Just come out and tell him. Making it more special would be nicer for him, I'm sure he'll be happy

I never had this issue. Baby #3 and each time I told him straight up, I'm pregnant, with no hesistation. Because it took two, not just me. They were never planned but we were always excited.

My hubby was with me when we took the test. I didn't get to do anything cool:(  You could write a riddle that he has to figure out!  
And there is nothing wrong with us telling her our experiences. It gives her ideas as well. Not sure how her parade was rained on!
Congratulations hun!!!

Ok to the ladies who didn't have such good experiences. She didn't ask what you did, she asked how she should do it.. Im sorry your experience wasn't so great and no offence but lets not rain on her parade..

Mina... How about bake him a cake and put one of those little toys that look like babies?? You know like they do for mardi gras with the king cakes! Or put the toy in his fave dish. Or use cake decorations to say "Your a Daddy!"

Its cool that you can wait. I was so freaking scared and excited I just blurted it out as soon as I took the test. Lol

We planned ours but when I found out I put a bun inthe oven and told him tthere's something special in the oven. It took him forever it was hilarious trying to get him to understand so it made it funny but once he was like there's a bun in the oven he started crying and gave me a huge hug.

Make or buy him an early Father's Day card. Planned or not, he's going to be a daddy!
