So, which of my awesome suggestions did I take? None. Well, none when it came to the biggest and most important reveal - my husband. I just walked out of the bathroom completely stunned and said, "I think I'm pregnant." To which he said, if I remember correctly, "What does that mean?"
The conversation then proceeded with me explaining that I used the pregnancy test (like I said I would five minutes earlier). I waited the appropriate amount of minutes for an accurate result. I looked at the pee covered stick. There were TWO pink lines. Then I repeated, "I think I'm pregnant." This time he said, "You are pregnant." It wasn't a could be, might be, "think" situation. I was or I wasn't, and I was. Pure joy. Then I took another test, for good measure.

I will never forget that exchange. I will never forget that day. So, the lesson quickly became - it doesn't matter how one reveals her pregnancy. It's unforgettable no matter the method.
