How can I do it. Just found out myself. Massive surprise to me so I know it will be to him too.

I want to do it in a funny or sweet way and tonight if possible. I can't keep this in!

I gave the positive test to our toddler and told him to take it to Daddy. It was quite sweet.

Congrats!

is this your 2nd?

I was sitting the opposite end of the couch and sent DP a poem on a text...

I once was just 1 and then I found you, then "I" became "we" and "we" became 2. 9 months of waiting our "we" became 3 such a great family were you him and me, now hes getting tall and we wanted one more so guess what....our 3 is soon to be 4!

seeing his face when he turned round to me and realised what was going on was priceless! neither of us were expecting and complete shock to both of us.

cant take credit for the poem I found it on google, pinterest has loads of great ideas too.

I also gave my toddler it to give to daddy :). I was going to wait till Christmas Eve and wrap it up as an early present but I didn't stop crying for hours so would never have been able to hide it. You could still wrap it up and put it under the tree and tell him he can have an early present :)
