I took a Pregnancy Test today

[RockaFowler]

It was positive.

Oh boy! I'm 34 and scared to death. I'm also so very happy. I always wanted to have a baby, so wish me luck.

Also, does anyone know a good way to let the hubby know?? I was thinking of Sunday (Mother's Day). It is a little cliche', but what the heck huh??

[bigwillq]

1. Congrats!

:bounce:

Good luck!


Was it planned? :shrug:

[RockaFowler]

3. Kinda Sorta

We have wanted a baby, but we got 3 dogs instead

[bigwillq]

8. He's going to be happy.

Just tell him. No better day but today! :)

[La Lioness Priyanka]

52. lol! quoting from rent are we?

[bigwillq]

53. Yes I was!

Got a problem with that?!?!?!? :P :)


:hi:

[gollygee]

2. Congrats!!

I told my husband by showing him the stick. LOL. "What the hell is this?"

[RockaFowler]

5. It's by the bed right now

I could just spring it on him

[Gormy Cuss]

4. Congratulations!

Can't help you with your question but
:applause: :applause: :applause: :applause:

[YellowRubberDuckie]

6. You told us before you told him?

Get your ass to where he is and tell him now. Don't wait until Sunday. He's going to be pissed you've known this long without telling him.
Duckie

[RockaFowler]

7. I know I know

I just want a "way" to tell him. This is all new for us both. 1st kid for either of us!

[YellowRubberDuckie]

9. Hand him the stick, and say "Baby, you're not just my Daddy anymore."

:rofl:
Sorry. I'm hyper and silly tonight.
Duckie

[greatauntoftriplets]

12. What Duckie said....Tell him!!

And congratulations.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

14. Congrats seconded...

Sorry I sounded so harsh, but I usually treat everyone on DU like I treat my best friends. I'm honest and when they need a swift kick in the tail, it's usually me that does it.
It is truly great news.
Duckie

[greatauntoftriplets]

17. You said what I was thinking as I read the thread.....

Didn't come across as harsh to me. Her husband should be told, before we let the cat out of the bag. ;)

[gatorboy]

10. Congratulations!!!

My wife and I are also expecting and are in our thirties so don't sweat it.

We're gonna be old farts when they graduate, though. :P

[Peter Frank]

11. Congrats RockaFowler! I have an idea...

You can serve your husband puffed rice for breakfast; then ask him if he knows why you did. ;)

[xmas74]

13. Just tell him.

If you two were trying for one it's not a big deal to spring it on him. He'll be giddy w/ excitement-especially if you promise him a trip to the local toy store on Sunday to look at baby toys!

Congrats!

[Starbucks Anarchist]

15. Congratulations!

:toast:

[StellaBlue]

16. Awesome!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!

Of course you're scared to death. That's amazing. You say you've always wanted to have a baby, so there you go! You'll be a wonderful RockaMom!!!!!!!

[Ravenseye]

18. Congrats

Definately tell him. How? No clue. heh.

[Spider Jerusalem]

19. 'Hey, guess what? You aren't sterile.'

[ScreamingMeemie]

20. Wrap up the test stick and give it to him. And don't feel bad...my best

friend knew before MrG did with our son. :hug: Congrats!

[TroubleMan]

21. Hey...you live right around the corner from me!!...and congrats!!

I'm here in Royal Palm Beach, and my wife and I have a 2 month old daughter.

Good luck on the new baby.

[Canadian Socialist]

22. Do what (allegedly) my mum did

on the first one. Bearing in mind both were in the Army...

Right! All those who are not fathers... step forth... Not so fast XXX (my dad's last name). My mum said it worked for her... ymmv. heeee.

[SoCalDem]

23. Tell him you want to go out on Mother's day, and when he says

"But you're not a mother".. Say "Wanna bet?"

[wellstone dem]

24. THat's a good one

make sure you tell him before mother's day so he can get you a present!

[BlueIris]

25. Sunday is my birthday. Uh, about that...

May 14th isn't the greatest day to have been born, IMHO. It's also not going to be the nicest day in the history of America, methinks. Neither is Monday. You should do what you want, but--meh. May 16th would be a much better "announcement" day.

[Kire]

27. What are you talking about?

What's going to be not so nice about it?

Edit: Congratulations to RockaFowler by the way.

[BlueIris]

29. Um, hon...new carriers headed for the Gulf. Bush in the '20s.

Rove (and god knows how many others) on the ropes. Right this very second, it's a toss up as to whether or not we're going to have any nuclear action in Iran. By Sunday, it could be sordid.

Hey, know what, RockaFowler? Why don't you tell that domestic partner of yours your good news this minute or later tonight! That way, in case all hell breaks loose over the weekend, you'll have such a nice "before" memory.

And congrats again. Not trying to be a downer in your baby thread, just tossing out some updates regarding current events to those who don't like to leave the Lounge so much.

[Kire]

34. Thanks for telling me.

:tinfoilhat:

[Ariana Celeste]

28. Me too!

I have a couple of not-so-fond memories of family members showing up on Mother's Day, with gifts and cards for my mom... but nothing for me... because they forget so easily, what with Mother's Day and all...

[BlueIris]

31. Geez, who knew we had the same birthday? I feel so special.

BOSSHOG is also a May 14ther.

[PassingFair]

26. When I tested positive for my second baby...

I left the test with the mail for my husband to find.

He didn't go for the mail like he usually did. I had
to keep asking him: "Anything in the mail"?

When he finally looked through it, he got a BIG
surprise.

[ScreamingMeemie]

50. .and then he proceeded to go all nutty, right?

;) :hi:

[PassingFair]

54. He was still "nutty" from the first one.....

He LOVES pregnancy. Sicko.

[Ariana Celeste]

30. Congrats!!

:hi: :hug: :woohoo:

[NewJeffCT]

32. Congratulations

Good luck with the pregnancy, though I can't imagine telling strangers on DU before your own husband!

Just tell him as soon as you can.

Both of you catch up on your sleep now, and just stay calm the next year to 18 months... you'll both often be tired and it will be easier to lose your temper or get stressed out when you're run down.

[Pale Blue Dot]

33. What a coincidence! So did I!

Mine was negative, though. Again. :cry:

Why oh why can't men have babies? :cry:

Congrats to you though!!! :woohoo:

[Pirate Smile]

35. Congrats - just tell him. It isn't like an engagement. The atmosphere

isn't that important.

Best of Luck.

[GreenPartyVoter]

36. That's super! *hugs* make sure you get enough folic acid. :^)

[deadparrot]

37. Congratulations!

Best of luck to you and your husband. :hi:

[radwriter0555]

38. LOTS of bananas, and chicken will make you puke very shortly.

Other than that, HAVE A BALL!

And ice cream. Eat lots of ice cream.

[aquaman]

39. Congrats......

My wife and I have a 14 week old son, and are both in our 30's too. You are in for a great time. I would not trade it in for the world. We hope to have another in the next year or so. Good luck!!! Tell your man now!!!

[Haole Girl]

40. Congrats! You are going to have the baby you always wanted!

You must be so happy!

Try not to be scared. :grouphug:

[seemunkee]

41. Adventure of a lifetime

Kids can be so much fun and sometimes a lot of heatbreak but the ride is well worth it. Congratulations.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

42. Wonderful!

Congrats!

Mother's Day is perfect! :hug:

[The Wielding Truth]

43. Just look at him, smile and say "I think I am. I think we are. "

If he gets it then he can take it from there. If he doesn't then you can have the test in your hand and show him. Lotsa kisses and a nice Pre- Mothers Day celebration Sunday. I'm so happy for you both.

[slybacon9]

44. Definitely wait til Moms day, and then ask, "so... what did you get me?"

and then let him figure it out.... !!!!

And make sure to tell us all about it afterwards. AW, i love shit like this....

[Nicole]

45. Congrats

I told my husband I was pregnant visually.

Have you seen those cheesy looking t-shirts that read baby with an arrow pointing down to the tummy?

I did that except I skipped the t-shirt & wrote it on my skin with edible body paint. I then stood in front of the t.v. & flashed him.

[jmm]

46. Tell him you're craving pickles, ice cream, bacon, and maple syrup

He'll know ;-)

Congratulations!

[Broken_Hero]

47. congratulations! n/t

[raptor_rider]

48. Congratulations!!!

My husband and I are expecting our son in about 6 weeks. Though I showed him first as to where we were trying and had a miscarriage 4 months prior. Tell him as soon as possible, he will be so happy!!! Get ready for a fun ride!!!

[miss_american_pie]

49. Congrats!

My best friend knew before my hubby with our first, too. I didn't ever tell him in any clever ways, but have a good day tomorrow.

:woohoo:

[Maine-ah]

51. Congrats!

I told mine by sitting him down and showing him the test. But, it has been quite the surprise for us after 11 years of being together, this is our first child and we're due in Nov.

I think the idea of telling him on mother's day is great! All the best wishes and goodluck to you both!

[TallahasseeGrannie]

55. Oh, my...congratulations

you are embarking on a journey that will give you the greatest joy...and the greatest anxiety. I hope you have a lot more of the former.
