Whats a creative way to tell my husband Im pregnant

Im looking for a creative almost shocking way to tell my husband im pregnant.  Any stories or suggestions would be great!!  

heres a little info about my situation.  We were trying and this was the first month.  Our daughter was conceived our first month as well and when we decided on trying for a 2nd i told him we are both older now it will take more then 1 time and he disagreed and said one time is all that it will take. After haxing sex at ovulation he said congrats youre pregnant and he was dead serious.   He thinks he has super sperm =)   Since then he has not said anything, has not asked if ive taken a test, is my period here nothing.  I think its bc in his mind im pregnant bc of his super sperm therfore doesnt have to ask.   My period was due on the 9th.  Ive actually known Ive been pregnant since 8dpo and tested everyday since then bc im addicted!  

So since he already "knows" im pregnant I need a shocking way to tell him to get him excited.  Hes a laid back person doesnt get emotional or any of that.. When i told him I was preg with our first his answer was something like "cool".  So i need a way to shock him and surprise him.  Help me ladies!!!

well, if your daughter were old enough, i'd say you could put the pregnant suit on her.....(hey, if there's one way to p*ss a man off and surprise the heck outta him, it's tell him his "baby" is having a baby lol).....or you could always get her to ask daddy where babies come from, and then as he's trying to let that settle, let her tell him well mommy has 2 pink lines and she says it's a baby, so i wanna know when the baby will get here.....or something like that!

i looove what she's telling everyone, that is just SOOO cute!!!!!

Since he thinks he has super sperm hes not going to be shocked or surprised ya know.  My daughter has told my 4 brothers my parents and my mother in law.  I told her it was ok to tell them.  She goes "guess what, mommy saw 2 pink lines" and bc no one knows were trying they say what then she says "2 pink lines mean momma having a baby"  
Its so freaking adorable.  Shes done really good around daddy.  She hasnt even brought it up to him..  I would like for her to tell him.  Maybe ill let her get the beer bottle outta the fridge and give it to daddy!!!

you could rent one of those pregnancy suits and when he gets home you would look like you were 9 months pregnant and tell him he truely does have super sperm!  I like the beer bottle one though.  Is your daughter old enough to talk?  You could make her look psychic for a while and let her tell him.
My husband swears he has super sperm too!

Jusagirlxox  thats really cool idea but umm he proposed to me in his car that we dont have anymore and it wasnt that romantic.  He ordered the ring from zales.com bc hes lazy like that =) We got the mail, he opened it in the car right in front of me and then asked.  Heh I kinda did something similar to what you suggested with my first.  I told him he was going to be my babies daddy and showed him the test.

One way I thought was cool.. I thought about doing this myself since my husband is the same way.. but take him where he proposed to you and then you get down on one knee with the pregnancy test and ask him if he would like to be the father of your baby.. haha I love it. Just thought I would share...

Haha the car one sounds good but hes car is locked behind gates at work so thats out.  

I think I am going to go with the beer bottle thing.  Ill wash out the bottle put the cap on the test and put the urine side in first in case he does try and drink it.  I think im going to wait until he gets a couple in him so hes borderline tipsy then do it.  Im pretty sure hes going to be like WTH, then look at it and start laughing.. Im thinking sometime this weekend.  Thanks for all of the suggestions and advice.  Ill let you guys know how it goes!!

you could always make a video announcing it...putting photos of your daughter's birth until now..you can put it on a dvd and show him and at the end say it was quite the journey so far are you ready for it again???

ooooooooh, wait or you could go to his work one day while you know he won't be around, and write it all over his car with the window markers!!!  that's how our g/f told her fiance she was pregnant! he was in the field for like 6 weeks, and we went to the motor pool, and wrote it all over his truck the day before he came back! it was hilarious, b/c at first he didnt realize what it all said(it'd melted a little bit), so he called her and said his car had been vandalized....at first SHE was upset, but then realized what he was talking about, and she had to tell him everything.....

i'd go for the digital....but put it in with the absorbent tip DOWN, and wash the bottle out really good....idk what those *2* would smell like together, but it'd be best to wash the bottle lol

i think that'd be freakin hilarious!      df would probably be like wtf wtf is this? at first, then laugh afterwards....

putting the test in the bottle might give you a big laugh if that was to happen. But it could also make him made to. If i would of thought of that when i found out that i was again i probably done it just to see his reaction. :)

See this is the thing, he wont be bummed if im not pregnancy bc he's just not emotional you know.  So if i say im not then he will just be like ok.  He may be a little bummed that his so called super sperm didnt work like he thought but that would be about it.  

I thought about the big sister shirt but again hes not real emotional and i think it would be about the same as me telling him im pregnant.  And the dinner thing, eh hes not very bright sometimes so that ones kinda out =)

He likes to drink on his days off like most guys so i was thinking about getting one of his bottles pouring out the beer putting a digital that says pregnant and putting the cap back on and letting him get it outta the fridge. Heh im thinking that will deffinitly shock him but it sounds a little gross too likewhat if he goes to drink and out pops the test in his mouth.. I dunno what do you ladies think?

You could always do what I did - put a shirt (or you can make one yourself) on your daughter that says "I'm a big sister" and let her hang around with it on until he notices.  Or you can make a dinner with baby everything (baby back ribs, baby carrots, etc.).  More subtle, but maybe he'll get it.

"i told you so!"

Ha ha! That's a cute story... Ummmmmmmmmm... but this is a toughy. You could always be really bummed and say, "Honey, my period started..." And then a couple days later, wrap up a onesie or something for him.

It'd be lying though and I'm not partial to lying. I just don't know what else you could do!
