How to Tell Your Partner that You’re Pregnant

by Kathy T.

Obviously, if you look like you’re shoplifting a watermelon under your shirt, your husband or partner is probably going to know that something is up. Hopefully, you”ll have told him by that point! How you do that, though, is entirely up to you. If you and your significant other are quirky, fun people who enjoy the whimsical side of life, you might enjoy this post by Stephanie Wiersma at Yahoo Voices. It has lots of fun, silly ways to tell your partner the news. Here are some of my favorites:

-When it’s time for your husband’s favorite sports team to begin their season, tell your husband you thoroughly support his addiction and bought a gift to prove it. Hand him a box or gift bag that contains an emblem from his favorite team — on baby clothes. 

-Take a picture of your pregnancy test (or scan your ultrasound photo, if you have it yet), and change the desktop photo on his computer or laptop.

-Tell your husband it’s time to rearrange the bedroom. Draw up a quick sketch of the bedroom and where you’ll want to put the furniture. Then show it to your husband: This is where you’ll put the dresser, here’s the bed, this is where the crib will go….

Gender Reveal Parties: “Waddle” it Be?

by Kathy T.

If you haven’t heard about gender reveal parties, you’re not the only one. A fairly recent trend that has taken the blogosphere, Pinterest, and pretty much the entire online community of expectant moms by storm. It’s a bit like a baby shower, but instead of opening gifts, the soon-to-be parents find out the sex of their baby while surrounded by family and friends.

I’ve seen tons of great ideas for the big reveal: you cut open a cake revealing either a pink or a blue middle, you release a box of mystery colored balloons, open up a gift to find a gender-specific onesie— the possibilities are truly endless. It does require a lot of secrecy and planning from one designated friend, but the payoff is always worth it.

One of the best ideas for these parties that I’ve seen is a duck-themed one titled: “Waddle It Be?” Isn’t that the cutest?

For more gender reveal cakes and ideas, check out this post from The Newlywed Pilgrimage.
