Before I was pregnant, I use to dream up creative ways I'd tell my husband, Jason. We both were equally excited to become parents I really wanted to make it special for us. We had been trying for a few months and on July 7, 2010, I woke up not feeling like myself. I went to work and decided I'd take a test when I got home. I guess a woman's intuition is right because there I was, sitting in my bedroom, holding a stick that read "pregnant."
I immediately started crying, I jumped up and down, paced the hallways, bursting with a happiness that I just can't explain. Jason was working late that day, so I took a few more tests, just to be sure. I didn't have time to plot out a surprise so I found wrapping paper and wrapped up two of the tests. I sat by the window like a little kid on Christmas morning waiting for him to come home.
As soon as he walked in, I handed him my gift and said "I saw this and thought about you, I think you'll like it." I intently watched him as he opened it, wondering what he was thinking, knowing our lives suddenly changed for the better. He didn't quite get it at first but when he looked at me I smiled and started crying, and he knew. It was such a special day I will never forget.
Every expectant mom has a story and I wanted to find out how others announced their big news. So I reached out to our Twitter and Facebook fans and asked them to share their stories of how they told their loved ones they were expecting. Grab a tissue, these are some great experiences!
