Pregnancy announcements are so much fun to do, but it can be so hard to find out the perfect way to announce your pregnancy to your partner.
I had so much fun with this when I was telling my husband about each of our pregnancies!
Our first pregnancy I just woke him up and showed him the pregnancy test. I wish I had some cute way to announce to him so I knew the second time I was going to be cuter about it.
The second time I wrote him a cute card and showed him my test and we were so pumped together.
The third time I got him a book about fathers, wrote a card and showed him the test. We both balled our eyes out while he was reading the card I got him because we lost both of our two previous babies.
And with our third baby we had a tough time getting pregnant again, so we were both pretty emotional, raw, and very happy about our pregnancy.
It was such a tender moment and I was so grateful that I took the time to make the moment meaningful to him too.
I hope that this list of ideas will help you find the perfect way to announce to your partner that you're pregnant. And I hope that when you announce to your partner that you will be able to have such a tender moment together.
Save this list for later as well so you can remember them.
Don't forget to read a checklist of things you should do right as you find out that you're pregnant and your checklist of things you should do in your third trimester!
