Make a puzzle for your loved one that says “we're having a baby!” When they put together the puzzle, they will get the idea and will be as excited as you are.

Put stickers on your belly that says “Baby on Board”. Then have someone raise your shirt up to reveal your most precious secret.

Take a picture of the positive pregnancy test and email it to those you love and care about. They will all get it at the same time and will be able to email each other with their excitement.

Have a big cookie made from a bakery that says “I'm having a baby” and have it delivered to your husband's place of work.

Make a card for your husband that says “Congratulations, your swimmers won the race. Prize to be claimed in 9 months”. Give the card to your husband at a most romantic time.

Tell your husband that you've done something that really went over the budget and prepare him to re-crunch the numbers. Instead of giving him a pencil, hand him the positive pregnancy test. He will be so excited.

If it is Christmas time, wrap up a pair of baby booties and give them to your husband or parents to announce the big event.

Get the family together for a group shot and instead of having the photographer tell everyone to say cheese, have him tell everyone say “we're pregnant!” That way they can all find out at once and will be excited together.

Order some custom-made M&Ms that say “We're pregnant” or “Baby makes three”. Make sure the M&Ms are pink and blue unless you already know the sex of the baby.

Buy pink and blue balloons and send them or give them to your loved ones. They will eventually figure out that this means you are having a baby.

Make a couple of T-shirts. One is for the pregnant woman to wear that says, “I have a pea in the pod”. The other is for the husband that says “I have a bun in her oven” with an arrow pointing to the pregnant woman. Wear this to a family gathering and see if they figure it out.

Buy a pink onesie and a blue onesie and lay them out on the bed. When your husband comes home, ask him which color he thinks your new family member will like.

Get a copy of the ultrasound and mail them to all your friends and family. Put your due date on the picture and tell them this is the newest member of their family. They will be so excited when they get the letter.
