He read it out loud ("world's best sis") and it took him a few seconds to get it. I got it all on video, so it was pretty cute in the end.</p> <p>I think he was a tad bummed that I didn't do it on his birthday on Saturday. I guess he doesn't understand poas-ing urges... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-surprise-dh#post-1951039 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 15:24:47 +0000 LuLu Mom 1951039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anutka: Haha I had LO hand him the stick and say "look at this daddy" she followed it up with her own take of "what is this daddy?" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-surprise-dh#post-1951028 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 15:15:37 +0000 78h2o 1951028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anutka: Yay!!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations!!!!!!!!</p> <p>Hmmm....maybe you could buy some pickles and icecream and plop them on the table after dinner...telling him you picked up a special dessert?!</p> <p>For this pregnancy, I gave my LO the positive test and had her take it to my DH and say "baby"...she actually followed my directions perfectly!</p> <p>For my first pregnancy, I wrapped up a digital and a onesie and had him open it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-surprise-dh#post-1951015 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 15:10:51 +0000 Mamaof2 1951015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anutka: congrats!</p> <p>Blatant: Maybe when he comes in from work, assuming he hugs/kisses you say "oh be gentle I'm pregnant"</p> <p>cheesy: stick a 'bun" in the oven and ask him to get to pan out of the oven and he will find the "bun in the oven"</p> <p>Cute: Put the big sister shirt in the dryer and ask DH if he could please fold the stuff in the dryer for you </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-surprise-dh#post-1951014 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 15:10:15 +0000 Mrs. J 1951014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ahhh! Congrats! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-surprise-dh#post-1951010 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 15:06:23 +0000 Anutka 1951010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Iced Tea: oooh, that's good! I don't think I could pull something like that together though, but thanks for the idea!<br /> @Little Misters Mom: LO is halfway verbal and also in the "I'm not doing anything you tell me" phase, so I don't think that would work. Maybe I'll try, thanks!</p> <p>I'm trying to make up for last time. Last time I just held pee sticks in his face while laughing hysterically... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-surprise-dh#post-1950992 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 15:01:04 +0000 Little Misters Mom 1950992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How exciting! Congratulations. If your older one is verbal, you could just have her in the other room, tell him she has a special surprise for daddy, and videotape her telling him she's going to be a big sister. </p> <p>I'm terrible at this stuff though. I told DH in a text message. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-surprise-dh#post-1950989 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 14:59:45 +0000 Iced Tea 1950989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I drew hints on our chalkboard wall and waited for my husband to notice and put it all together. It was fun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-surprise-dh#post-1950924 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 14:29:04 +0000 Anutka 1950924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Holy sh*t. I just got a BFP at 9dpo, did NOT expect that. DH gets home in 2ish hours and I want to surprise him. I have a 'Big Sister' shirt for LO, but would love to do something more.</p> <p>Any suggestions?</p> <p>Thank you!! </p>
