Congratulations @AssumeItWasSomethingClever ! So excited for you. I hope you are a good omen for all of us when our time comes 😊

springsummerautumnwinter · 21/07/2018 09:42

Congratulations! So excited for you. 10th of March! Great to have a date in mind you will have a little squidgy baby for the spring. How are you going to tell you partner. I remember he wanted to be told after test. Thanks

AssumeItWasSomethingClever · 21/07/2018 09:47

@springsummerautumnwinter. Thank you 😊 I have no idea how I’m going to tell him. He wants me to surprise him and doesn’t want me “to just blurt it out or throw a pissy stick” at him. We’re at a family bbq today so there’s not really time to tell him today. I’m dying to though!!

Jelliestogether · 21/07/2018 09:58

Wow @AssumeItWasSomethingClever you are so controlled!! I definitely wouldn't be able to hold back my excitement and not just tell him!!

AssumeItWasSomethingClever · 21/07/2018 10:02

@jelliestogether. I’m trying really hard to hide my ridiculously massive grin. I think he knows because I’ve offered to drive to the bbq and he gave me a look from the corner of his eye. I think I’m going to pop to next to get a baby grow with I love my daddy or something on it. I’m so unoriginal that I can’t think of any good ideas!

NeverHadANickname · 21/07/2018 10:13

I like that idea @AssumeItWasSomethingClever or ask him to make you a cuppa or bring you a biscuit or something because the baby really fancies one 😊

cupcakesandglitter · 21/07/2018 10:13

@AssumeItWasSomethingClever omg!!!! I'm so so so happy for you! Congratulations!

Maybe google some ideas to tell DH? I really like the babygrow idea!! Again massive congrats!! Xx

Thanks @cupcakesandglitter. I saw an idea of making a breakfast of egg and soldiers but cutting the soldiers into sperm shapes. That made me laugh but I don’t know if it’s to cringey/graphic. 😂😂

PastaSauceHoarder · 21/07/2018 10:32

Oh wow @AssumeItWasSomethingClever, massive congratulations!! Brilliant news! 💛💛

Jelliestogether · 21/07/2018 10:41

Too cute!! I'm sure he will love whatever you decide to do to surprise him!!

cupcakesandglitter · 21/07/2018 10:44

Oh hahahahahaha @AssumeItWasSomethingClever that's bloody brilliant 😂😂😂😂 I love it

Get some iced buns, pop them in the oven and tell them there's something in there for him 😂

cupcakesandglitter · 21/07/2018 14:01

I've worked out what I'm going to do!!

We already have the print attached but without the baby hand. I have a spare frame in the hallway, so I'm gonna put this print in and see how long it takes him to realise 😂

@cupcakesandglitter I love that idea!

Also love the baby grow suggestion too.

My friend filmed her husband's reaction - she put the positive test on the table before he got in and when he walked through the door he saw them and his reaction was just lovely! Made me well up!

crazychemist · 21/07/2018 16:21

Congratulations assume! So happy for you, let us know how DP reacts when he spots it

rollerskaterdata · 21/07/2018 21:03

OMG congrats @Assume, that is such fantastic news!! The mystery of the long cycle is well and truly over! I bet your DH will love whatever you do to surprise him, please let us know how he reacted! Hopefully those of us not waiting for much longer will join you and get BFPs soon! X

Bubblemumma1 · 22/07/2018 00:26

Congratulations @AssumeItWasSomethingClever!!

AssumeItWasSomethingClever · 22/07/2018 12:51

Thanks all. So I popped out to the shops today and got a baby grow from next with two little giraffes on it saying "daddy and me". I then made him fried egg with toast in the shape of sperm. He just jumped up and proper bear hugged me and said "are you?! Are you really?!" We laughed at the toast that looked like the toaster had mangled it. 😂 Then he got the baby grow out and I cried. I've got a doctors appointment on Thursday to confirm the pregnancy and see where we go from here!
I suppose I should probably leave this thread but do you all mind if I continue to lurk around?

springsummerautumnwinter · 22/07/2018 13:15

Please don't leave Assume. It will be great to hear about the progress of your little bean! Lovely reaction, a beautiful moment.

cupcakesandglitter · 22/07/2018 13:18

@AssumeItWasSomethingClever what a lovely moment 😭

I second @springsummerautumnwinter please don't leave!! Hopefully over time we'll all get our BFPs... please keep us updated!! So pleased for you x

OP posts:
PastaSauceHoarder · 22/07/2018 13:26

Yes don't leave @AssumeItWasSomethingClever, we're all so excited for you!

Jxtina86 · 22/07/2018 15:41

@AssumeItWasSomethingClever aww what a lovely moment! Yes please stick around and keep us updated! Love this little thread and don't want to move on from it myself when the time comes!

NoseringGirl · 22/07/2018 16:21

Just dropping back in to say congratulations @AssumeItWasSomethingClever! Very pleased for you!

crazychemist · 22/07/2018 16:59

Don't leave assume!

Regarding your appointment - you might want to phone your surgery and check who does the booking in appointment. With DD I made an appointment with my GP and his response was "congratulations.... why are you here? Are you hoping for a termination?" Apparently it was the midwife that I was supposed to see for the booking in appointment, so I had to make another appointment.

What a lovely way to tell him :-D hoping for lots of similarly gorgeous stories on this thread in the fullness of time Grin
