Fun ways to share your pregnancy with the father to be

Sharing the Blessed Event

Probably the second person to know that you’re expecting will be your husband or partner. If he wasn’t there, waiting breathlessly with you, as you took the pregnancy test, then you might want to find some special way to surprise him with the good news.

• Send them a card.
• Leave a baby name book around the house.
• Leave the pregnancy test out where he will find it.
• Have a dinner at a restaurant and–on the side–ask the waiter to bring a high chair.
• Rent birth related movie like Nine Months.
• If it is near a holiday (Father’s Day, Christmas, etc.) give him a baby gift (bib, crayons, bottle, etc.) for a gift Fathers’Day, his birthday, Christmas, etc.
• Fill his office or a room in the house with pink and blue balloons with question marks.
• Buy him a parent book like, ”My Boys Can Swim!” (a very funny book for dads-to-be).
