I think I have a BFP I don't even know what BFP stand for. DH gets home in about an hour or two. Creative ways to tell him? So far I've got 1) Wrap up the test and give it to him as a gift to open 2) Mention casually at some stage in the evening about cleaning out the shed, and say "well I guess we can move the bassinet back into our room..." Anything better? This'll pretty much be our last one - he's really been wanting it, I've been kind of lukewarm. So I'd like to make it dramatic! If you know me IRL, please don't say anything! We won't tell anyone else till 3 months - although a bit unsure about the kids. And on a separate note. FAAAAAAAAAARK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations! I do like the idea of wrapping it up for him. I'm not creative so don't have any ideas for you, sorry! Just wanted to say congrats.

Ask him if he knows what BFP stands for (like you want him to tell you) then start screaming madly... or something like that. And/or does he know what a BFP looks like? And then show him your treasure. I dunno, but congratulations!

Tap him on the shoulder with the pee stick and say "I hereby knight thee Sir Father of Soon-to-be-three!" Nah, I have no ideas, but I wanted to say congratulations, how exciting!

Take a photo of all of your current family members shoes all lined up plus a pair of baby shoes at the end.....and then she it to him on his phone or show it to him on the computer downloaded Put an actual bun in our oven and ask him to see what is in the oven.....or take a photo of this and do as per above

Life was just starting to get kind of back on track again... Hmm I dont agree. I found the third just fit right in. My third has been the easiest baby ever - seriously she is just divine. The first was by far the hardest for me. The second it was just finding out how to juggle them both and 3 was easy peasy.
