Is anyone else waiting to tell their DH/SO until Christmas morning?

I am and I'm bursting to tell him! I can't wait! If so, what are your plans?

No way! I am terrible at keeping secrets from DH.  He knew seconds after I found out.  This news is too big to not share with him right away!

Christmas Eve :) I get my bloodwork results tomorrow am, so probably at night when everyone else is asleep. 

  My plan is to tell DH late tomorrow night when we are finally alone (we are spending the holiday with his family). I'm currently sort of hiding out to avoid all the offers of wine, mulled wine and egg nog!  My plan is to tell DH I have an early Christmas gift for him and then give him a gift bag containing a gund "my first golf bag" and a book on fatherhood.  The inside cover of the book has a note from "Pistache" instructing "dad" to please read the book before 9/3/13, his/her  estimated date of arrival. I hope he understands the message ;). If not, I'll show him the digital test ;)

We were goofing around talking about what we would nickname a potential baby for the long 9 months in utero, and decided on 'Pistachio', but "Pistache" if we conceived during our December trip to Paris. We successfully conceived while in Paris, so "Pistache" it will be! :)

 

sorry if parts of this are bold, my iPad hates the bump.

I thought about trying to wait til Christmas, but that lasted all of 5 minutes. Instead I put DS in his "best big bro" shirt and sent him out to find his daddy. Took him a minute to notice, but once he read it he looked at me and said "Are you pregnant?!".

I'm planning a Christmas surprise! I've known for days and it's been soooo hard not to blurt it out, but I have this great idea for hubby's Christmas morning surprise and it involves my 18 year old daughter who's home for Christmas too. For DH I have a onesie I had printed with "Daddy's Little Hobbit" (we're huge LotR fans) and a funny book on dads and pregnancy that I've wrapped, and for DD I have a picture frame with 'sister' stickers and such all over it and a lovely little poem 'from the baby' inside. I plan on filming the general gift opening on Xmas morning anyways, so will just make sure they get their special gifts at the same time and film their reactions. I can't wait, only the anticipation of the huge surprise it'll be is allowing me to keep this secret! 
 
I'm also doing the picture frame/poem thing for my parents later Christmas day and DH's mom when we see her Boxing Day.

DH saw the second line on our test before I did! He always wanted to be there when I tested, so it would have been impossible to surprise him. But, I am impressed with those of you who can wait to share the news!

TTC #1 since January 2011
BFP#1 April 12, 2011, EDD December 24, 2011, strong heart beat at 7w3d, d&c at 10w6d
BFP#2 Oct 24, 2011, natural miscarriage, EDD unknown

After RPL testing my losses and infertility are considered unexplained.
Cycle #22: Femara, TI, and progesterone = BFP!!
BFP#3 Dec 21, 2012. Beta #1 @14dpo = 134, progesterone 67.8
Beta #2 @ 17dpo = 664!

Sending lots of love and luck to KGS2003. I have crates of sparkling cider waiting for the day she gets her BFP!!

Nope. I texted him a picture, and he has been analyzing pee sticks ever since.

It's almost a ritual now. Lol. I usually test after he has left for work, then text him a picture. Out of four pregnancies, I have only NOT done that once.... And that was DS's. I was sure I wasn't pregnant and he made me test. He told me, because I peed on the digital and left the bathroom (hormonal much?).

IVF, OHSS, PPROM, loss of twins at 23 weeks, and a FET to get my take home baby. Lilypie Third Birthday tickers
IVF cycle two=success! Hoping for another take home baby. Missed miscarriage at 9w4d. Here we go again....
IVF cycle three- transferred two and had NINE to freeze. BFP! Hoping this is our second rainbow baby.

I don't tell my DH in any special way.  With each pregnancy this year, I've just showed him the stick and said "guess what?"  You'll have to update us on how it goes when you tell your DH...I'm sure he's going to be excited! :)

Congrats! I told my hubby shortly after my BFP. I went and bought a fathertobe card and signed it me and his baby to be. He was a bit in shock :. We've been TTC for 2 months and are truly blessed this Christmas. Pls let us know how it goes...
