I had an idea- I know, it doesn't happen often, but when it does *what a rush*!!! LOL
Anyway, I was thinking that it might be kind of cool to post a new sticky or subforum devoted to "How We Told DH and Family About Our BFP's". Since we are all trying to get that coveted second line, I think it would be fun to have a place where we could post fun and cute ideas we have either used or are planning to use to tell our family's that we are expecting again. By sharing our ideas we could give each other some inspiration to create a fun memory with our next pregnancies.
What do you think? Is this something that everyone would like??

I think it's a great idea...I just won't be using any of them, because I can never wait long enough to be creative

Yeah, I was going to give it a few days just to give everyone a chance to weigh in. I don't want to upset anyone, but I do think it will be fun to tell how we are planning to tell DH (or others) when we do get that BFP!!!

I'm usually not that crative, just blurt it out, but I always like to read other people's stories.

Gosh, I'm soooo boring. I came out of the bathroom and said, "Yep, there's a second line." DH said something about not wanting to touch it because I peed on it. But he looked and said," Yep, I see it." Gosh. I live a truly exciting life!!!
But, we haven't told the boys yet. I need some ideas for that one. We have one that is going to be hesitant about adding a new baby, one who will be indifferent, and one who will be thrilled beyond excitement.
I think the thread is a great idea!!!

did anyone watch Full House when they were younger? Well I sure did, and I remember the episode where Becky wanted to tell Uncle Jesse that they're pregnant, so she made dinner with everything made of 'baby' food things like: baby corn, baby carrots, baby back ribs, etc. And he was supposed to get the hint. I thought that was cute when I was young and saw that.
But I think it would be fun to read other people's stories. I probably would just be too excited to be creative and just blurt it out.
