Things You'll Need:
- Apple Ciders
- Baby Rattles
-
Step 1
Set the stage. Pick a time and a place that suit your style: Reserve dinner, suggest an afternoon drive or an evening walk.
-
Step 2
Make the moment magical. Add a romantic touch by serving up sparkling cider (in lieu of Champagne). Slip into a new dress and fix up your hair, if that is important to you.
-
Step 3
Try the indirect method, if that's your style: Mention that your period is late or use a prop, like a rattle or a baby book, to get your point across.
-
Step 4
Consider integrating him into the discovery process. Tell him you think you could be pregnant, and then have him there with you to look at your test results.
-
Step 5
Try telling him by phone, if you think he'll need a little time by himself to settle into the news. It may make the process easier for you if you cannot see his facial expression.

on 11/13/2008 Next time I think I'm going to build on the bun in oven idea by taking a picture of the oven, a picture of the bun and a picture of me to make it into a 'picture equation'. BUN + OVEN = ME!

on 11/13/2008 I created a Powerpoint presentation with a construction theme on page one that said, "Our home will be expanding by two feet..." Then the next page had two little footprints and I wrote "two very tiny feet." Page three had a photo of the positive pregnancy test next to the clock that had the time and date on it. My husband LOVED it! What was especially cool is we had a double date planned for that night, and all night we kept giving each other knowing looks and squeezes!

on 8/9/2008 I work for a really cool company that specializes in scents! kind of like candles but much safer around children- its a home fan that you set on your desk, kitchen etc. Well, they make tons of scents so i ordered baby powder and put that cartridge in and when he came home, he's like "it smells like a baby in here". When he found me sitting in the living room i was reading a baby book and he got the hint. If you or someone you know thinks this is a great surprise, feel free to go to www.scentairhome.com (Mention K. Malone for a free baby gift!!!)

on 4/2/2008 cute ideas! I told my husband over the phone (my then fiance) because I couldn't wait another week when I would be able to tell him in person. It did come as a shock (a happy one, but still a shock) so I think it was good that way because he had time to process it and do a little freaking out by himself and then by the time we were together he was happy and excited.
