I'm Currently Feeling:  | If I am....
If I am pregnant how should I tell dad-to-be? I've deliberated over this question many many times but for those of you who don't know me my DH works away for a few weeks at a time - so the question is if I get a BFP this month (I'm 8 DPO now, so in the next week or so I hope) and and as hubby isn't due back for 3 weeks, do I tell him by phone, e-card or do I lie and tell him AF came and surprise him when he gets home? |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I think the card idea is lovely, although if your anything like me you'll spurt it out via sat phone! I cannot keep secrets. Would knowing make his time away drag on and spoil it for him?
Do you get to meet him when he gets home or does he just rock up at the house? You could make him a goody bag and give it to him on his return?
Whatever you decide, I bet it will be the most amazing moment! |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I've been thinking about this and I think it would be mean to tell him over the phone. Cos then he'd have to go back to work and I'm sure he'd be super excited but wouldn't be able to tell anyone. I know I'll want to shout it from the rooftops but at least if I tell him when he's here we can talk about it together and he won't have to sneak into another office to talk to me!
But will I be able to not tell him?!!! Probably won't even be an issue anyway cos the goddam witch will probably come on Wed bang on time! |
