thanks for the the ideas girls!! im supposed to go to the doctor tomorrow and see what happens... so as soon as i know for sure i will figure out what to do...
omg there are sooooooooooooo many videos on youtube about this! go to you tube and type in pregnancy announcement and it will bring up loads of vids! watch a few for inspiration! Good luck and let us know how it goes!
Just a funny story about how my sister told her husband....
My sister put an actual BUN in her oven, she asked her husband to preheat the oven for supper...When he went to look inside he saw the BUN and said "who is the MORON that put a BUN in the oven?" (I should say at that time they rented one of the rooms in their home out) she said "Hon, I think that your that MORON!!" not the way she was hoping it would go, it took him a few minutes but he got it. lol
I like the idea of the onsie and a card. Maybe you could get a small tape recorder and try taping the heartbeat when you go to the doctors. I imagine him getting to hear the heartbeat while deployed would be a huge surprise. Is this your first child? If so then you could call the parents and inlaws and while talking to them just casually ask them if they would rather be called grandma or grammy?
Ohhh for your husband you could send him a small package with a onesize that says something about being a daddy :) And a note or card saying the due date!
