I saw some videos on you tube that had some great ideas. One woman put a baking pan in oven that had a bun in it with the test in the bun. she then asked for her husband's help and when he pulled it out of the oven he was all shocked.

I saw some other one's as well. wrap a gift that is a baby something, write on a piece of paper the due date for the baby, get a cake that says congrats dad, gift a baby something and include a picture of the test or the test itself. look at you tube pregnant surprise...i cant remember them all. but at least there are a few to start with.

I got a T-shirt for my DD that says I love being a big sister.  I figure I will see how long it takes people to notice.  With my DD, my aunt and I told my dad by way of a game at Thanksgiving.  We all usually play games and her and I talked about it ahead of time.  It was some kind of a game where two people gave clues to a particular word.  We planned ahead of time that when the two of us were paired up that we would just do the word pregnant.  It was really cute.

When we finally fall pregnant I plan on acting completely non-chalantly, but giving my ds the preg test to hold, and bringing him out and telling my dh to take the baby, and when he does he'll see the preg test. I'm hoping it'll be all cute and exciting. Also I'm going to make a shirt that says "big brother (due date)" and take a pic of him wearing it and post it as my main pic on fb, see how long it takes people to realize. :)

I'm still waiting to test *Fingers Crossed* but if this is our month then I have a card I got for DH and it says "My Love" on the front and "I followed my heart and it led me to you" on the inside and I'm going to write 'I still have a little bit to go untill I'm in your arms, I love you Daddy! See you in 9 months!' and give it to him.

For the in-laws I'm going to have t-shirts. Mine will say Baby with an arrow pointing at my belly, and DH will have one that says "You don't scare me! My wifes pregnant". and then we'll just see how long it takes for them to notice the shirts!!
