I'm not marrying her just because she's pregnant. We have been through a lot together and have been best friends since we were 7. I love her.

She has a son who I love like my own, he'll be two in January so if he could be involved that would be great.

Tell her you got her something for the baby at the babyshower if you want.Put the ring into a small box,then in a larger one, larger one again, and again and again.She will open all these boxes to find another one-it is so cute and thoughtful and different.You can have her son bring you the box if you want to involve him in the proposal.

If you want the 2 year old to be a part of the proposal you could make him a little shirt that says something like "Jake loves my mommy" or something cute (and your baby can wear it as a hand-me-down one day)
Then you can take the little guy out and when you come back he is wearing it. Have him give her the box w/ the ring (maybe even use the other idea of having it in several different sizes of box until it is so small that she knows it is a ring). The little guy will love helping her unwrap them.
Just make it special for you...maybe at the same place as your first date or first kiss.
No matter how you do it congrats!

What better way to start the new year. Here's a great idea make arrangements with a nice Italian restaurant tell them you want to propose to your girlfriend. Once you get there enjoy your meal. After they take the plates get on your knee take her hand and ask , will you marry me , then place the engagement ring on her finger. Then watch her reaction. I congratulate you for two reasons one for being a man and two for being a gentleman. Other guys should look after you. I wish you both lots of luck. God Bless and Merry Christmas.

Do it the old fashioned way. Discuss it with her parents first (particularly dad) to get their blessing.
Two suggestions come to mind. First, propose to her in front of her family at Christmas dinner. If that's too much for you, take her out to a special dinner just before Christmas and propose. Make dinner reservations somewhere and tell the restaurant what you plan to do so that they can help to make it special.
By doing it before Christmas, she'll be able to announce it to her family in person over the holidays and show off the ring ;).

Does she want to get married? Have you discussed it with her?
If so then find a romantic spot(romantic for her).Buy her roses or her favorite flowers. Have a ring and be sure to tell her that you want to be married because you love her.When it happened to me he just said that we should get married because of the baby, but did not love me so it meant very little to me, and his heart was not in it either.He left a month later saying that he did not want to be a husband or father.My son is now 17 and they have never met.
I hope and pray that you are in this till the end. They both need you to be. Good luck and congrats in advance!

Oh you are so sweet.
Well, you could put the ring in a little box with a not " Will You Marry Me? " & out the little box in a bigger one & that one in a BIGGER one & so on.
If you guys go to the dance you could have the DJ play some slow music & then you ask her to dance & then the DJ stops the music & says that ther is an important announcament. Then you pop the question.

Tie the ring to a pair of baby booties. Put the shoes in a nice box with a bow and give it to her. While she is opening the box get down on one knee and propose once she sees the ring.

Well I think it would be so sweet if you bout like a time capsule since you are starting a family...and tell her you want to add things to it to tell your child about when they are older.
Then give it to her place the ring box inside so when she opens it she will find that little surprise
Place the ring on her finger of course and you can place the ring box inside so you will have it to always remember your engagement by and later tell your child all about it. Congrats

The best advice I can give you is: don't propose.
You are likely proposing out of some antiquated idea that you must "do right by her" or something similar. The best thing you can do is stay single, get your head screwed on straight, and focus on bettering your life so that you can help this woman raise your child properly.
I know this is not what you wanted to hear, but it is truly the best thing you can do. If you marry this woman because of the child you will end up resenting her, resenting the child, and regretting all the things you didn't do, like pursuing your own happiness and your own true self-interest.
