. Make your first post a picture of your positive pregnancy test then make sure to send the link to your husband first to let him know of your new adventure!

Grocery List
Call your husband at work and ask if he wouldn't mind stopping at the store on his way home. Tell him you need some; saltines, ginger ale, decaf coffee, pickles and ice cream, non alcoholic beer, prenatal vitamins etc... If he still doesn't get it add to the list some Parenting magazines, diapers, and baby food.

Vacation Time
Get out the calendar and tell your husband that you were hoping he could take a few weeks off in about nine months. Tell him you have a luxurious stay at your local hospital booked, complete with sleepless nights and regular bouts of spit up on your shoulders scheduled.

Rearview Mirror
If your husband is the first to leave for work sneak into his car and hang a pair of baby booties off the rear view mirror.

Sexy Mama
Who says you have to tell your husband that you're pregnant in an innocent way? Try some 'Sexy Mama' undies to announce the news.

Pink and Blue Dessert
Ask your local baker to frost a few sugar cookies with pink and blue icing (if you don't have time to do it yourself) and bring them on a plate to your husband after dinner. Let him choose if he thinks you are pregnant with a boy or girl.

Prayer time
If you and your husband say a nightly prayer together make sure to slip in a, "Bless our growing baby" and wait for the happy exclamations from your husband.

Kiss the Baby
Before your husband gives you his good night kiss tell him to 'make sure to kiss the baby goodnight too' and point to your belly.

However you may tell your husband about your pregnancy, it is sure to be a memorable moment for the both of you. Enjoy the nine months ahead!

- Arrange with your favorite restaurant to surprise your husband with some champagne halfway through your dinner to let him know you are going to have a baby. If the restaurant has a band, ask them to play a song that you like and dedicate it to the "new father" by announcing it to the whole restaurant.

- Design a little scavenger hunt game at home and drop hints to your husband on where to find the next clue which finally leads to a prize. If you want to be really cheeky, write a message like "You are going to be a father" on your chest and tell him in the final clue that his prize is underneath your clothes.

- Wrap a box and put a piece of paper in it that says something like "You will get your present 10 months from now!" and hand it to your husband. Tell him to open the present and he should know what to expect.

- Go shop for some baby stuff and put them in places where your husband will see them. You could get some baby books, diapers, clothing and other baby items and put them on his desk or in his suitcase to surprise him.

- If you already have a kid, purchase a custom shirt with the words "Someone is going to call me big brother/sister soon!" and get him or her to wear it and show it to your husband.

- Make sure you husband is at home when you do this... Shout at the top of your voice to bluff your husband into believing you are in grave danger. When he comes to you, smile and hand him your pregnancy test kit with the positive result!

- Cook some food with baby carrots, peas, corn and other mini versions of vegetables for your husband and serve them on baby plates and bowls.

- Send a enormous bouquet of flowers and a card to your husband's office to let him know you are pregnant. Most men do not receive flowers at work so this is really going to surprise him.

I hope these ideas will give you something to work on when you tell your husband about your pregnancy. I look forward to that day and wish you all the best.
