How did you tell him?

Hey ladies, im feeling sentimental, im curious how you told your SO (significant other) that you were pregnant with their child, and how did they react? We were trying to conceive, and i took a test just out of the blue one day, wasn't far enough along to have any symptoms, it was just a random thought *eh why not* take a pregnancy test since i had one left. Well to my own amazing surprise i got 2 pink lines, well being a first time mom i was so excited that i,and quote him here, "you were so excited i heard squealing coming from the bathroom for at least a minute before the door busts open and you squeal all the way over to me holding up the test, did you even breathe?" lol well truth be told i was OVER THE MOON excited, so i didnt even think to say it in some cute way, or drop a hint. OH WELL there is always #2 later on xD

I am now 27 weeks pregnant with our first child, a daughter we will name Kaylie Shay. So what about you ladies, would love to hear your big reveal stories! :)

I had took so many negative tests.  SO MANY. My partner and I went to the store to get some stuff to cookout and I found him in the pregnancy test aisle, googling tests.l Well, we got home, unloaded the groceries, fired up the grill and I went to the bathroom. I took the test and sat it on the floor, not expecting a positive result when I picked it up and just kind of laughed a little bit. I picked up the directions just to make sure the result I was reading was positive. It was. I just walked out back, put my arms around him and said, we're going to have a baby. He smiled, and said, are we? I simply replied yes. He kissed me and we both stood there, with our arms around each other. Honestly everything seemed to slow down in that moment and it was truly magical. After so many negative tests...... This one finally came out positive. :)

With our first we had been TTC for maybe 2 months when things at work started to slow down and finances seemed more insecure and my husband said maybe we should wait a little longer and I agreed. However, a couple days later I had this gut feeling so I took the test when I got home from work, I came out of the bathroom and said to him "you sure you want to wait?" He looked at me and was just ecstatic. He ran out the door told his friend who lived down the hall, called his mom right away. We were just so excited even though timing wasn't ideal.
This time we had been ttc for almost a year and I was so fed up I stupid keeping track of my cycle. We were texting each other while we were at our jobs and he kind of figured it out before I realized it. He told me he was going to get a test for me cause I was like 2 weeks late and I said "really?" And he was right. We're at 35w with baby number 2 and our first is 6.
