The most boring way to tell your husband you are pregnant is to simply say "You are going to be a father!". Now that's not a lot of fun to break the news to him, is it? I did some research and created a list of 8 interesting ways for you to tell your husband you are going to have a baby...
- Arrange with your favorite restaurant to surprise your husband with some wine 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 daddy" by announcing it to the whole restaurant.
- Design a scavenger hunt game in your house with clues on pieces of paper that lead to prize. Bluff your husband into believing this game is going to lead to sex and watch him go hunting for all the clues while you wait for him to find the final clue to claim his prize. You can be creative with the prize... You could write a message like "You are going to be a daddy" on your body so that he will see it when he is trying to pull off your clothes. If you prefer something less raunchy, just write a note in the final clue with your pregnancy message and he will get a happy anti-climax.
- Tell your husband you're going to give him a little present about 10 months from the time you break the news to him. It should not take too long for him to figure it out.
- Go shop for some baby products 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.
- Shout at the top of your voice to trick your husband into thinking you are in some sort of danger at home. When he arrives, flash him your best cheeky grin and show him your pregnancy test kit with the positive result!
- Prepare dinner for your husband with a variety of baby carrots, peas, corn and other mini vegetables and serve them on baby dinnerware.
- 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.
