Here's the deal, we have a five month old baby and I'm pregnant again, "surprise". I haven't told anybody, I'm terrified of course, but I'm very happy, I know we didn't plan to have a baby this soon but I'm so happy and this is a blessing. The thing is that, it wasn't plan and I'm afraid that my man will be upset about it, he might get angry, but maybe if I take him somewhere or do something special then he might not react in a bad way to the news. I know he's gonna be scared as I am but I don't want him to get angry. do you have any ideas of where or how I can tell him I'm pregnant again??? I want to do it in a special way, so any ideas I would love them, thanks for your help

You have every reason to be scared, you guys just had a baby and then there's another one:). I think that these are some cute ideas to break the ice:
1.Make a nice dinner using only baby sized food like baby carrots,peas,small dinner rolls a chicken leg or wings with a small cup of milk or even a bottle/sippy cup! Then tell him that wer're having a meal the size of our new baby ~Don't forget to rub your belly while your telling him...:)
2. Make a shirt that says daddy I'm gonna have a brother or sister soon! and put it on your baby so when he gets home he'll read it...he can't get mad at that:)
3.Write him a love letter and at the end of it tell him that he loves you so much that he gave you another gift, the best gift in the whole world.....Wer're having another baby!(something like that?)
Those are a few cute ideas, but of course sometimes nothing goes as planned, just remeber to be excited, cause then the energy will rub off on him. Having another baby is a wonderful thing! (as you know) your children will be around the same age so they will beable to help each other and relate alot more in life. your man shouldn't get that mad besides he did play a very big role in getting you another bunddle of joy.... you can tell him that this is what he wanted if he decides to get pissy, he'll think about it and then be very happy. Most men freak out about the money problems and how to support the family that just means you have a wonder guy who really cares....CONGRATS on the new addition it'll be a handful but very rewarding!

I don't know about special ways to tell him, but the best time would be when he's loving being a dad.
Personally, I think I'd wait until he was cuddling the baby and start to talk about how much love I felt for the baby and how happy I was being a Mom. He'll probably say the same and that's when you give him the news. How you phrase it is up to you.
Good luck, and remember he has no right to be angry, you didn't get pregnant alone. Also remember, guys often display fear as anger. So if he does get angry, say, " I know this is scary, I'm scared too, but we're in this together right?"
It will help him remember you're a team.
Good luck and CONGRATULATIONS!

Wow it is very a tricky question! first of all - congrats! perhaps dropping tricks till he gets it - putting slightly one bottle crammed with m&m's in his table/bag, then perhaps a pair of infant booties in certainly one of his drawers, possibly a pacifier putting off his rearview reflect, or a e book of infant names slipped into the morning newspaper, possibly a kit of latest child diapers stashed in the back of his in demand bag of chips interior the kitchen, a t-shirt for the infant you have already got that announces "i'm the vast brother or sister", or a calander with your projected due date rotated. it can result being variety of a relaxing element so which you will do. Get imaginative! I wager after some tricks (even tho he's male) he will ask you or better yet, get the hint & be as excited as you're.

make i nice romantic dinner to share with him and durring dinner tell him you have some very happy news. then tell himm tat you and him are expecting a new baby. there will be no way to get around the initial shock and concern he will go through. and it probably didnt occur to him that you could get so pregnant so quickly. after the innitial shock, when he sees how happy you are he will calm down and be ok. if he loves the first baby as much as you do then he will love this one just as much. congradulations and good luck.

why would he be angry?he should be happy that there would be another bundle of joy.now for the surprise part,why not go to the mall and bring him to the infant dept,and then tell him that you're infanticipating,i'm sure he'll be excited and won't be mad.after telling celebrate by having a nice dinnerin a nice resto..
why not have a picnic and bring the test result with you?just tell him straight and simple good luck and congrats in advance!!!

Just a couple ideas. Get a baby bottle with a home pregnacy test. Or leave a pair of baby booties and leave them on his pillow with a small note something like guess what? Or, do it the old fashion way, and just come out and tell him.

Well i have this good idea...get a pink or blue ribbon and ask him which one do you like best? and he might say why? and just tell him. but if he comes up with an angry attitude just tell him that it's a blessing in disguise because most ppl aren't blessed with two kids. Good luck on it!

I always liked this idea, but could never do it as I cant help but blurt out the news!!!
Get a congratulations your a daddy card and write AGAIN!!!!!!!
Then leave it where he will find it or hand it to him, maybe even mail it. Then after he reads it you can have a talk.
Hopefully he wont respond in a negative way.
Good Luck and congratulations!!!

Buy a cake and have them write "we're pregnant.... again." I thought it was the cutest thing when my sister did that, and they got to eat cake!
Good luck and congratulations!!!!!!
