Have a baby car seat installed in the back seat of the car and then send him out to the car to fetch something for her...surprise!

My husband and I waited to tell until we had the pregnancy confirmed by the doctor. Your cousin and husband should break the news when they feel ready to. As for how to break the news, my husband and I bought our parents a photo frame. We made a sign that says "Under Construction. ETA: March 11, 2007", and put the sign in the frame. Your cousin could do that for all family members. Then everyone will have a frame to put the new baby's picture in when it is born.

Best way to break the news is gather everyone up for sort of a reunion, then when everyone is relaxed.......interupt and tell them. Pregnancies are tricky when it comes to people, and the best way to know how they feel is let them know. If you cousin is happy about the pregnancy, and you are as well, but others aren't, just be there for her. She'll need the extra comfort as do all pregnant women:) GL and tell her congratulations for us all here :)

Good news and congrats your cousin
What my friend did, her wife wrap the successful pregnancy testter in a box and present it to her husband, at a moment her hubby was so confused, and later then he understand.
For me and my wife, we started a family gathering where brothers and sisters sitting and chatting. Suddenly my wife said that everybody has to buy her very nice baby clothes.

She should tell him as soon as possible...tell her to just hand him the test thats how I told my mom. I told my babys father by just texting him and telling him you might be a daddy I'll check again tomorrow for sure. He was like WHAT?!?!? So I don't think that was a very good way.

i started telling people right away but then agian im terrible with secreats. gossip gets around fast anyhow and when i wasn't drinking at christmas everyone pretty much knew anyways, if they are happy about it everyone should be happy for them.

When the next family event is and have them announce the big event. Give them little clues and make it fun and exciting for everyone.

Wait till she is 3 months along first. The first 3 months miscarriages are common and you just want to wait till that first doctor's appt. before you tell anyone.
