Can you even remember what you ate for that lunch?</p> <p>For us, DW was in the bathroom one morning getting ready for work and then came out showing me the positive pregnancy test. I think that she was so shocked/pleased that she didn't try to do anything surprising or complicated about revealing it to me. And then there was a least a few minutes where our conversation must have sounded like the teachers from Charlie Brown: wuh-wuh-wuh, wuh-wuh, wuh-wuh-wuh.</p> <p>I completely agree with @mrbee: for the first hour or two when I was at work, I was definitely useless, as all I could think about was "we're pregnant, we're pregnant, we're..." and on and on. </p> https://dads.hellobee.com/topic/surprise-were-pregnant#post-236 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 19:54:31 +0000 mrbee 236@https://dads.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrMB: Wow, that's fantastic!!!</p> <p>My wife got pregnant four times... the first two times were miscarriages, but they were the most exciting times in terms of news. She told me in a really clever way the first time that night when I got home from work, and I was so totally floored by the news that I couldn't even tell you what that clever way was anymore!</p> <p>It's like when I proposed to her: she said that once I proposed, she didn't hear anything else I said. I think it was the same way when she first told me she was pregnant!! </p> https://dads.hellobee.com/topic/surprise-were-pregnant#post-235 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 14:42:58 +0000 MrMB 235@https://dads.hellobee.com/ <p>Hey dads, Last week when DW innocuously wanted to meet up for a lunch date I have to admit getting the good news wasn't something on my mind. I mean, we had been trying for a little while so it wasn't like I was completely blindsided, but still she did a good job catching me off guard. When she picked me up from work, she told me she had something for me and pointed to a bag on the floor by my feet. When I peeked inside I found a few baby outfits and a positive pregnancy test. After a couple "For real?...Yes!" exchanges it of course got super emotional, and we were both beaming all throughout lunch. Made for quite the conversation piece. On the car ride to and from, I kept looking in the bag as if to try to reassure myself that I hadn't just imagined this.</p> <p>So where were you when you got the news and how did she tell you? </p>
