I found out yesterday that we're pregnant, but because it's our first, I want to make it special. Any ideas??

Go buy a baby outfit! A newborn or preemie nutral colors (so you can use it when baby is born) Put it a bag (like a diaper bag or just a decorative bag like the ones you give for b-days). Get a little congrats card and say congrats daddy on it. Then go to his work and suprise him. Or go out and eat and have it in the car trunk and say you have to go to the bathroom and go out and get it and bring it in. Hope you like it! My husband loved it.
Congrats and hope all goes well!

Well wait until you know for sure! Go to the doctor and get a confirmed positive test! That could be hard on both you and him if you say you are and then you are really not. What I did with my hubby was On New years Eve i found out. I gave him a card that said congrats on the cover and when he opened it I said you how does it feel to be a DAD!!! He loved it and it was a different way than just showing him a pregnancy test! Good luck. My sister in law sent my brother 2 carnations one pink and one blue. Then he pretty much figured it out!

This might be cute;-) Tell him that you would like to go shopping for some clothes and want him to go along with you. Once you get to the mall or shopping center go to the baby section and start looking at clothes and ask him what he thinks is cute for a newborn boy and for a girl. At that point you could tell him that he will be a daddy if he has not figured it out. Buy the outfits he selected and when the baby comes that could be the special 'coming home' outfit from the hospital. After shopping go out to a really nice dinner and enjoy your time together. ~Best wishes for a healthy pregnancy and baby!

You should go to the store, buy a few baby things that you can later actually use for your baby put it all in a basket or diaper bag or something like when you give as a gift when you go to a baby shower and have it delivered to his work by someone maybe even a co-worker and if he's not there yet have someone or you personally, and leave it on his desk before he gets there. Ideas for the gift basket: bib that reads "I love my Daddy" baby bottle, baby blanket, Desenex, neutral colored basic clothes like pajamas etc. Then it can have a note that reads something like "Congratulations for the Dad to be" or make it seem like it's coming from the baby itself like, "Daddy, I'm coming home in 9 more months to finally meet you and Mommy..."
Or heck why not just throw him a baby shower?
Either way, I think he'll be very pleasantly surprised! Congratulations!

Get a home pregnancy test., once you have the positive result you are going to wrap it and you are going to give it to him as a gift... You could give it to him, when you guys are in bed, watching television and know that you are not going to be interrupted by the phone and stuff... If it is not his b'day or you have no special occassion to celebrate, simply tell him that you got him a little gift because you were thinking about him because he is such a great husband... After he opens it, if he does not understand the signs meanings, give him the card which you buy, saying "I cannot wait to meet you daddy"!!! - - - good luck..

Buy a baby basinet or some baby clothes and set them out for him to see. When he asks what is up just say, Oh I was cleaning the house and put the remote for the tv over there and moved a chair over there and Oh I better move these baby things over here since we will be having one in about 9 months.

The day I found out, I went home and started cooking dinner. When he asked if he could help I asked him to set the table for 3. He asked who was coming to dinner and I told him no one, but he better get used to it, he would be doing it for 18 years at least! It took a minute but he got so excited when he figured it out!

i imagine he's ideal. basically because you imagine it really is your very last probability you want to have one. also at the same time as youngsters improve older they are not as huggy and cuddly and as a mom you would possibly want to omit that feeling. be at liberty with the three healthful youngsters you've and luxuriate in them. being pregnant and having a baby at your age will boost the prospect of down syndrome on your baby and different well being subject matters for both mom and baby, search for suggestion out of your physician he/she will be able to inform you an same aspect. hearken to you husband, he loves you.

Send him on a scavenger hunt. At the end, have a pair of baby booties wrapped in a package for him. See how long it takes him to figure it out! We love scavenger hunts here. (Put a note that says 'go to the refrigerator..' and then the next note would be in the fridge, and so on.)

wrap up a pregnancy test in a shirt box.... even though he may have seen it before it will keep him guessing for a while. Or you could play pictonary together and your clue could be were having a baby. Get creative with it. Congrats and good luck!
