Special Way to Tell DH

Just as the title says, I'm wondering if anyone has a special way of telling DH that you've had a positive test? It's early days but I've just had a definite second line on the test!

This will be our 3rd (and definitely final) baby. The first 2 pregnancies I found really really tough emotionally and so I'm determined this time not to allow it to effect me so much. I want to announce the news to DH in a really special way, to get this pregnancy off to the right start...

Any ideas???

Baby 1 I had a feeling I was pregnant but had a negative test. On still not getting my period I bought a pregnancy test sized gift box. When I finally got a positive I popped it in the box and gave it to him minutes later when he woke up. He was thrilled.

Baby 2 was a surprise. He'd been at work late one night and when he came in I gave him a lentil and told him this was approximately the size of our baby. He was shocked, had a whisky and was then thrilled.

Baby 3 another surprise (no we're not stupid). I put a toy bread roll into the kiddie toy oven (which DH says is actually a microwave) and handed it to him when he woke up. He burst out laughing and then it properly twigged.

@MaverickSnoopy haha very innovative ways to tell him.
@Patienceofatoddler yes also dreading telling work, I haven't been back long since having DD2! With number DD2 I started showing at around 18 weeks so who knows how early it will be this time!
