Of course, by this time I was pretty sure but really needed to see the positive test.<br />We finally got home a day after our 1st anniversary and I went out and bought a test while he took a nap. <br />I had always wanted to share the news with my husband in a special way but I couldn't wait -it wasn't as if he was clueless at this point... So, I took the test and ran to the living room dancing, waking him up, and showing him the test. So original, huh?<br />When it was time to tell our parents (right away) we ordered gigantic fortune cookies and had a cute little baby poem put inside.Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01611793050138966235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2590679856739734993.post-24021547672140019832009-10-23T15:35:25.295-04:002009-10-23T15:35:25.295-04:00I told each person in a different way. My brother...I told each person in a different way. My brother I told when he brought his son over. THey lived with us for a little while and I lean over and told my nephew that I was going to have to change "his" room in to a room for the baby. My brother went crazy with excitement. My mom, I played a trick on. My husband and I had been married 9 years when we decided to try for our first child. After finding out we were pregnant, I called my mom and pretended to be upset. When she asked what was wrong, I told her that things were changing and I did not think that my husband and I would make it as a couple anymore. She was very concerned as everyone always told us we were a great couple. After a bit, I told her that since we could not make it as a couple, we would have to try to make it as a family. She started screaming (and she was at work!). I was the first of my 4 siblings to get married and the last to have kids.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13276668466599389691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2590679856739734993.post-90095672048800484772009-10-23T12:08:53.328-04:002009-10-23T12:08:53.328-04:00I suspected I might be pregnant, so I took a test ...I suspected I might be pregnant, so I took a test one morning, set it on the bathroom counter, then forgot all about it until I'd gotten my hubby off to work... When I found it upstairs (45 min later) and it was positive, I hatched a plan to share my news. Here's a link to the video I took as I spilled the beans:<br />http://growingupsharp.blogspot.com/2009/04/have-you-missed-me.htmlSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07611346109361854732noreply@blogger.com
